Sometimes a girl just wants to go dancing.

I love Kelley Armstrong. I mean, I've only met the actual human being Kelley Armstrong a few times, so I guess what I feel for the real person is strong affection tempered with professional respect, but her work? Her work, I love. So when I was offered the opportunity to co-write a story with her, I died a little bit. Of joy.

Announcing the Urban Allies anthology.

Kelley and I co-wrote a story called "Tailed," in which Verity Price meets Elena Michaels while both are investigating strange events in a New York forest. VERITY MEETS ELENA, Y'ALL. My protagonist and her protagonist kicking ass not...well, not together, exactly, but very close to one another. I'm so excited.

The story itself is non-canon, because reasons, but we had a great time writing it, and Sarah is there being snarky, and it's just amazing, all told. I am so pleased.

July!

Super awesome! Now, if Verity could make an appearance in the final season of Bitten....

Gleeful as that would make me, it would mean there could never be an InCryptid TV series, and I want that much, much more.

OMG, I love Kelley Armstrong! AmyCat (book dealer) turned me on to her books years ago. I adore her women of the Otherworld series. (I tried her YAs and did not like them quite so much.) But Elena and Verity together - wow! I have got to buy this when it comes ou.

And it has Carrie Vaughn in it, too - she's another favorite of mine.

So, so happy to look forward to reading two favourite authors' collaboration! (Although now it's got me thinking about what Shaun and Georgia would think of Elena and Clay!)
