More Pics from the UK tour!!

Hey Everyone-

Well, it seems I've fallen a little behind on posting the rest of my EVERLASTING UK Tour pics--I blame it on summer, my niece & nephew's annual 5 week visit, being on deadline for book 1 in my new SOUL SEEKERS series . . .but, today I'm back in business, so, without further delay--here's some pics from two school visits and a trip to Brighton Beach!!

Enjoy!!

More Pics From the UK: The EVERLASTING Launch Party!!!

My first day in London was a whirlwind of FUN that started with a bloggers brunch held at the PanMacmillan offices. There were sweets, and treats, and I had a great time hanging with some amazing UK bloggers pictured below!





After the brunch, we headed off to the lovely (and I do mean lovely!) St. Pancras Hotel for lunch where we dined at the Kitchen Table in the Gilbert Scott restaurant along with my publishing team, my UK agent, and Rachel from Foyles (waving!) And while I failed to take pics of the lunch (I was too busy eating!), it was food heaven for sure!

After the lunch, we ran back to our hotel to do a quick change, then we headed out to Concrete for the AMAZING EVERLASTING LAUNCH PARTY that surpassed all of my expectations and just blew me away!

Here are some pre-party pics taken by my husband--though I'm afraid once the party started we were having so much fun we forgot to capture it on film! But no worries, along with nail techs providing Aura Manicures (!), a tarot card reader (who I hear was eerily accurate!), red elixir cocktails, assorted munchies, awesome IMMORTALS gift bags, and a tower of red velvet cupcakes that would make Haven proud--there was also a professional photographer on hand, and you can view those pictures HERE!

Enjoy!




Hanging with some of the awesome My Kinda Book VIPs!



The party was held in a really cool space called Concrete-here's a pic of the entrance!



Red tulips + Candles + EVERLASTING on the wall = Awesome!




The long view of the space!



Sitting next to the goody bags, resting my feet before the fun begins!



Cupcakes!!!



Hanging out with my awesome & hardworking Mac team who made it all possible--the young girl in pink is an intern, how lucky is she?? :)

More to come...stay tuned!!

The Ireland/UK Tour in Pictures!


Hey Everyone-

Well, now that I'm back home in sunny California after 2 amazing weeks touring in Ireland and England for the EVERLASTING release, I wanted to shout out a Big Sparkly THANKS to all of you who came out to see me at the school events, the signings, and the completely amazing EVERLASTING launch party which surpassed all of my wildest expectations!

I had a wonderful time meeting all of you and touring your beautiful countries, and really hope to do it all over again in 2012 for my new YA series, SOUL SEEKERS--fingers crossed!

So aside from wrangling laundry, waking up at odd hours due to jet lag, and fighting off an overwhelming need to indulge in tea and scones with clotted cream and jam everyday around 3PM, I've spent the last few days downloading pics from a variety of cameras and cell phones and plan to post them here, hopefully in order, (it's really quite a jumble so I can't guarantee it!), over the next few days.

So, without further ado, I present to you...Ireland!!

Oh, and to watch a video of the interview I did on the popular Irish morning show, Ireland AM, click HERE!

Enjoy!
