msagaraI've discovered one unfortunate thing about writing, or attempting to write, two novels concurrently. I'm incapable of writing anything else. I finish writing for the day, and any creativity, any wit, and most of my outrage (okay that last might be a bit of an overstatement), has evaporated, leaving me strangely silent. This would be why I have been absent; I stare at the screen and cannot think of one interesting thing to say.
But! .
Cast in Fury made the extended NYT trade paperback fiction list for the 19th of October. My editor emailed me with the news on Thursday. I work at the store on Friday, and when I got home from work, I discovered these:
Sent by my editor and Tracey Langmiur, from Luna, to help celebrate this fact. They are really very nice, in that picture-doesn't-do-them-justice way.

Date: 2008-10-12 07:46 pm (UTC)In the interim, I've been reading The Hidden City and really enjoying it! The only thing that is bugging me is that I can't remember who is in Jewel's den by the end of the Sun Sword series. So, rather than wait until House Name is released (me, patient....well, usually :) I'm going to re-read Hunter's Death. I know, cheating, but...

Re: Congrats
Date: 2008-10-12 08:07 pm (UTC)I don't think the list is on-line, yet -- I could be wrong (my husband was trying to find it via the usual google).

Date: 2008-10-13 03:07 am (UTC)I saw the books in the store the other day... I sometimes wish Being Broke was a person so I could slap them around a bit.

Date: 2008-10-13 04:32 am (UTC)I made out with my copy when it arrived. Amazon came through and sent it early, but only after I spent the week prior calling every bookstore in the area looking for early copies. ;)

Date: 2008-10-14 03:11 am (UTC)I'll post as soon as I have any news, though!
YAY!!!
Date: 2008-10-14 11:13 am (UTC)You may not post often, but at least you post with great news!
I already said I loved the book (which is not surprising given how weighted my scale is wrt your books), but it definitely worked for me. I really like that we are seeing deep into the cultural ethos of each species, and I am very excited about what is coming. I know that the timeline is incredibly short from book one to book four, but I like that even though it has been only a few months, Kaylin is definitely maturing. It wouldn't feel authentic to me if she changed too much, too quickly, but I think you are doing a great job of letting her grow while keeping her true to herself.
Enough. Congratulations again, and I hope to get my book signed soon. I need a complete set again; that was nice.
Michael
More Elantra Books...Yes!!!!!!!!!!!
