Closer Magazine!

Hey Everyone-

Well, I'm gearing up to start work on ECHO, book 2 in my new SOUL SEEKERS series- (I just finished book 1, FATED, which will be in stores on 05.22.12- see the awesome cover in the blog post below!)- but wanted to take a few moments to share a few things:

Last December while on book tour in Paris, I did this interview for Closer magazine (it's like People only in French), and since it was just sent to me, I wanted to share it with you!

Also, we've been working on it for a while now, and I'm happy to say that the International Immortals page is now up, featuring covers and links from all over the globe! You can see it HERE!

And, for those of you in the Chicago area, I'll be heading your way next April for the RT convention. Last year the Teen Day in L.A. was amazing--and this year's is gearing up to be just as good if not better--so I really hope to see you there! To see my scheduled events, click HERE!

Also, the Pen Fatale Tour made Amazon's Omnivoracious Blog! To read it: click HERE! To see my Q&A where I talk about my favorite tour moment, favorite literary character, and favorite shoes--click HERE!

And last but not least, I'm thrilled to announce that the SOUL SEEKERS series has sold translation rights to the UK & Germany . . .with more to come!

Have a great day, all!

Roman leans in the doorway and laughs, beckoning me near.

And despite everything I know about good and evil, right and wrong, immortals and rogues, I step forward. My gaze fixed on Roman--gorgeous, glorious Roman. He's all I can see. All that I need.

"Always knew you'd come around." He grins, gaze slowly taking me in as he buries his fingers in my tangle of hair. "Welcome to the dark side, Ever. I think you'll be quite happy here."

DARK FLAME Review!!

Just 4 more days until DARK FLAME is in stores, and I just came across a really great review from A GOOD ADDICTION, which reads in part:

"Dark Flame is the best installment in this series yet, ending in a very shocking way that leaves high promise for the next book. The readers’ appetite will be whetted for more, the constant addictive craving Noel seems to infuse in every book continuing to guarantee her strong readership. The characters are advanced and developed, the plot progressed and the continued possibilities opened. Numerous new questions and intrigues spark, and the overall feelings toward certain characters shift in a constant flow. Noel includes plenty of surprising twists, unexpected tie ins and histories, and never lets the reader know what else she has planned. The predictability present at the beginning of the series is gone, leaving only a burning need for more."--A Good Addiction

If you want to read more, the full review is HERE, and she was very careful not to give away any spoilers which I really appreciate!

Have a good day everyone!

Dark Flame Excerpt #8!

Smiling as I pull him back to me, back to that blazing red field of that long-ago day.

Okay, back to the deadline crunch for me!

Have a great day everyone!

Yesterday!

So yesterday's book signing was, in a word, phenomenal.

Truly.

I walked in at 6:00 PM on the dot (I usually strive to be 10 minutes early but got caught up in the usual Friday traffic snarl--I curse you 5 freeway!) and what I saw left me completely gobsmacked!!

There was a line!! 

A big, huge, line that wrapped around all the way to the Starbucks! 

And from what I heard, people started forming that line an hour before the event, and the line kept replenishing for well over an hour!!  The last time I had a line like that was at an ALA conference, though I should mention that the books I was signing were also being given away for free. Free books tend to attract a crowd. But that was not the case last night. Nope. You guys came out from all over the place, one woman even took the day off work so she could drive the three and a half hours from Ventura to Orange just to have her copies of EVERMORE & BLUE MOON signed!! To say I was touched is putting it mildly. The Frenetic Reader was there, along with Amaze of Books, and a couple more of their blogger friends, and I had such a blast signing books for an hour and a half straight and talking with all of you--I swear I have the best readers an author could ask for!

And, if that wasn't enough, I also got a nice mention in yesterday's San Francisco Chronicle (yup, yesterday was a great day!), you can see it HERE.

But maybe it's best summed up HERE.

Okay, back to work on UNTITLED IMMORTALS #4 (yup, still calling it that!)!

Have a great day everyone!

Alyson
