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!

Hi Alyson! Your books are so amazing and i got them all for Christmas this year and I'm on shadowland and its so good and i hope ever is able to alter damen's curse! And i was also wondering, how can I make my own amulet like some of your fans did? and its not really possible for anyone to develop physic powers, is it? I have a friend who says even though "shes not as powerfully physic as Ever, she just has to practice and she'll develop her abilities too" and all our friends are pretending to believe her so her feelings wont get hurt but i dont know if i shoud just let her"practice from a site" or just tell her its just not realistic and that she read it in a fictional book? Whats your advice because i dont want her to stop beliving and lose hope but..AHH! i dont know what at all to do! she researched everything talked about from akashic records to the crystals to the book of shadows and shes trying to find a copy by some guy named gardner? But your books are so good and is it true that theres ony gonna be one more and then the series for ever is over?!
kay thanks for being so awesome and sharing you knowledge with us!
