And in Magical Squirrel News— · 4:07pm Nov 19th, 2014
It occurred to me:
That the middle of November is usually when the annual volume of the Sword and Sorceress anthology appears. I haven't gotten my contributor copy yet, but volume 29 is indeed now available for those who have perhaps been following my stories about Cluny, the Sorceress Squirrel.
If you haven't been following my stories about Cluny, the Sorceress Squirrel, let me offer you the first two of them free of charge. The first, "Familiars," was originally published in volume 19 of Sword and Sorceress back in 2002, and "Immolation," the second in the sequence—I kinda went back and filled this one in—showed up last year in an anthology called What Happens Next from Furplanet.
The other Cluny stories are currently only available in volumes 23 through 28 of Sword and Sorceress, but my plan—and the reason I'm bringing this up in a post here—is to take the first eight stories, write a bunch of linking material, and turn them into a novel chronicling Cluny's first year studying to be a familiar at Huxley College. This means my contributions around here are likely to be a little thin on the ground for a couple months. I've got some poems I'm working on for the collection—including my attempt to write one about Maud—but there's likely to be a paucity of new Pony fiction under the AugieDog name till at least the end of the year and possibly on into February of next year.
I'll still be lumbering around in the background, though, reading and commenting on stuff as well as pre-reading over at Equestria Daily. But I've got squirrels in my skull, and typing's the only one way I know of to get 'em out!

Consider this an intended pre-order for whenever you have the novel ready.
At least she's not a rat...

Naw. That would be my novel Rat's Reputation, the sequel to The Blood Jaguar, scheduled for publication in late January from Sofawolf Books...

I read those two chapters and they were quite entertaining. I look forward to seeing an entire book! Be sure to let us know when it's available.
