A Hallowe'en Announcement of the Most Appalling News

Oct 31, 2012 01:16

I'm sorry. I am truly sorry. I have no idea how this could have happened.

I am the bearer of bad tidings.

It transpires that, for reasons that remain obscure, Thomas Dunne, the respected publishers of books such as Peter Ackroyd's six part History of England, through to striking new works of fiction like David Wong's John Dies at the End has, and I ( Read more... )

Best. Post. Ever.

Oh dear. I'll have to warn everyone I know. Perhaps there's time to flee the country.

Cah! Americans! I tell them the Apocalypse is coming and they're all "Yay!"

Bunch of Pollyannas.

Excellent newes! (I threw in the extra e just because.)

Oh, hi, Gwenda! Thanks! It is pretty cool, isn't it? 2013 is going to be a busy year. I'll be diving into Cabal#4 first thing in January, then (assuming it's a well-behaved novel and takes as long to write as I think it will and not significantly longer) I'll be going more or less straight onto Russalka #3, and then if editing duties don't get in the way, I want a shot at NaNoWriMo, too. It could be a three novel year. Fingers crossed.

Fantastic! Now I can finally read the gosh-darned thing.

(Pardon my language. It gets salty when I'm excited.)

I'm more concerned about things getting salty when you're excited.

stokerbramwell October 31 2012, 19:13:32 UTC

I thank you for my concern, which I can only assume is directed at my blood pressure, and the effects of such excessive saltiness thereon. I assure you that the situation has been taken well in hand, as my associate in the icon would affirm.

Terrible news, indeed. A book tour is called for, although I fear you'll be pilloried by various evangelicals for spreading belief in paganism and witchcraft. Like Cabal, you may be pursued by a torch-wielding mob, although it's more likely to be a posse of big-haired female Republicans armed with leaf blowers. Great to hear another Cabal is on the way. Start writing. Now.

I'm having trouble getting past "leaf blowers." Leaf blowers? Why on Earth would they be armed with leaf blowers?

Re: Another Cabal! mlknchz October 31 2012, 14:35:41 UTC

Supercharged leaf blowers. They can flay the skin off a person in three seconds

Re: Another Cabal! ext_1471554 October 31 2012, 14:51:06 UTC

Everything's bigger in America: there are leaf blowers that'll put you through a cinder block wall.

Grin - and if I haven't gotten my copy of the British edition back from Victoria beforehand, leastwise I'll be able to read it THEN.
