London Calling (Frankfurt too!)

So, like I've already mentioned, next week I'll be in both London & Frankfurt for signings, book fairs, and the like. And since I just received my finalized schedule, I thought I'd share some of it with you in case you can make it to one of the events. Though I should note that the London activities are mostly limited to interviews, etc, including the Wimbledon Bookfest which is limited to the students. And while Frankfurt is mostly relegated to Book Fair attendees, there are also two public signings that I'm really looking forward to and would love to see you there!

Anyway, here it is:

London
Monday, October 4
Wimbledon Bookfest 11:00 - 111;50

Frankfurt
Friday, October 8, 3:30- 4:30
Reading/signingOpen BooksKunstverein, Markt 44

Saturday, October 9th
Frankfurt Book Fair
11:00- 12:00 Short reading/talk/sign at Random House stand

4:00 - 5:00 Book Signing Kaufhof department store on the Zeil




Also, just wanted to say THANKS for keeping RADIANCE on the New York Times Bestsellers List for the 4th week running--you guys rock!!


Have a great day, 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!

Thanks To YOU The Smart Chicks Really Did KICK IT!!!

Wow.

The last two weeks were exhilarating, exciting, and yeah, a little bit exhausting as well, (courtesy of all those early morning wake-up calls!), though it was truly amazing to see what started as a seed of an idea (Melissa Marr's truly awesome idea!) blossom into a full-blown tour of epic proportions!

While groups of authors touring together is nothing new, what was different about The Smart Chicks Tour was that it was fully author organized and financed. Corralling all those authors into all those cities was no easy feat, but thanks to the efforts of Melissa & Kelley & the rest of the amazingly talented Smart Chicks (in addition to writing incredible books they served as artists, tech specialists, and spread-sheet commandos!) it went off without a hitch. And I know I speak for all of us when I say THANK YOU to all of you who traveled to see us--many of you from great distances--and for all the enthusiasm, kindness, and generosity you brought along with you--it was truly appreciated!

For those of you who missed it (as well as those of you who'd like to relive it!) you can read all about it and watch video footage on the Smart Chicks Blog.

Thanks again for making this tour so amazing!
