It's Halloween night, and the children are prowling, knocking on doors and making their rounds...

...moaning white sheets and werewolves a'howling, scaring themselves with their sounds.

This is the shape of my 2014, with travel dates and everything. Beautiful travel dates. Hope to see you in the months to come! I was going to hold off on this until after Tuesday, but then there were some fun changes (remember, these are as much for me as they are for you).

No fixed deadline/being written/unsold:

The Best Thing
"The Star of New Mexico"
"White as a Raven's Wing"
"Turn the Year Around"
"Decay"
"Fiber"
"Carry Me Home"
"Pixie Season"
"These Antique Fables"
"All the Pretty Little Horses"
Echo
Chaos Choreography
Chimera

Again, to clarify some recent confusion: some things, especially novel-length things, may appear more than once, on both the "publication date" and "being written" lists. This is because the "being written" list is an aggregate, which also includes "no fixed deadline" (IE, being written on spec or for the website) and "unsold" (IE, being written because I can). So new books will appear there for a long time before they vanish, since books take a long time to write, but may also have pub dates listed higher up.

Look at that list. It's so shiny!

Oh, you got me horrible tapeworm stories for my birthday! You're so sweet.

[seanan-mcguire.livejournal.com]

Never say that I don't love you.

[anna-en-route.livejournal.com]

As always you create an amazing amount of quality stuff, thank you!

Half off Ragnarok just showed up on Audible as coming out in June (of course it's showing up as one minute long but I'm hoping the date at least is accurate).

[seanan-mcguire.livejournal.com]

Yay!

[ladymurmur.livejournal.com]

There are more publications forthcoming (with dates!) than there are months left in the year.
A very happy turn of events, indeed! :-)

[seanan-mcguire.livejournal.com]

Hee yay.

Oooooh, that's a very sparkly shiny list indeed, Seanan!

Um. Errr. [small wee voice] My pre-ordered copy of Sparrow Hill Road came in the mail from B&N today. I am being good; I put it on the shelf to save for the actual release date. :)

Don't worry, I have a stack of library books to keep me busy until then, but still, it was quite the surprise. Also don't worry, even if I break down and start reading tonight, I will behave myself and withhold all online commentary until Tuesday. Because I am a grownup and I know the rules. Or I don't want you to send Some Eldritch Thing to bite me. Or something like that.

Once it's in hand, there's no reason to wait. I do appreciate you waiting until it's officially out to comment about it, just because I'm not braced yet. But really, once they send it to you, there's nothing to be done.
