I noted earlier that the book was canceled, though not every site carried that update &#8212; I think Goodreads was still insisting it was coming out, despite reality&#8217;s insistence otherwise. Which suggests we should be keeping an eye on Goodreads, because it may have gained sentience. I&#8217;m just saying. Weaponized book reviews? THAT SHIT IS COMING. Just you watch.<\/p>\n<p>Anyway.<\/p>\n<p>So, Mookie Pearl is dead.<\/p>\n<p>But long live Mookie Pearl.<\/p>\n<p>Because, as it turns out, I am once again in possession of those rights.<\/p>\n<p>Which means, Mookie Pearl is getting a resurrection.<\/p>\n<p>Lightning and fire and a smudge of the ol&#8217; Blue Blazes around the temples.

I think given the tenor of the book, it makes sense to aim for Halloween &#8212; so, expect a release in the weeks leading up to everyone&#8217;s favorite spookypants holiday.<\/p>\n<p>Plus, that&#8217;ll give me time to spit-and-polish the sequel to my heart&#8217;s delight.<\/p>\n<p>(This means I&#8217;ll be releasing both\u00a0<strong>Blue Blazes<\/strong> and <b>Hellsblood Bride<\/b> on one day.)<\/p>\n<p>You can, of course, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.tor.com\/stories\/2013\/04\/the-blue-blazes-excerpt\" target=\"_blank\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>read the opening chapter<\/strong><\/span><\/a>\u00a0from The Blue Blazes to get a taste.<\/p>\n<p>And then you have to wait.<\/p>\n<p>But soon!
