thatrcooperYou guys. Honestly. You guys. You wonderful goobs who ran out and read The Firebird and Other Stories right away, and then asked me all the nerdy awesome questions about it! :):):) <3 I hope the love outweighs any trauma. And as always, if you really want to know something, or just want to ALL CAPS TALK ABOUT SIMON'S FASHION CHOICES OR RENNET MY DARLING OR YELL AT ME FOR DESTROYING SOULS, or whatever, feel free to message me. I'm available basically everywhere but Twitter.
In other news, The Winter Prince was accepted. Yaaaay! This is basically a fairy tale, about a prince who gave away his heart to a magical creature, and now has to get it back, or he will freeze to death without its warmth. (It helps that he has the court wizard along, who might be, you know, the kind of person who would make him feel things if he still had a heart.) So that should be out next year. I don't have specific dates yet, but Dancing Lessons should come out in January (ish) and then The Winter Prince in February or March.
No, neither of those stories involve beings. But in a way, they both involve fairy tales, so there is that. (Dancing Lessons is contemporary. About emotionally fragile Chico (Sheeco) with his big brown eyes, and clever, shameless Rafael, the dance teacher who would really, really like to love him.)
I, um, also wrote a short thing to release on Amazon for autumn/Halloween. It's pretty simple. I wanted a fluffy story about pumpkins and crunchy leaves, but what I got is a powerful, lonely witch and this dork who may or may not love him. There might also be a ghost and a talking raven.
There is definitely a ghost and a talking raven.
Yeah. So that will be around in the beginning of October. Probably just on Amazon at first, because they make covers for you, and I can't afford to pay an artist what they are worth.
Anyway. This is mostly for the seven of you who like me. (I feel like Sally Field right now, if that's not too old of a reference to make.) Thank you! You guys are awesome! Your reactions to the Firebird are truly fantastic. <3

Date: 2015-09-30 04:34 am (UTC)Simon! I adore Simon! I am so glad you quoted him. He's so regal and uncertain, and he loves Tank so much.

Date: 2015-10-05 07:38 pm (UTC)Especially loved the Jaguar/Muxie fic, and Rennet is a showstealer - nevermind Weres/Frairies world needs more Imps!! (though it might not survive them) The image of Tank and his cocktail made me grin.
Nice feel of the different time-periods without getting too much into them. Which is to say the focus never left the characters.
Knowing how often you write extra snippets though I feel bound to campaign for a little Deigo pov snippet (I know we're never satisfied) I loved Mikki but it was from his pov and he couldn't see how special he is.

Date: 2015-10-10 05:38 pm (UTC)I can't imagine that, Miki being so shy a person. Could definitely see them in a garden of Miki's own though.
