EVERLASTING Sneak Peek, Chapters 3 & 4!!!!

in stores 06.07.11!

Just 3 more weeks until EVERLASTING, the 6th & final installment in THE IMMORTALS series is released, but all you have to do to get as sneak peek at chapters 1 - 4, is become a fan of THE IMMORTALS facebook page, by clicking HERE!

Speaking of EVERLASTING, 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."

SHIMMER!!!

Hey Everyone-

Today is the official release day for SHIMMER, and I couldn't be more excited!

SHIMMER is the second book in the Riley Bloom series (DREAMLAND, book 3, will be in stores on 09.13.11!), where Riley, Buttercup, and Bodhi are enjoying a well-deserved vacation on St. John, Virgin Island, when Riley comes across a young ghost named Rebecca, and soon learns Rebecca's not at all what she sees. The daughter of a former plantation owner, she is furious about being murdered during a slave revolt in 1733. Mired in her own anger, Rebecca is keeping the ghosts who died along with her trapped in their worst memories, and it's up to Riley to help Rebecca without losing herself to her own nightmarish memories . . .

Early reviews are starting to come in, and here's what people are saying:

“There's just something about Riley that I absolutely love! She's spunky, sassy, funny and even though she's dead, she's so full of life . . . Although these books are mid-grade books, they can easily be enjoyed by adults as well. Riley shines! She is a superstar! I'm intrigued by the thought of the Here & Now and I can't help but want to see what adventure Riley will find herself in next.” 4 Stars, Bookwormygirl

***

“Shimmer is a fast, fun and intriguing read. An excellent installment in the series . . . I look forward to see how things turn out in the next book.”—Anna’s Book Blog

***

Just like the first book in the series, RADIANCE-- SHIMMER was a blast to write! Riley is one of my favorite characters to spend time with as she's so spunky and sassy, but also has a really soft vulnerability about her as well--she's a bundle of contradictions, for sure!

I'll be celebrating SHIMMER's release with a two signings this week, and I really hope to see you at one of the stops!

On Tuesday, March 15, I'll be here:

Tuesday, March 15, 6:00 PM

Have a great day, everyone!

Enchantment!!!

Lots to catch up on--but first, I'd live to give a big, huge, sparkly THANKS to all of you who showed such enthusiasm and support for NIGHT STAR's release day! Whether you posted to my blog, twittered, facebooked, myspaced, or made it out to the signing--I just want you to know how much I appreciate all of you!! Thanks for making my release day so special!!

The photo above was taken at the signing, just moments after Birgit gave me her beautiful rendition of "Enchantment" the painting Damen made of Ever when they snuck into the Getty Museum in SHADOWLAND!

It was one of my favorite scenes to write, and I have to say that Birgit really nailed it--this is so much like the painting I imagined--I was stunned! It is just so beautiful!!

Oh, and speaking of, there's a very good chance you will see a reference to "Enchantment" in a future IMMORTALS book . . . just sayin' . . .

Okay, so the signing was a blast--you were all so nice and sweet and asked such great questions--and I want to give a special shout-out to Shay, the B&N CRM who invited me to sign in her awesome store!!

More signing pics:

Me & the beautiful & talented Birgit!

Me, Renee, & the adorable Grace!!

Me & Carlos!!

Signing!!

Thanks again, everyone!!

Smart Chicks, London, Frankfurt, & More!

Playing a little game of catch up here after two weeks away and wanted to let you know that the first chapter of NIGHT STAR as well as the title of the 6th and final Immortals book will be sent to all those who subscribe at The Immortals site HERE!

Also, for my UK readers who've been asking, I just learned that RADIANCE is coming to your shores on 02.04.11, with SHIMMER to follow on 08.05.11!

And speaking of the UK, I'll be in London next week signing books at the Wimbledon Bookfest and giving various radio interviews before I'm off to the Frankfurt Book Fair on Wednesday--it's been ages since I was last there and I seriously can't wait to see all of you!

Oh, and a brand-spanking-new Immortals UK Facebook page just went up--you can join by clicking HERE!

Also, for my friends in Chile, a new Chilean Immortals site is up--you can see it by clicking HERE!

And speaking of France (we weren't but please try to pretend that we were), below is the French Cover of SHADOWLAND which hits stores in October!

And I'm also thrilled to announce that French translation rights for SAVING ZOE, KISS & BLOG, CRUEL SUMMER, LAGUNA COVE, & FAKING 19 have been sold as well! Does this mean a Parisian signing might be in the works????

Speaking of covers--below are the Slovenian covers for EVERMORE, BLUE MOON, & SHADOWLAND (in that order)!

And now, I'll leave you to watch a hilarious reenactment of SHADOWLAND that aired at the Teen Read Awards in Toronto--just click HERE to see it!

Have a great day everyone!

Danke Schoen!!

Just wanted to say a bright and shiny "Danke Schoen" to all of my readers in Germany for putting SHADOWLAND (aka- DAS DUNKLE FEUER) on the German Bestsellers lists!!!

Thanks to all of you who bought it--I couldn't do it without you!!

:)

Oh, and if you haven't checked out the German website yet, be sure to do so by clicking HERE it's awesome!

Have a great day everyone!

The Soul Seekers!!!

Wow, I feel like I've been waiting forever to announce this (probably because I have!), but the details on my next new YA series, THE SOUL SEEKERS, can be found HERE!

For the click shy among you, the new series will take place in the Southwest and it's about a sixteen year old girl who is able to walk among the Underworld, the Upperworld, and the dead.

I will begin research/writing the first book sometime this winter (must finish UNTITLED IMMORTALS #6 first!), and it will be in stores probably sometime around early 2012.

And I have to add that I'm especially happy that I'll continue to work with my awesome editor, Rose Hilliard, and my lovely publisher, St. Martin's Press--I've been with them since my debut novel, FAKING 19, way back in 2005, and really appreciate the way they've stuck by me.

In other news, in just a little over a month now RADIANCE will be in stores on 08.31.10 (I can hardly believe how fast this summer is flying by!), and it just got a great review HERE!

Also, I just learned that THE IMMORTALS landed at #6 on Publisher's Weekly's Childrens Series Bestsellers list--and I just wanted to thank you for your continued support!

That's it on my end--must get back to Ever & Damen . . . hope you're all having a great week!

Alyson

RADIANCE!!!!

I'm so excited to present the RADIANCE book trailer--enjoy!!

DARK FLAME-- a New York Times & USA Today Bestseller!

I just got the amazing news that DARK FLAME has landed THE IMMORTALS on the New York Times Bestsellers List for Children's Series at #5--and I can't thank you enough!

The Children's Series List is insanely tough as it basically pits the total number of books in any given series against each other, and with only 4 books published in THE IMMORTALS so far, it's clearly your generosity, enthusiasm, and support that has landed me there!

Oh, and I also just learned that it debuted on the USA Today Bestsellers list at #11--woo-hoo!!!

I always say I have the best readers in the world--but that's only because it's true!

So, again, thanks to each and every one of you for making my release week so special--I couldn't have done it without you!

Cheers!

Alyson
