Seanan McGuire is a California-based author with a strong penchant for travel and can regularly be found just about anyplace capable of supporting human life (as well as a few places that probably aren’t). Early exposure to a vast number of books left her with a lifelong affection for the written word, and led, perhaps inevitably, to her writing books of her own, starting somewhere around the age of eleven. The October Daye novels are her first urban fantasy series, and the InCryptid novels are her second series, both published by DAW and bother of which have put her in the New York Times bestseller list. Seanan was the winner of the 2010 John W. Campbell Award for Best New Writer; Rosemary and Rue, the first novel in the October Daye series, was named one of the Top 20 Paranormal Fantasy Novels of the Past Decade; and her novel Feed, written under the name Mira Grant, was named as one of Publishers Weekly's Best Books of 2010. She also won a Hugo for her podcast, and is the first person to be nominated for five Hugo Awards in a single year. You can visit her at www.seananmcguire.com.
Praise for the October Daye series:
“October Daye is as gritty and damaged a heroine as Kinsey Millhone
or Kay Scarpetta.... Toby’s nocturnal existence is full of the kind
of shadows that keep the pages turning. Changelings, like all
faerie folk, live long; may McGuire and these novels do the same.”
—The A.V. Club
"This newest installment in McGuire’s October Daye series is
fast-paced, without ever being frantic, with excellent
characterization.... McGuire is a dab hand at dialogue, and the
bantering between Toby and everyone -- especially Tybalt -- is one
of the highlights of the book." —RT Book Reviews
"McGuire applies a hard-boiled mentality and a keen appreciation
for mythology to a blend of politics, magic, and romance to make
this the most entertaining series installment to date." —Publishers
Weekly
"The October Daye series is one of those delicious worlds that
becomes more and more beloved with each visit, and Ashes of Honor
is my favorite of this series to date." —All Things Urban
Fantasy
"With Ashes of Honor, McGuire has crafted a deeply personal and
intense story that will keep you on the edge, hoping to be pushed
over. In my opinion, it is, hands down, the best Toby to date."
—The Ranting Dragon
"The October Daye series has become on of my favorites, and it just
keeps getting better and better." —Fantasy Book Cafe
"Swearing! Running! Sexy times! Leather jackets and folklore and
secret offspring and tales of lost love. It’s all so much fun." —SF
Signal
"Why are you wasting time reading my rhapsodic review? Just go get
the book, and see for yourself, if you’ve been following the series
right along. If not, go get all six books.... If you love well
written urban fantasy, with unique and interesting characters, you
won’t be disappointed." —Tome Tender
