Questions About Imprudence Answered

Hello, Gentle Reader, below I answer some frequently asked questions about Imprudence.

Will we get the Audiobook at the same time as the print and ebook?

Did you get it at the same time for Prudence? If yes, then mostly likely yes for Imprudence. If no (waves at the UK) then you are stuck waiting just like last time. I’m given to understand that this is an Audible UK issue.

Will the book/ebook/audiobook release at the same time in the UK, Aus, or other English Language Territory?

It depends. Anything is possible. It’s base your expectations on Prudence, if I were you. I talk about this complicated issue in this Occasional FAQ: Why Do Books Release Later to the UK, Australia & New Zealand?

Is this the last book in the series?

Freaked out by the yellow cover, were you? Rest assured I intend to write more Custard Protocol. Right now I have two more books planned and there is a possibility of one or two after that. However, you will not be getting one next year, 2017. I took a break this year to deal with family, medical, and business stuff which means there is nothing in production for next year. Thus CP3 will have a 2018 release.

Is the Custard Protocol series adult or YA?

Adult. New Adult if you must.

Look, I know some bookstores keep putting Custard Protocol books in YA (if you are at your favorite indie looking for it, try that section) but while Prudence may have passed I doubt Imprudence will. All I have to say to bookstores and libraries is: if you don’t mind your teens getting a SERIOUS education then by all means, shelve it in YA. But you might want to put it into the right section with this book. The gloves, literally and figuratively, are most certainly off!

Can I get a signed copy?

Yes. Here are your options:

  1. You can come meet me on tour and I will sign and dedicate anything you like (including biceps, teapots, and parasols).
  2. You can order signed copies for BOTH Poison or Protect and Imprudence from Mysterious Galaxy and Borderlands. Mysterious Galaxy will have plenty signed books in store and at Comic Con (while supplies last). 858-268-4747
  3. Basically, you can usually order ANY of my books signed from Borderlands, they will ship overseas. They are my local indie and we have a relationship.  888.893.4008 or email ([email protected]) If you call before Weds 07/13 I can also personalize it for you.

Will we see Custard Protocol characters in your novellas?

Not as such.

The inevitable: What about Lyall & Biffy?

OK. So the second Supernatural Society Novella will deal with both them and the doings in London after Imprudence. It’s one of the reasons I’ve been holding off on that novella, Imprudence has to release first and you all need to be caught up. It’s not yet written so I make no promises on a release date, and that’s why it’s not up on the website. But I intend to try to write it when I get back from tour.

What are you working on right now?

An utterly ridiculous, totally raunchy, passion project that is so off brand I’m not sure it will ever see the light of day. If it does, it’ll come with hella warnings, a super sexy cover, and likely a G. Carriger by line. (Yeah, I busted out hella.) If I finish it, I’m most likely to poll the newsletter regarding its fate. So pay attention to the Chirrup if you’re intrigued. But for now, I’m keeping a tight lid on this one. It’s… risky, and filthy, and adorable. But oh my god so much fun!

Soon as I’m back from tour, I switch to the Biffy Lyall reunion. Gotta do some reading first. Of my own books. I know, right? Bah!

And here’s some other stuff I can’t really talk about much here in this blog, but which people may want to read about:

Imprudence ~ Custard Protocol Book the Second

Rue and the crew of the Spotted Custard return from India with revelations that shake the foundations of England’s scientific community. Queen Victoria is not amused, the vampires are tetchy, and something is wrong with the local werewolf pack. To top it all off, Rue’s best friend Primrose keeps getting engaged to the most unacceptable military types.

Rue has family problems as well. Her vampire father is angry, her werewolf father is crazy, and her obstreperous mother is both. Worst of all, Rue’s beginning to suspect what they really are… is frightened.

    I enjoy reading the books — oh, so much — but am annoyed by the lack of adequate copy editing. It started early on IMPRUDENCE. The list of previous books, on the page facing the title page, listed MANNERS AND MUTING. I try to ignore the errors and can usually figure out what should be there, but it is distracting.

      Well, so far that’s the only one anyone has noticed and it happened because they refused to put my YA books in until the last minute, so I never got to proof the “Also By” list. If you notice anything else in this book, please tell me, because I threw a hissy fit after Prudence, so Imprudence should be super clean. If there are legitimate mistakes (as opposed to personal preferences… leave my Oxford comma alone) then I’d like to know. So far, however, the actual text (which is the bit I’m responsible for) has proved clean.
