Seanan is off to begin her convention season! A plea.

[seanan_mcguire]

All right, y'all: shit's about to get real busy from here on in.

March was the first of four months in a row in which I have a book release. I have a Library Gala tonight, and tomorrow I start traveling. My cats are going to kill and eat me, assuming the stress doesn't get there first. I haven't talked about it much, because I'm not in a place to answer questions yet, but I'm prepping to move from California to Washington, with all the house-selling, house-buying, packing-and-cleaning that entails. (Please, please do not ask me about the move. This topic is actively embargoed, unless you are someone I have brought the topic up with directly.)

As you can guess, I'm a little underwater right now. And so I am asking you for a favor.

You know I love interacting with people: I wouldn't maintain this blog if I didn't. LJ is largely abandoned these days, and it's not like I'd be giving up a huge and thriving community (as I would have done if I'd left LJ ten years ago). I adore comments, and enjoy answering them. But--and this is a pretty big "but" here--I am really, really outnumbered.

So please. If you have a question for me, check my website before you ask it. There are FAQs, which are pretty detailed and self-explanatory. There are landing pages for the individual series. If the answer to your question isn't there, there's a good chance I'd be happy to answer it. But please, please, check the FAQs first.

I understand that we all prefer to get our answers in a "one stop shopping" sort of way. I do it too. But I don't have time to answer the comments that aren't answered on my website and keep answering "what is the release date of _______," "will you be at _______," "why aren't you coming to_______," over and over and over again.

I try to keep the website as up-to-date and informative as possible. So many of your answers are there. Please check there first.

Thank you.

Will do. Go forth and do what you have to do, and I hope, have some fun while you're doing it!

I hope everything goes as smoothly for you as it can, on all fronts. Looking forward to you being in Washington, as I'll be able to make it to more of your events, but that's the only comment I'll make on the subject.

Yikes, all those book coming out, conventions and a major move!

Good luck with it all, amazing wonderful Seanan.

Exciting! I'm in Salem. I hope it's a smooth move and no hangups with selling or buying. Am rereading the incryptid books so I can refresh my memory before reading the latest, which is right beside me.

safe travels, best wishes for as low stress as possible, and as a totally random fan, I look forward to supporting you in the coming months with book purchases!

You are going to be victorious and your cats won't eat you!

Wishing you energy, good sleep, good mojo, and strength as you navigate the coming months.

(The latest InCryptid book brought me a lot of joy, btw. Thank you so much for it.)

Good luck with moving! That can be terribly stressful and difficult. I hope everything goes smoothly.

Good luck, take care, and hang in there. We'll be cheering for you like the Aeslin mice cheer for the Price family.

I hope that you survive these coming trials at least as healthy as you currently are, and that it all works out awesomely for you, with a minimum of difficulty, drama, suffering and angst.

And I look forward to hearing how things turn out as and when you have the time for it.

Less seriously: Have fun storming the castleMaginot Line!

Oh, good luck with all of it!!!!!!!

No need to reply. Use the time for something you need.

"I'm prepping to move from California to Washington..."

Hooray for plans! May things go smoothly, and may you and your cats handle everything well.
