One week to SPARROW HILL ROAD.

One week from today, Sparrow Hill Road will be on bookstore shelves everywhere, and you will finally be able to learn the tale of Rose Marshall as she always intended it to be told.

According to my file dates, "Pretty Little Dead Girl," the song that introduced most people to Rose, was written on December 17th, 2004. The first story appeared in

*squee* I won an ARC at the Incryptid party, and am trying to convince the DM of my weekly Car Wars game to get a copy so we can work elements into our game. So excited for the release party - me and a bunch of friends are coming, and we can't wait!

Oh, that should be awesome!

Really, both Newsflesh and Sparrow Hill Road would work wonderfully in Car Wars, and I fully intend to make the case for that when we game this weekend. My girlfriend just finished Newsflesh - I think she will back me up on this.

I'm planning to go to the Brick-and-mortar store and buy a copy or three that first week. I've been looking forward to these versions for a while now.

(Yes, it was tempting to save a copy of the original versions, since they WERE enjoyable reads on The Edge Of Propinquity and I also enjoy the "Where did they come from" game, seeing the evolution through various stages. But I honored your request that we not do that, and shortly I'll have the Improved Versions in my hot little hands, and I know the wait will have been worth it.)

Thank you so much for honoring my request. Those original stories include some things that are no longer canon.

Amazon says my copy, which I pre-ordered way back last October, will be delivered sometime between May 9 and May 13. It just ocurred to me that, even though I paid for it myself, I could consider it my Mother's Day present.

I'm really looking forward to getting to know Rose better!

Happy Mother's Day!

Thank you! My husband works on Sundays, and never gets home until well after midnight. But my son and his wife are plotting something for me on Mother's Day - I hope they've already made reservations, if they're going to take me to the Japanese restaurant that serves eleven kinds of shochu! (Although I wouldn't mind if my son simply cooks dinner here, because he's a damn good cook, if I do say so myself.),br>

Looking forward to seeing the changes you've made to Rose's story, I really liked the original versions. And a whole new story as well!

[seanan_mcguire]

More than one!
