Anniversary!



*throws lots of sparkly confetti*

I have designated -- a little arbitrarily, I confess -- May 9 as the anniversary of Wonder City Stories. And, as you may have guessed from the subject header, today marks THREE YEARS of Wonder City Stories!

So much of this is because of you, my loyal readers -- everyone who has left a comment over the last three years, or spread the word to friends, or written a review has given me that little boost I needed to keep going. Your kindness during my more difficult times has been heartwarming, and your response when I've run particular promotions for donations has sometimes made me very sniffly.

Thank you, particularly, to Leah Morgan for her kind work on wrangling the Wonder City DW into prettier shape and for providing such gorgeous logos and banners for me. Now I just have to get off my duff and back at Project Wonderful to use them!

Thank you all so much for your love and responses over the past 3 years.

Volume 3!



A note about the timeframe of the various volumes:
- Volume 1 started in September 2009, and ended New Year's Eve 2009
- Volume 2 started in January 2010 and ended in June 2010
- Volume 3 starts in Spring 2012

Yes, that means we are jumping ahead almost 2 years in the lives of our favorite characters.

We will also have a brand new POV character added to the mix!

I am planning to post at least the first episode before I run off to WisCon this month. That means that I have to wrap up Zoltan's Interlude pretty quickly.

Zoltan's Interlude!



I very much hope that y'all have been enjoying this peek into our favorite vampire's life and Family. He wanted so much more than a short story, and it has been a very gratifying novella to write. I really want to thank, again, all the generous donors who contributed to the Julia Penelope fundraiser -- you helped her afford her medications and supplements for at least 3 months!

In case you're interested in another type of vampire that pretty well inspired Zoltan's Family, I encourage you to seek out Fledgling by Octavia Butler.

Thank You All For Everything!



As my tiny, not-nearly-enough thank-you, I will be posting the next episode of Zoltan's Interlude this afternoon/tonight, and I think there are, at most, 2 more episodes of Zoltan before we get on to the business of Volume 3.

Volume 3 promises to be a VERY bumpy ride. Please stick with us and continue to spread word of Wonder City. I look forward to your comments (and screams)!

Thank you! I was tempted by little animated GIFs of fireworks, but eschewed.

I'll save them for the fifth anniversary. :)
