Harlequin Teen Trio Tour

*Dusts off blog*

Apologies for the long absence. I've either been drowning in work or completely obsessed with Dragon Age II. But, now that I've beat the game, I guess I should get back to posting on my poor, abandoned blog. (Its not my fault I've been distracted. Look at what I've been dealing with.)














(Hello, Fenris. You can glare at me any day.)


ANYWAY, I thought I should also mention that I'll be in Dayton, OH this weekend for a signing with several awesome authors. This is Part One of the Harlequin Teen Trio Tour (yes, that's a mouthful), and I will be signing with Maria V. Snyder (The Study Series, Inside Out, Outside In) and Mara Purnhagen (Tagged, Past Midnight, One Hundred Candles.) Three other authors, Julia Karr (XVI), Sara Bennett Wealer (Rival), and Lisa Roecker (Liar Society) will be there as well. See below for details.

Book Signing at Books and Company (The Greene Shopping Center on 4453 Walnut Street, Beavercreek, Ohio, 45440, 937-429-2169) from 7:00 pm. to 9:00 pm.

Harlequin Teen Trio Tour (Part 2)

Hope you can make it! It's going to be a blast. :)

And now, I believe Dragon Age II is calling again.

Happy Dragon Age II Day!

Happy Dragon Age II Day!


Guess what I'm going to be doing tonight?

Alllllllll night?


Lol, if you have no idea what I'm talking about, you might remember a post I did about Dragon Age Origins, a video game with some of the best characters/voice acting/storylines I've ever seen. The characters (and there were a lot of them) were all fully fleshed out, with their own personalities and backgrounds, but there were two I kinda fell in love with.


Alistair













A knight, a warrior, and an absolute sweetheart. Got the whole chivalry thing down pat. Apparently, I'm not the only admirer.






















The "hello" version.

















The "yum" version.



And Zevran.















There's my assassin thing again. Zevran is part of the Antivan Crows, an order of feared assassins, and was sent to kill the main character, but he ends up joining the group instead.

Zevran also has quite the following, but I'm not going to post any pics. This is a family-friendly blog, after all. If you've played the game, you know what I mean.


Needless to say, I loved Dragon Age Origins. And the ending? The fabulous Ultimate Noble Sacrifice ending? Loved it! And now, FINALLY, Dragon Age II is out. Today! I have been stalking their official site for months now and I'm dying of anticipation. So if you don't see me around for a bit, its because I'll be in Ferelden again, saving the world. Also, I'm VERY intrigued by this guy.














His name is Fenris (LOVE!) and he's an elf who was a slave, killed his master, and escaped. Apparently, he has magical tattoos burned into his skin by his former master, so we'll see what those can do. He's also one of the love interests. *Huge geeky grin*

And, like Alistair and Zevran, he's already gathering admirers.





















Ooh...



So, who else is dying for Dragon Age II? Declare your geekdom proudly. :D

Library signing event

Hey everyone!

Look who will be appearing at the New Albany-Floyd County Public Library this month on the 19th!

Susan Coventry, author of THE QUEEN'S DAUGHTER





















and the awesome Kelly Creagh, author of NEVERMORE.























Oh, and me, of course. I'll be there, too. :D

















There will be a panel where the three of us will answer questions, so if you have a burning inquiry about publishing or writing or books in general, this is for you. Or if you just want to chat about faeries, queens, creepy monsters, or swoonable YA boys, we're all for that, too.

It should be a fantastic, fun, frolicsome fiasco. (Say that five times fast, ha!)

So, come on out, say hello, and support your local authors. We'll be waiting for you.

And now...the details.

Where: New Albany-Floyd County Public Library
W. Spring St.
New Albany, IN 47150

When: March 19th, 2-4 pm

Why: Because it'll be fun!

How: This you'll have to figure out on your own. I recommend a vehicle of some sort, though mule-carriage is certainly an option. Just be careful where you park.

Oh, and its recommended that you call to register for the event, to ensure there will be enough books, and to cement your spot for the panel discussion. The number to register is 812-949-3523.

Hope to see you there!

French Iron King Cover

Check this out. This is the French cover for The Iron King.






















It's slightly darker then the original, and the title is different. Below the little crown on the right it reads: The Invisible Realms. And the front title says: The Cursed Princess.

I like it. What are your thoughts?


And, if anyone can read French, here is the post that features it. :)

*Imagines Ash speaking French.* xD

Another Fan Vid

A fanmade vid that I discovered today. It was so awesome that I had to share it. Coincidentally, it is by the same person that won the Iron Queen contest a few weeks back. This person is seriously talented. So, for all the Meg/Ash and Meg/Puck fans out there, enjoy.

A belated V-day pic

So, after a loooooong hiatus, in which I was either snowed in at the Haunted Moose Lodge of Doom (more on that later), or suffering from Moose Plague, I'm finally back on my feet. I realize I missed a lot of stuff, for which I apologize for, and I hope to get back on top of things soon.

I wanted to post this on Valentine's Day, but I totally missed it, so I decided to put it up anyway. So, for all you hopeless romantics out there, happy belated V-day. Hope you got a big hug from the one you love. :)
















Ah, the squooshy. <3

The Iron Queen Court Blog Tour: Summer Court stop

Anyone here a Team Puck fan?














Today's tour stop is WORD for Teens, where a certain mischievous redhead is there to sing the praises of the Summer Court, and to give away a cool prize pack.

Also, don't forget to stop by Galleysmith to enter for another unique hand-drawn portrait, this time of the Iron Court.
















Good luck to everyone! And say hi to Puck for me.
