And then I saw that Melissa Fumero had been cast as Amy Santiago on Brooklyn Nine-Nine, and I felt my guts roll up into my throat and try to escape out of my mouth. Omgomgomgomg that’s it then. There’s no way in hell a major network is gonna cast two Latina actresses in such a tight ensemble show I AM SCREWED.
And then next day my agents called and told me I’d booked it.

Hey Meagan! I was wondering when I would get to read This Night So Dark? I'm searching iBooks and Kindle, but it isn't available in Australia yet. Do you know when we can get it? Will it be released online? Thank you :D
The short answer: YES! It will be available in Australia—Allen & Unwin, our awesome publisher there, is getting it all set up as we speak. The pre-order links specific to Australia will go up on the e-short website as soon as we’ve got them. It may come out a few days after the US version, but it will go up as soon as humanly possible, we promise!
(And note that we’re going to hopefully have iBooks and Kobo links on that site too, as soon as we get them from those stores!)
And for everyone else...
