Everybody loves a little carnage.

I am pleased to announce that my story, "Red as Snow," will be appearing in the December issue of Fiction River, subtitled Hex in the City. Need more details on Fiction River? Look no further than this link. But, you know. I'm going to give more details anyway, because I'm that kind of girl.

This is a monthly anthology series, each issue focusing on a different theme. December is the month of urban fantasy, but they've covered an amazing range of subjects already, and I'm incredibly excited to see where they're going to go from here.

"Red as Snow" is an Istas-narrated story, which is a first for me. It's also the first story set in the InCryptid universe but not centering on any member of the Price-Healy family. Instead, it's about Istas, and Ryan, and parasols, and pizza. And carnage, of course. You can't have waheela without carnage.

This is a new chapter in the expansion of the greater InCryptid universe, and I couldn't be more excited about it. December 2013! Mark your calendars, and prepare for impact.

Yay!

I just finished Midnight Blue-Light Special a couple of days ago, and totally fell in love with Istas. I look forward to reading this!

Hail the upcoming carnage and frills!

(though boo that you can't pre-order the e-format - oh well)

ISTAS! Yay!

I'm very excited because I have a story appearing in Hex in the City, too! Sharing a table of contents with you is a true honor.

*SQUEE* As someone who raced through InCryptid #2 and loved every second of Istas's appearances (and may I add how cute she and Ryan are together? Badass and sweet and it makes me smile), I am really looking forward to this! I am craving more of Istas. (and my girlfriend is hoping to see more Tanuki, as she loves them). HAIL ISTAS!

\Also, got my mom addicted to InCryptid. Now going to start her on Toby Daye, as she's an urban fantasy addict like me :3 Thank you!

HAIL CARNAGE AND LEFTOVERS.

Awesome! Carnage and parasols compliment each other excellently.

[spectralbovine.livejournal.com]

And it is FUCKING FANTASTIC.

That high pitched "EEEEEEE" you just heard was me, squealing with delight at Istas having her very own story.

Yes, yes, I have deafened you all. I AM NOT SORRY.

“We're more of the love, blood, and rhetoric school. Well, we can do you blood and love without the rhetoric, and we can do you blood and rhetoric without the love, and we can do you all three concurrent or consecutive. But we can't give you love and rhetoric without the blood. Blood is compulsory. They're all blood, you see.”

*Swoon* very cool

Istas and the mice was...one of the the most terrifyingly heart-warming scenes ever and more of her would be very cool

[glam kitty (from livejournal.com)]

Giddy at the thought of gleefully girding myself for gory bits, galore!

[fadethecat.livejournal.com]

Yay, Istas! She is one of my absolute favorite characters in the series. It's a competitive list, but she's definitely in the top five. Maybe the top three.

[ravenclawed.livejournal.com]

An Istas story? That just made my day!

[yellowblackhaze.livejournal.com]

I'll have to look for this later in the year, because I love Istas and her interesting taste in clothes.

[bekitty.livejournal.com]

Um. It wasn't just you. Just saying. :D \o/

[vincentursus.livejournal.com]

More Istas is fun. I look forwards to it.

[groblek.livejournal.com]

A story from Istas' POV? I'm in! Midnight Blue-light Special reminded me just how much I like Istas. :)

YOU WROTE AN ISTAS STORY!

[jaggedtoothgrin.livejournal.com]

I just yesterday thought "I wonder how long till we get an Istas book" (followed by "I wonder how much donation to that thing mentioned earlier would be needed to get an Istas short story in the meantime?..") so freakin huzzah for that!
It's a bit annoying not to be able to preorder the ebook, but I'm sure you'll remind me closer to the release date, and I'll be just as keen to buy it immediately at that point as I was now

[falnfenix]

hail!

[greyduck.livejournal.com]

Of all the NYCryptid gang you could've picked for a side story, I don't think you could do any better than Istas & Ryan. Swiftly approved! Yay!

[talekyn.livejournal.com]

As you know, any new InCryptid story excites me greatly! Thanks for sharing the news.

[mythos-amante.livejournal.com]

YAY!!!
