Pics! A Video! An Interview! Giveaways! The UK!

Hey Everyone-

Just wanted to share some pics of the Portland, Oregon signing with you that were just sent to me from Little Shelf who blogged about the signing HERE and she's giving away a signed copy of SHADOWLAND HERE!!

Oh, and she also did a video of me reading part of Chapter 1, below:

And speaking of giveaways . . .

Kristina over at World of Books is giving away a signed copy of the UK version of EVERMORE--click HERE for your chance to win!

Also, I have an interview up over at My Bookish Ways & she's giving away an ARC of SHIMMER (book 2 in the RILEY BLOOM series) HERE!

And, speaking of the RILEY BLOOM series, I just got a sneak peek at the WHISPER cover (in stores 04.24.12!) and I have to say it's just as pretty as the DREAMLAND (09.13.11) cover below--(Angela Goddard is a Cover Goddess!) I can't wait to share it with you!

And speaking of covers, have you seen the UK cover for EVERLASTING?? It's amazing!

In fact, it's so amazing it must be shown in 4 parts:

Cover Closed

Cover Lifted

Cover open

Full cover

At the moment, I'm sequestered away on a writer's retreat, trying to make some major progress on book 1 in my new SOUL SEEKERS series (in stores May 2012!) before I head off on my UK tour in July. You can see a brief outline of UK signing schedule HERE (more details to come!) and keep up with all the UK info by visiting the UK website HERE & the UK Facebook page HERE!

That's all for now--hope you're all enjoying the Father's Day weekend!

I always say I have the BEST READERS EVER -- and once again, you proved it true!!

Today I'll be signing in Philadelphia, PA and I'd love to see you there!

EVERLASTING in Stores Tomorrow!!!

Hey Everyone-

It's almost here!! Release day for EVERLASTING is tomorrow, Tuesday, June 7 and I'll be in Atlanta, the first stop on the EVERLASTING tour, where I'll be signing hot-off-the-press copies!

RT Magazine gave it 4 Stars, saying:

"Noël's long-awaited conclusion to her Immortals series delivers, with a rich and satisfying plot, a complete ending and a healthy mix of wisdom and magic. Fans will be pleased with how well Noël ties up all the loose ends but also gives the book its own exciting plot. You'll be sad to see the series end, but satisfied with its conclusion."

I know a few of you have managed to find early copies, and I want to thank you for the kind words you shared with me--and also for keeping your posts spoiler free! :)

Writing this series has been the highlight of my career, and I just want to THANK ALL OF YOU for joining me on Ever & Damen's journey!

Hope to see you on one of the tour stops listed below!
