Next Stop---Paris!!

Thanks to my awesome French publisher, Michel Lafon, I'm on my way to Paris to sign books at the Children's Book Fair, and I can't even begin to express how excited I am!

Not only is Paris one of my all time favorite cities, but my last visit to the Book Fair three years ago was  such an amazing event, I can't wait to return and thank my lovely French readers for supporting the books, taking THE IMMORTALS series (ETERNALS en Francais) to #1 on the bestsellers lists!

I have two signings scheduled, and I really hope to see YOU there!

Do Immortals Have Spirit Animals?

Readers of THE SOUL SEEKERS know that Daire and Dace are guided by Raven and Horse—did you ever wonder what Ever and Damen’s Spirit Animals are?

Well, after taking their own journey to the Lowerworld this is what they found:

Ever is guided by Butterfly. Butterfly represents change, metamorphosis, transformation, and has an innate understanding of the cycles of life, death, and rebirth. Those guided by Butterfly bring color, beauty, and joy wherever they go.

Sounds like Ever, right?

Damen is guided by Owl. Owl represents magic, mystery, prophecy, wisdom, and night vision. Those guided by Owl are generally old souls with an ability to foretell the future and see that which remains hidden from most. Owl brings awareness, wisdom, and sensitivity to any situation.

Though the description fails to mention Damen’s smoking hotness—I think the rest of it fits! ☺

Wondering which Spirit Animal might be guiding you? Check out some of these descriptions HERE and see which one fits!

Thank YOU!

Just wanted to thank all of my lovely readers along with the amazing staff at Alamosa Books for celebrating the HORIZON release with me! The Soul Seekers is a series that is dear to my heart, and I really appreciate all of you going on Dace and Daire's journey with me--I couldn't have done it without you!

Next up, I'll be appearing at the Monrtreuil Children's Book Fair in Paris, France on:

Wednesday, November 26, 3:00-5:00 p.m.

and

Saturday, November 30, 2:00-4:00 p.m.

After that, I'll be hard at work on a brand new project that I hope to announce soon! But until then, THANK YOU again for supporting THE SOUL SEEKERS--I'm so grateful to have you as readers!

Peace * Joy * Love

LESS THAN ONE WEEK UNTIL ….

THIS ...

MEETS THIS…

IT ALL HAPPENS HERE:

IN STORES 11.19.13.

THEIR DESTINY IS ON THE HORIZON.

Soul Seekers Inspiration

With less than a week to go until the HORIZON release- I thought I'd share a bit about just where the inspiration for Cade Richter's transformation into the snake-tongued beast actually came from…

My husband and I collect masks from all over the world--all of which are placed on a 2-story wall that faces the entry and also my office. I didn't even realize where I'd gotten the idea for Cade's transformation until I took a writing break one day, wandered over to the mask wall, and realized I'd been staring at it all along!

And speaking of HORIZON, I'll be signing copies next Tuesday, November 19 at 6:00 PM at Alamosa Books in Albuquerque, NM. Hope to see YOU there!! 

Also, if you haven't done so already, be sure to enter for your chance to win one of 100 pairs of Raven inspired feather earrings that we're giving away to celebrate the HORIZON release. Click HERE for details!

Have a great day!

One More Week!!!

Hey Everyone-

Just one more week until HORIZON hits the stores--but the early reviews are starting to trickle in and this is what they're saying:

“I am definitely marking this series as an absolutely favorite one. . . Everything that unfolds in Horizon is what the entire series has been building up to. It will suck you in and not let you go until you see that last word…Alyson Noel delivers yet again a series that I can get lost in way after the reading is over… I can't recommend it enough…I just can't believe it's over!” Shayna Varadeaux, 5 Stars

 "Fans will revel in this truly terrific ending to the SOUL SEEKERS series." 4 Stars
   —RT Magazine

  

“ABSOLUTELY LOVED IT…Told in several different viewpoints, this is one stunning conclusion to a wonderful series…you won't be disappointed..I loved how this ended.” –BookHounds

“Plenty of action and heartbreak …I actually really really like the ending…I think it was absolutely perfect and fitting…It’s a well done and solid final installment in my opinion and if you are fan of the series I think you will definitely be happy with it.” –Library of a Book Witch

“I am a huge fan of Alyson Noel and when I saw the chance to read Horizon I jumped on it. This is the 4th book in the series, and Alyson did not disappoint me one bit. Fun, intriguing, twists and turns, love, and pain. Alyson Noel has a way of transforming her characters, that they pulled me in without even realizing what was happening, and soon I was so caught up, that I hardly realized 2 hours had past. Books like this that can keep my intrigue and keep my mind reeling are reasons why I am a fan of this writer…

Overall I feel that the author did a great job in building the story and the characters. I loved the plot line, and the uniqueness of it all. There is mystery and suspense that had me captivated for hours. I do recommend this series!” Book Boyfriend Reviews, 4 Stars

“…if you have never read the previous books, than this one will get you caught up in what happened in the first three books…The main thing that I do like with this book and the other two books in this series is that the point of view switches between characters. I like learning what Dace and Lita and the others are thinking but I also like how Daire is finally starting to become prepared for whatever is about to happen.” –Panda Book Lover, 4.5 Stars

Everything that went down in the previous books, FATED, ECHO, & MYSTIC , has been leading up to this moment...and I hope you enjoy the explosive ending as much as I enjoyed writing it!

In the meantime, you can get a sneak peek at the first two chapters HERE!!

Also, over on THE SOUL SEEKERS Facebook page, we'll be making some fun posts as part of our daily countdown, so be sure to check by daily!

And, lastly, I'm so excited to be headed back to Alamosa Books, in Albuquerque, New Mexico to celebrate the finale of the series--same place I celebrated the release of FATED last year!

Hi All!

Well, MYSTIC has been in stores for a couple weeks now and I just wanted to thank you for your kind words and support. I'm so happy to know that so many of you are enjoying the series as much as I enjoyed writing it, and are looking forward to the final installment, HORIZON, in stores 11.12.13!

But, well before then, I'm headed for Norway on book tour next week and I can hardly wait to get there!

The MYSTIC trailer is here!!!

Hey Everyone-

I'm so excited about the release of MYSTIC today and to share the trailer with you!!

Without further ado--here it is.....Enjoy!!

Hey Everyone-

Well, it's been nearly two months since I last blogged or checked in on my social networks, and I want to thank you all for your patience during this difficult time.

But as things are beginning to stabilize, I thought I'd pop in and say hello and tell you how much I've missed all of you!

And while I apologize for the earlier events that I wasn't able to attend, I wanted you to know that I'm really excited about the release of MYSTIC tomorrow, May 7,  and to celebrate its release I'll be signing copies in Los Angeles, this coming Sunday, May 13, 2013 at 5:00 pm, alongside the amazing, Margaret Stohl, Marie Lu, Tahereh Mafi, Ransom Riggs and Kami Garcia!

Here are the pertinent deets:

Sunday, May 12, 5:00 pm
Barnes & Noble Santa Monica
1201 3rd Street Promenade
Santa Monica, CA 90401
Alyson will appear with Margaret Stohl, Marie Lu, Tahereh Mafi, Ransom Riggs and Kami Garcia

Also, I'm so excited to share that MYSTIC made the June cover of RT Magazine, (above!), which gave it 4 stars, and declared it:

"A Winner!"

And, A Midsummer Night's Read, gave it 4.5 stars, and said: 

"The plot development is positively divine in Mystic, and I am more excited than ever for the finale in this series. Much like Echo, the plot is going, going, going ... and just around every plot twist is another mystery to be unraveled. If you haven't started the Soul Seekers series, go pick up some copies now.  You won't regret it, I promise!"

And speaking of signings, I'm headed to Norway at the end of May for events in both Oslo as well as the Lillehammer literary festival! I had such a great time in Norway when I signed there two years ago, and I can't wait to return and see it in the spring (last time I was there was the coldest winter on record!)!

Again, I really want to thank all of you for your kindness and support during a difficult time-and I really hope to see you in L.A. or Norway--and, barring that, there's always Twitter and Facebook, right?!

Have a good day!

Peace * Joy * Love 

Alyson
