The image above was sent to me by Thais, one of my Brazilian readers!!
Wow, I just realized it's been two weeks since my last blog post, and it's entirely due to the whole mouth trauma thing that's been going on (braces, bone removal, bone grafting, gum stippling, gum suturing--feeling queasy yet??!), and since it's best not to blog while under the influence of pain meds, well, I figured a little blog silence was in order!
But even though it's not over yet (the stitches don't come out for another 2 weeks and my cheeks still look as though I'm storing nuts for the winter!), I thought I'd drop in long enough to say THANKS for all of your comments and support! This year has exceeded all of my writerly dreams and I owe it all to YOU!!!
Also, I wanted to wish you all a warm and wonderful holiday and all good things in the New Year!!
Oh, and just so you know, I'm over at Living Your Five today talking about how I'm living my Holiday Five--you can read all about it HERE!
And, funnily enough, just after I made my donation to Heifer International this morning, I read literary agent, Nathan Bransford's blog and saw that he is donating $1 to Heifer International for every comment left at his blog (up to $1000!!!!), so hurry on over and leave your comment HERE!
Okay, back to the couch for another round of HGTV and a warm compress!!
Hope your day is pure magick!

This new year And so many more will bring more blessings to you and your family. with so much respect for you Mrs. Alyson Noel. Amber M an as always your twin and new shadow Alyson. if nothing more you changed her life this year and mine. can't thank you enough for all you have done and are doing in the lives of your readers.

Hi :D
I just wanted to say that I've been watching your blog for a while now,and it is so amazing.
I have never commented on it before now though.
But I totally love it, and I love your books, and I can't wait until we get to see the cover on dark flame!
Happy Holidays from Norway.

World peace? Hm, that's good too! lol

Hi Susanne! Thanks for stopping by all the way from Norway!! Always wanted to go there--hopefully someday! :)
tnicole1976- I have an open bite, which means my top front teeth don't touch my bottom front teeth. And yeah, it really hurts to talk, so my husband is getting a nice little break! :) I wish you all the best with your underbite--the end result will be worth it!!
Thanks, Gracie!! Hope your holiday is happy! :)
Blanca- You too!! :)

Hi, I've just discovered your blog and your books! I'm off to the book shop in the next couple of days to purchase! I've subscribed and I look forward to reading about your adventures in publishing. My own first novel (supernatural fiction) is being considered by an agent at the moment, so fingers crossed!
Hi Alyson !
I'm here again, haha
Today I want to show you a text that I did thinking in Summerland.
http://theuniverseconspires.blogspot.com/2009/12/summerland.html
I hope you like it (:
have a good new year ♥
That friendship pendant was soo beautiful.. i want to find some really nice ones myslef... i hope my comment helps with the donation! Tty soon ms. Noel =)
Onesoccernine- Aw, dang--I'm not at home and I don't have a copy of Shadowland with me . . . :(
Tina- That is AWESOME--my fingers are crossed for you!! :)
Beatriz- I LOVE it!! Thank you so much for sharing it with me! :)
BrooklynzAngel- I know--aren't they cool!! :)
Oh, I hope you get to feeling better soon!
I'm a huge fan of your books, especially the Immortals series, and I also like to do photomanipulations in my spare time, so I decided to do a small tribute to one of my favorite authors. ^^
click for my depiction of summerland.
I was really looking forward to Shadowland after Blue moon was such a let down. I was hoping that Ever and Damen could finally be together. But we are left in the same place as the first book. They are unable to truly be a couple. There is no closure, nothing new about this book. It makes me not want to read the next one, because it will probably end the exact same way. It was a giant let down at the end to know they still had to search for an antidote, and why would she trust that Roman would give her the real thing?
Hi Jordyn-- OMG--that is sooo beautiful!! Do you mind if I post that here on my blog? I love to share reader art!
Thanks so very much!
:)
Alyson
Dear Anonymous-
Well, you are certainly entitled to your opinion and while I'm sorry you feel that way, I'm not going to try to change your mind.
But I will say that a lot of extremely important information was revealed in Shadowland--among them being the discovery of the Shadowland and what becomes of an immortal's soul is actually a very big deal and will be very important in future books. As well as the discovery of Jude--that he & Ever have a past that goes way back--one that Damen knew about but didn't share with Ever--it's kind of a big deal . . .
To me, finding an antidote is only a part of the big journey that the two soul mates are on--but it's not the journey itself--not by a long shot. . .
Thanks for stopping by--and I wish you all the best!
Alyson
Keep working ,great job!
Hi, Alyson. News from a stranger! You replied to my comment so nicely that I wanted to tell you. The first agent I queried said no yesterday. I sent it straight back out so onward and upward!
And! I bought Evermore today! So looking forward to it!
Hi Tina- Congratulations--that rejection means you are well on your way since they're definitely part of the writing process (even though they kinda suck!)!!! We all get them though-I know I certainly racked up my share--so just keep forging ahead toward your dream--I wish you all the best!
:)
