Signing in San Diego!!

Hey Everyone-

So ECHO hit stores last week--and I just want to take a moment to thank all of you for your excitement and support. Once again, you've proved that I have THE BEST READERS EVER--and I'm so grateful for all of you--I truly couldn't do it without you!

The reviews are coming in, and this is what they're saying:

"Daire and her boyfriend Dace are back to restore the balance of good and evil after saving her grandmother and her soul. Dace is deliciously yummy, and if I say so myself, so is his evil brother Cade. It's a bit more fast paced than Fated was, and it's setting up the series to have longevity. If only it wasn't so long again until the next installment!" 4.5 Stars—Top Pick!   —Night Owl Reviews

      "Alyson is a fabulous storyteller. Teens and adults alike have flocked to her Immortals and Riley Bloom series ...Daire and Dace are a hot couple, and Daire is a realistic heroine."—Jessie Potts, HEAUSAToday

"Mix surrealism, a prophecy, and a love that knows no bounds for one amazing read. I couldn't put this book down!"—YABC Book Reviews

"Daire and Dace are powerful heroes whose affecting love makes this series an engrossing, passionate reading experience." - TeenReads

The fictional town of Enchantment, New Mexico sets the stage for this engrossing tale of good and evil, magic, love, and sorcery. Daire is a worthy heroine, and makes her way between the otherworlds fearlessly. The suspense of the story primarily lies with the split soul of brothers Dace and Cade, and the reader will eagerly anticipate the way this situation resolves itself. Will good overcome evil? What sacrifices will need to be made? The author draws the reader into this conflict with ease, and deftly weaves modern-day life—cell phones and teenage angst—with ancient customs and folklore. This is a wonderful recommendation for readers of fantasy.— VOYA

ECHO picks up right where FATED left off, and I have to say it was an especially fun book to write as I got to alternate between Daire and Dace's point of view!

I especially enjoyed the moments when Dace looked like this!

In fact, I had so much fun writing in Dace's voice, that I decided to do it again in MYSTIC!

Just released cover for MYSTIC!

MYSTIC picks up right where ECHO leaves off--and I have to say that the stakes are higher than ever!! Look for it in stores in May 2013-- followed by the fourth and final book, HORIZON, in November 2013!!

But well before all of that, I'm excited to announce that I'll be signing copies of FATED & ECHO, along with all of my other titles, this Friday night, November 30 at Mysterious Galaxy in San Diego, CA! It's my final signing of 2012, so I really hope YOU can come out and see me!

The exact details are:

Friday, November 30, 2012
7:00PM
Talk & Sign
Mysterious Galaxy
7051 Clairemont Mesa Blvd, Suite 302
San Diego, CA 92111(858) 268-4747

And though it may be hard to see in the pic above--I'm thrilled to announce that FATED was nominated for RT Magazine's "Reviewer's Choice Award" for Best Young Adult Paranormal/Urban Fantasy novel!!

Again--THANK YOU for being so awesome! Hope to see you this Friday at Mysterious Galaxy!!

And now, I leave you with the hotness that is Dace & Cade!!

Have a great day!

Alyson

ECHO in Stores Tomorrow, Tues., Nov. 13!!!

Hi everyone,

The release of ECHO is almost here and I'm SO excited to share this book with you! 

She inherited a magical destiny—and a mission to stop a powerful family of dark sorcerers. She never expected to fall in love with one of them.

 

There's still so much Daire Santos has to learn about being the last Soul Seeker....and about herself. As her magical training becomes more intense, so does her relationship with Dace. But when she learns that his connection to the evil Richter family goes far deeper than she ever imagined, she begins to question if love really can conquer all. 

Dace is painfully aware that he wouldn't exist if it wasn't for the Richters' dark magic—and now his brother Cade is determined to use his love for Daire against him. Dace is willing to sacrifice anything to protect the girl he loves—including his own life. But will Daire allow it? And what if defeating Cade costs not only his life, but his soul too?

In case you haven't seen it yet, here's a glimpse at the next installment in the SOUL SEEKERS series...




Read an excerpt from ECHO HERE.

The reviews for ECHO are starting to come in and I'm happy to share that Night Owl Reviews gave it 4.5 stars and named it a Top Pick!

"Daire and her boyfriend Dace are back to restore the balance of good and evil after saving her grandmother and her soul. Dace is deliciously yummy, and if I say so myself, so is his evil brother Cade. It's a bit more  fast paced than Fated was, and it's setting up the series to have longevity. If only it wasn't so long again until the next installment!" 

ECHO will be available in paperback, hardcover, e-reader, and audiobook tomorrow! Check out www.soulseekersseries.com for all the latest details and a complete list of retailers!  

I had such a blast writing this book and I hope you enjoy reading it! 

More news coming soon!
