When The Stars Go Blue

(Blog title courtesy of Bono & The Corrs)

Still in the thick of deadline madness and the messages are piling up!! And while I won't be getting to them anytime soon, I figured I'd answer a few of the more commonly asked questions here:

Q. When will Dark Flame be in stores?
A. June 22, 1010

Q. When will you post the first chapter of Dark Flame so we can read it?
A. As soon as my publisher gives me the okay!

Q. Is Dark Flame the last book in The Immortals series?
A. No. It's the 4th book. The 5th book is Night Star (I'm working on it now!), and the 6th book is, as of yet, untitled.

Q. When will Radiance be in stores?
A. August 31, 2010

Q. Is Radiance part of The Immortals series?
A. It's a spin-off of the series, starring Ever's ghostly little sister, Riley & her dog Buttercup. It's about her adventures in the afterlife!

Q. Are you going to make a movie of The Immortals?
A. No. Hollywood makes the movies, I just write the books. Though, the dramatic rights were optioned by a producer so I'm hopeful that someday a movie will be made! My fingers are crossed--which makes for some very awkward typing . . .

Q. Can I audition for the movie? I would be a perfect: Ever, Haven, Riley, (insert character here).
A. I'm afraid I will have as little control over that as I do over whether or not it actually becomes a movie. It's all in the hands of Hollywood now . . .

Q. Are you doing any book signings?
A. Yes! You can find more on that HERE and HERE!

Q. When can we see the cover of Night Star?
A. As soon as it's finalized. But I saw an early mock-up and it's really, really pretty!

Q. I heard you have a story in the upcoming Kisses From Hell anthology--is that true?
A. Yes, it's called Bring Me to Life (after the Evanescence song) and it was really fun to write! It'll be in stores in September!!

Q. Is Bring Me to Life about Ever & Damen?
A. No. It's an entirely new story, a gothic romance, with entirely new characters!

Q. Why did you name this blog post When The Stars Go Blue?
A. Two reasons.
1. Because I recently got a sneak peek at Caridad Ferrer's upcoming YA of the same name and LOVED it!
2. Because it's an awesome song.

Q. Did you really get braces?
A. Yes.

Q. Why?
A. I ask myself that same question every single day!

Q. Is it true that you're sitting on some exciting news you can't wait to tell us?
A. Yes. it's true. But for now, I am bound to both secrecy and the powers of Jinx!

:)

Okay, back to work . . .

Have a good day all!

Imagine

(blog title courtesy of John Lennon)

Hey Everyone-

Wow, I can hardly believe almost a week has passed since my last blog entry, but the truth is there's a very good chance this could happen again as I'm careening toward the deadline for NIGHT STAR (formerly known as Untitled Immortals Book #5), which makes for such crazy-making times that the normal, daily activities like eating & showering are reduced to two more annoying items on the "To Do" list, while blogging definitely takes a back seat.

Though before I jump back into the world of Ever & Damen, I thought I'd take this rare moment of procrastination free time to catch you up on a few "newsy" type things:




1. RADIANCE: I just learned that foreign rights to Riley's series, beginning with RADIANCE, have sold to both France & the UK!!! I am very, very excited about this!



2. KISSES FROM HELL- an anthology: will be in stores September 1, 2010, and I'm thrilled to be included along with such amazing authors Kelley Armstrong, Francesca Lia Block, Kristin Cast, & Richelle Mead. I had a blast writing my story, a gothic romance titled, BRING ME TO LIFE, and I really hope you enjoy it too!



3. The Smart Girls Kick it Tour: Big things happening on the tour front- we've got the Smart Girls Facebook page HERE & The Smart Girls Twitter feed HERE

And a whole line up of awesome authors and exciting cities lined up!

The tour is set to begin mid-September, so stay tuned for more details coming soon . . .



4. And in case you missed it last time, the release of DARK FLAME has moved up to:

June 22, 2010!!

While RADIANCE will be in stores on:
August 31, 2010!!



5. And . . . well, there's actually more to share . . . and as soon as I get the okay, I will . . .

:)

That's it for now-- Happy President's Day everyone!
