Awesome things that are awesome.

So we're once again hard at work on the website -- aren't we always hard at work on the website? -- and I thought it might be a good idea to let people know what there was to experience, see, and enjoy. This is what we call 'making all that work not have been in vain.' I'm really big on work not being in vain. So...

* The Toby Daye landing page is fully functional. This is where you can go to link to any of the existing books, get a series overview, and take a quick peek at any new developments. More specific news relating to any particular book will naturally be on that book's own unique landing page. Speaking of which...

* The Rosemary and Rue landing page is fully up-to-date and shiny, with the book's back cover text, some really exciting blurbs from names you may well recognize, a basic plot summary, and more. And, of course, the pretty, pretty cover art. Nothing makes me happier than the pretty, pretty cover art. Well, except for maybe...

* The art card gallery! (You would normally access this through the 'Extras' drop-down menu.) We've got sixty cards uploaded and annotated so far. Because I have no hobbies. Also proving I have no hobbies...

* The 'With Friends Like These' archive is starting up. 'With Friends Like These' is my comic strip, which I draw because I bore easily. There are only ten strips up so far, but more are coming. (Again, under the 'Extras' menu.)

Big, big thanks to porpentine, who did truly yeoman labors over the weekend to get the gallery code up and working. There are other surprises to find and see, but these are the big ones. I'm thrilled.

Whoa, wait -- you didn't tell me you had cover art for all three! When did those show up? Did you post 'em and I just missed it?

[seanan-mcguire.livejournal.com]

They all showed up at the same time, and I stuck 'em over on the website 'cause I'm stealth. Also because I'm trying to make it clear that no, really, it's really a series without hurting Rosemary at the same time.

Yay! Finally, a WFLT page! Thank you thank you thank you!

[seanan-mcguire.livejournal.com]

You're welcome!

I promise not to put big spoilers anywhere that isn't labeled 'here be big spoilers,' if that's any consolation? But yeah, they're about the fae. I studied folklore, I'm a fairy tale geek, and Toby's world is enormously influenced by that.

Chris McGrath has been a golden god of cover art.

It can be September now, please?

[seanan-mcguire.livejournal.com]

...oh, my, no. There's still so much to do...

[keristor.livejournal.com]

Woo, all three covers! Did I mention that I'm in love with a certain half-elf girl on those covers *g*? And really echoing "it can be September nao plz?" (And then I'll have to wait for the others...)

There's definitely going to be some waiting involved. As for Toby herself, well, she's a real sweetheart...as long as you don't get on her nerves.
