Copenhagen Day 1!

Must get to bed soon as I have a full day tomorrow--but first, just wanted to share some pics from my first day in Copenhagen . . .


Morning view from the hotel room--snow!!!




After a great interview with the Metro Express, I headed to the fabulous and famous, La Glace to meet up with two amazing readers, Helena and Anna Katharina who won a contest on why they love The Immortals series. We ate delicious cakes, drank coffee and hot chocolate, and talked, and talked, (and talked!), and the whole thing was captured on film by TV2 and Ole Kolster!! Those of you in the area can catch it on the Friday night news at 7:00 PM!!



Waiting for Helena & Anna Katharina!

Helena, me, Anna Katharina!


Signing their books!


Tomorrow after a couple morning interviews with Berlingske Tidende and Politiken/Born og Boger, I'll be singing books at 4:00 PM at:

Bod & Ide
Lyngby Hovedgade 23
2800Kgs. Lyngby'

And I really hope to see you there!!

Have a great day, everyone!

A Thanksgiving Thank YOU!!!


I'm in beautiful, snowy Copenhagen today, but just wanted to thank all of YOU for your support of the Immortals series, including the latest release, NIGHT STAR, which landed at #3 on the New York Times Bestsellers list for Children's Series (an insanely tough list!), and at #20 on the USA Today Bestsellers list!!

Your support means the world to me--so:

Thank YOU * Thank YOU * Thank YOU!!

Enjoy your turkey!!

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!!
