Good morning happy people!
Today is Monday and tomorrow is Tuesday and that means tomorrow is THAT AIN'T WITCHCRAFT day!
THE BEST OF ALL POSSIBLE DAYS!
Let us go back, back, back in time, to 2011, when I said to my agent that I loved the Toby Daye books and never wanted to stop writing them, but wanted to do something else, too, to keep me from getting burnt out on her.
My agent, who likes money and likes me being reasonably happy, asked what I was thinking. And I said, well. It's a story about a family of former monster-hunters who changed their tune and now protect the things they used to persecute. Also our first narrator's a ballroom dancer.
SOMEHOW I GOT PEOPLE TO LISTEN TO ME.
I DON'T KNOW HOW.
IT'S VERY CONFUSING.
InCryptid began with DISCOUNT ARMAGEDDON, narrated by Verity Price, who told us about her life, her world, and her siblings, Alex and Antimony. She continued with MIDNIGHT BLUE-LIGHT SPECIAL...and then Alex took over.
Because see, the secret strength of this series--the reason I can never burn out on it--is that it changes narrators every few books. Alex narrated two books, Verity came back for a third...and then Antimony took over.
Antimony, my angry, nerdy, pyrokinetic roller derby girl. I could spend a dozen books with her. I've managed to get three. (Art by @amymebberson.)
MAGIC FOR NOTHING brought Annie into closer contact with the Covenant of St. George than any of her family in decades.
TRICKS FOR FREE let us take a Lowryland vacation, and learn more about the dread threat of the crossroads.
And now, THAT AIN'T WITCHCRAFT.
Shit's goin' down.
In THAT AIN'T WITCHCRAFT, Annie must deal with the consequences of her own actions, and the costs of the ground she's been able to gain. The world is going to change forever because of what she does in this book. You should be there.
There's a novella at the back! "Measure of a Monster" takes us to Ohio to check in with Alex, Shelby...and Sarah, who's been getting better. A little bit at a time.
THAT AIN'T WITCHCRAFT comes out tomorrow, and I, and my cats, would really, really appreciate it if you'd pick up a copy for your enjoyment and edification, and so I can convince my publisher to let me keep going.
Oh!

People are asking, and we've already let this slip (plus it's listed at the front of THAT AIN'T WITCHCRAFT, so...): The next book, IMAGINARY NUMBERS, has been commissioned and finished, and focuses on Sarah Zellaby.
