In the Demon Cycle books, where day and night is often the difference between life and death, Solstice—both summer and winter—is a major holiday. To mark the event last year, I posted a free story, Holiday in Tibbet’s Brook, starring Arlen, Renna, and the rest of the Tibbet’s cast. If you didn’t get a chance to read it last year, here it is again:

Check your wards tonight and stay safe!

As you may already know, Patrick Rothfuss‘s charity Worldbuilders tends to do some pretty awesome things to raise money for Heifer International. Like many authors, I try to do something special every year to help out. Sometimes I have helped match donations, or auctioned off a seat at the annual Author D&D game, or worn a Hawaiian shirt. And always, I send signed books.
This year, however, I got roped into something extra special. My buddy Myke Cole called and said, “Hey, I promised Pat I’d shave my head as an act of whimsy if the fundraiser meets the $25,000 mark. Will you do the honors?”
“Sure,” I said, “if I can do it with a straight razor.”
“Er,” Myke said. “Have you ever used a straight razor?”
“Nope,” I said. “But I saw Bugs Bunny do it a bunch of times. How hard can it be?”
The result was frightening and hilarious. Pat actually called to try and talk us out of it. I dare you to watch the video and not LOL:
You can check out Pat’s side of the story on his blog.
If you haven’t already, go ahead and check out Worldbuilders right now. There are a lot of amazing opportunities to make a difference this holiday season.
Also, we will be announcing the winner for the clay demon contest sometime next week, so check back soon!

Steph from Fantasy Faction posted her review of The Daylight War last week. She delves deep into her favorite characters and plot lines, remarking on how the characters have changed and evolved since the last book and how she feels about it.
We waited with baited breath for the third installment of Brett’s Demon Cycle, and true to form he rewarded his fans generously for their patience. The Daylight War goes above and beyond the brilliance of the first two books in style, character and worldbuilding, action, suspense…basically all the elements that make a book worth reading over and over again.
Awesome. Thanks for posting, Steph!
In other news, thank you to everyone who contributed to the Clay Demon Contest. The winner has been chosen and will be announced tomorrow. Read all the incredible entries here and on Facebook.
