Release Day Redux!!!!

No, I don't have jaundice--that's my aura!!

To check out yours, visit the awesome new IMMORTALS SERIES site by clicking HERE!

And speaking of release days, (I know we really weren't but I felt like I needed a segue), what an awesome release day it was! I heard from so many of you who not only bought BLUE MOON but also read it in the same day--and I can't thank you enough for all of your support!!

I celebrated with a trip to the hair salon, lurked around in a few local bookstores, then hung with my niece and nephew who are visiting us for their annual summer visit.

But today I'm back to business, deep into the writing of UNTITLED IMMORTALS #4 on my backup computer since my laptop is still in a coma, still in the Apple ICU unit, while I'm still hoping for a speedy recovery because I feel so discombobulated without it!

And since a lot of you seem to be asking certain questions more than others, I'll answer them here:

SHADOWLAND is due in stores on Jan 5, 2010 even though the back of BLUE MOON says February!

I have no updates on the TV show/movie yet--but promise to keep you posted if anything does come up!

Also, there will be a total of 6 books in the series, so SHADOWLAND is most definitely not the end!!! Ever and Damen have many more adventures ahead of them (many!)!!

And yes, it's true that Riley (Ever's ghostly sister) will be getting her own series set to debut in Fall 2010!

And . . . that's it! So while I get back to work, I'll leave you with these links of fun reviews and mentions you might want to check out:

The bad news is:

My laptop is currently residing in the Apple hospital in the Intensive Care Unit.

BLUE MOON was in the Target circular in the Sunday paper!! (page 5 , right next to Linda Howard's, James Patterson's, and Janet Evanovich's books!)

The bad news is:

This backup computer has an unfamiliar keyboard that will be held responsible for all of today's typos.

The good news is::

BLUE MOON is officially out tomorrow!!! (Though I know lots of people already found early copies!

The bad news is:

I am still waiting for my copies as they've yet to arrive!

The good news is:

My office just got prettier . . .

. . .and I didn't even have to clean it because the FTD man just left these on my door step!!!

Two dozen, completely glorious, Vera Wang roses (I didn't even know Vera grew roses?!) sent by my publisher!!  And now everything in this overcrowded workspace looks better and brighter and smells dreamy too!!

Also, just learned that the French version of the EVERMORE booktrailer is up on YouTube!!

They're calling it Eternels on that side of the pond, and they've kept the cover the same.

But the bad news is, I can't seem to upload it here. (Oh blogger--why have you forsaken me?!)

But the good news is, you can watch it by clicking HERE.

And the really good news is, it appears my high school French has remained faithful all these years . . . merci, mademoiselle Hoehn!!

Oh, and just 6 more days now until BLUE MOON officially drops . . .and just two more days until we pick a winner for those signed copies on Free Book Friday Teens, so be sure to sign up!

And, come Tuesday, I have something really, really great to share with you!!  So great I wish I could share it now--but I promised I wouldn't so . . .

You can wait through the weekend though, right??!!

;-D

Have a good day everyone!
