So This Arrived in Today's Mail...
Yes, it's a copy of WHO BURIES THE DEAD, hot off the press.This time of year is always oddly unsettling because I'm dealing with three Sebastian books at once. This morning, I was busy plotting out Book # 12 (Where the Dead Lie), when my editor called to talk about the edits and cover conference for Book #11 (When Falcons Fall). Then the doorbell rings and it's the postman with boxes and boxes of #10, Who Buries the Dead, which is scheduled to be released the first Tuesday of next month.
I tend to get a little confused.
The good news is that my editor loves When Falcons Fall. She's the first person apart from my husband, Steve, who has read it, and he thinks it's the best book in the series so far (I think my own favorite is still Why Mermaids Sing....). But my editor agrees with him, so maybe he was on to something. And I'm sorry if that comes off sounding like teasing since y'all won't be seeing that book for another thirteen months, but it's such a wonderful feeling to know that the book works, and the Powers That Be are happy, and I'm not looking at a huge rewrite (which would be difficult given that I am gearing up to go on tour for Who Buries the Dead).
On other fronts, it's been so cold that we haven't been able to deal with our bee problem yet. And it's Mardi Gras time here in New Orleans again, so you know what that means.

An aside...the entire series is on my bookshelf, but I'm one of those 'don't like the spin creased type people' (but I also enjoy a "well luv'd book," go figure, lol). Now I've also requested the entire series at my local library in ebooks so I can continue reading them on my Kindle. Something is wrong with me, lol. Not one of your books on ebooks, thought that was just wrong ;-)

Oh, C.S., how you TEASE US!!!!!! Showing a picture of the new Who Buries the Dead coming out March 3, and telling us you have "boxes and boxes" of them!!!! ;-)
That's OK, we'll just keep obsessing about March 3, March 3, March 3 !!!!! to get our hands on the new Sebastian St. Cyr :-) Did I mention the March 3 release date???
I've very much looking forward to the change of scene for the new book. The London books are amazing, but this sounds like refreshing - something new for St. Cyr & Hero.
Best of luck on your Who Buries the Dead book tour!

I am ecstatic to begin reading more of these!
