Hey Everyone-

Just wanted you to know that the FATED tour continues, and today I'm headed for Denver, where I'll be signing copies at Tattered Cover in Highlands Ranch at 7:00PM and I really hope to see YOU there!

Here are the details on this stop and those to follow:

If you haven't checked out the shiny new SOUL SEEKERS s ite, be sure to do so! You can build your own dream catcher, discover your spirit animal, read excerpts, watch the amazing trailer, and more! Just click HERE!

And for my UK readers: Did you know you can win the dress Daire Santos wears in the UK trailer for FATED--how cool is that? For more details, click HERE! (And check out the awesome new UK site while you're there!).

Also, so excited to see that FATED received a Starred Review in Today's Shelf Awareness! They said:


“Alyson Noël mines her New Mexico setting in this riveting kickoff to a quartet about Daire Santos, the reluctant heir to an ancient line of shamans. . .In Noël's capable hands, Daire straddles the otherworldly elements of her calling as a shaman and the familiar trappings of high school life. . .Readers will feel the pull of Daire's quest just as forcefully as Daire herself does and count the days until the release of Echo, the second installment, this fall.” –Starred Review, Shelf Awareness

That's all for now--hope you all are well!

FATED Trailer!

I hope everyone is enjoying a wonderful Memorial Day Weekend! As for me, I'm working on MYSTIC, book 3 in THE SOUL SEEKERS series (book 2 ECHO will be in stores on 11.13.12!), while the series trailer plays in the background. I can't get over how well they captured the world and the characters--it's just like I saw it in my head!

Tomorrow, I'm headed back on the road and look forward to seeing YOU at one of the tour stops in Denver, Salt Lake City, and Phoenix! All the details are HERE!

For now, I leave you with the trailer--enjoy!!

Pics from Telluride & Upcoming FATED Tour Dates!!

I’m back from the first part of my FATED tour and I want to thank all of YOU for making it such an amazing experience! I really appreciate all your support of FATED—I couldn't do it without you! I want to give an extra special THANK YOU to the teachers, librarians, and readers in Telluride for showing me such a good time in their beautiful town, which has incredible sights like these:


Amazing view on the ride to Telluride!


The Ralph Lauren Ranch!

View from my hotel room!


View from the Gondola!

Breathtaking scenery!

I love this creative storyteller chair!

The reviews for FATED keep coming in and I’m so excited to share the latest with you!
“ . . .intriguing, twisting story line,which is sure to draw Noël’s numerous fans.”  
--Booklist
“ . . .Noel does a terrific job of slowly unspooling their secrets and motivations with writing that is both charismatic and spunky. She describes the de rigueur mean girls as being "linked together in an impenetrable wall of designer knockoff jeans, padded bras and pop-star perfume." When a swarm of ravens descends on the town, "Their numbers [are] so great, the sky appears to be vomiting massive chunks of black hail.” In "Fated," Daire learns the world isn't at all as she'd believed. In "Echo," due out before the end of the year, readers are likely to be curious enough to want to find out what she plans to do about it.” 
-- LA Times
“ . . .there are some very unique plot twists, and the balance among romance, plot conflict and family relationships is well managed without a vampire or werewolf in sight . . .The magical system is different and well developed, drawing on both Spanish and Native American mythologies to create the Seekers, their enemies, the Lower, Middle and Upperworlds and the souls they fight over. "Fated" is a fast read and enjoyable . . .While the plot arc is complete in this book, the hooks for the next are set in place, and there is plenty of interesting material to be explored in future volumes.”  
--Deseret News

I’m also thrilled to announce that FATED is now available in the UK and you can check out the shiny, new SOUL SEEKERS UK website and trailer HERE! 
I’m gearing up for the remaining three stops on the FATED tour and I would love to see YOU there!

FATED Tour Continues in Colorado!

Hi everyone,
Just wanted to take a break from my tour to say THANK YOU to all those who came out to celebrate the FATED release with me in Albuquerque, New Mexico! Release day is always exciting, but you made this one of the best yet with all your kind words, Facebook messages, Tweets and all-around enthusiastic support!

Special thanks to Alamosa Books for hosting me for a signing and Tea and Talk—it was great meeting so many readers in New Mexico, where FATED takes place!
Chatting with readers at the Tea and Talk!

At the Alamosa Books signing!
Everyone at Alamosa Books was so warm and friendly, and I absolutely love how they incorporated ravens (Daire’s spirit animal) into this super-cool store display! 



For those of you who couldn’t make it, I left signed copies of all my books behind, so if you’d like to order one and have it shipped, you can visit www.alamosabooks.com.
Thanks, also, to the Desert Ridge Middle School students and staff for being so awesome—I had such a blast meeting all of you!
I also stopped by new New Mexico Style to chat about the inspiration behind The Soul Seekers. Thanks to Nikki for being such a great host!
