Right as Rain

(Blog title has nothing to do with post, other than the fact that it's currently raining outside!)

Dear Readers:
Wow--I can't believe it's been over a month since my last post! My only excuse is that I've been on the road.
A lot.
First I went here:

(Stairwell inside the NYC Flatiron building-home of my awesome publisher, St. Martin's Press)


Then I went here:

(Maui!)


And now I'm back here:

(Home!)


Though a lot has happened in the meantime.
Stuff like:



Pretty Little Liars hottie, Lachlan Buchanan, confessed to reading EVERMORE on the set! Cute boys that read--is there anything hotter?! Check out the interview HERE!




Also, my second novel, ART GEEKS AND PROM QUEENS (recently rereleased with a snazzy new cover!) was chosen by The Examiner as "A Gift Idea for the Women's Fiction Fan"--read the article HERE!





And, I'm thrilled to announce that EVERLASTING has been nominated for the 2012 Teen Choice Book of the Year Award! ( BLUE MOON was one of the top 5 finalists in 2010!) You can cast your vote anytime between now and January 31--winners will be announced in May 2012--all you have to do is click HERE! (Hint: EVERLASTING is listed under: THE IMMORTALS book 6- EVERLASTING).





And finally, for those of you who've been asking about FATED-book 1 in my new THE SOUL SEEKERS series (in stores 05.22.12!), here's a sneak peek:


From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Immortals comes a breathtaking new saga brimming with magic, mystery, and an intoxicating love story that will steal your heart away. Meet The Soul Seekers . . .

Strange things are happening to Daire Santos. Crows mock her, glowing people stalk her, time stops without warning, and a beautiful boy with unearthly blue eyes haunts all her dreams. Fearing for her daughter's sanity, Daire's mother sends her to live with the grandmother she's never met, but who recognizes the visions for what they truly are—the call to her destiny as a Soul Seeker—one who can navigate the worlds between the living and dead.

There on the dusty plains of Enchantment, New Mexico, Daire sets out to harness the powers of her ancestral legacy, but it's when she meets Dace, the boy from her dreams, when things take an alarming turn. Forcing Daire to discover if Dace is the one guy she's meant to be with...or if he's allied with the enemy she's destined to destroy.



FATED will be followed by:

ECHO, MYSTIC, & HORIZON in 2012/13!
Foreign rights have already been sold to the UK, Germany, France, Greece, & Brazil--with many more to come!


We'll be updating my website soon-ish to include THE SOUL SEEKERS series, but, in the meantime, to keep up on all the latest, breaking news (along with all the random thoughts that pop into my head!) follow me on Twitter -- and don't forget to download the free Alyson Noel App Here!
That's all for now--have a good day, everyone!

Every Picture Tells a Story

(Blog title courtesy of Mr. Rod Stewart)
Hey Everyone-
So I just received what has got to be some of The Cutest Riley Bloom Reader Pics EVER --and I had to share them with you . . . so, without further ado:


Signing a copy of DREAMLAND on the Pen Fatale Tour!

Group photo!

Look--it's a real life Buttercup!


And he reads too!

LOVE this one--too cute!!

Also, as I mentioned on Twitter, last night my husband and I went to a cooking class at Charlie Palmers in South Coast Plaza - and it was awesome! Though, in the interest of full disclosure, allow me to say that I am probably one of the worst cooks you will ever meet--though I do love to eat, and there was plenty of amazing food to be had!
Also, the amazing chef Charlie Palmer was kind enough to take a picture with me, even after I confessed I was mostly there to eat!



Have a great night, everyone!

Closer Magazine!

Hey Everyone-
Well, I'm gearing up to start work on ECHO, book 2 in my new SOUL SEEKERS series- (I just finished book 1, FATED, which will be in stores on 05.22.12- see the awesome cover in the blog post below!)- but wanted to take a few moments to share a few things:
Last December while on book tour in Paris, I did this interview for Closer magazine (it's like People only in French), and since it was just sent to me, I wanted to share it with you!



Also, we've been working on it for a while now, and I'm happy to say that the International Immortals page is now up, featuring covers and links from all over the globe! You can see it HERE!
And, for those of you in the Chicago area, I'll be heading your way next April for the RT convention. Last year the Teen Day in L.A. was amazing--and this year's is gearing up to be just as good if not better--so I really hope to see you there! To see my scheduled events, click HERE!
Also, the Pen Fatale Tour made Amazon's Omnivoracious Blog! To read it: click HERE! To see my Q&A where I talk about my favorite tour moment, favorite literary character, and favorite shoes--click HERE!
And last but not least, I'm thrilled to announce that the SOUL SEEKERS series has sold translation rights to the UK & Germany . . .with more to come!
Have a great day, all!
:)

FATED!!!!

Dear Readers:
While it's true that I've been a very bad Blogger, Facebooker, & Twitterer ( <-easier written than said!) as of late, I had a really good excuse:
I was on deadline.
But now that I've kicked that deadline to the curb, by, um, finishing the book--I'm back!! And I wanted to share something awesome that happened in the meantime:
I got the final cover for FATED , book 1 in my new SOUL SEEKERS series, that'll be in stores on 05.22.12 (to be followed by ECHO, MYSTIC, & HORIZON in 2012/13!)
And I LOVE it!
I mean, I truly LOVE this one!
And, I hope you love it too!!!

Playing Catch Up!

Hey Everyone-
Well, it seems I've been very lax about blogging, facebooking, and tweeting lately (yes, they are all action words!), and my excuse is that I returned from the Pen Fatale Tour and went straight into deadline mode.
For those who don't know, deadline mode is a very sorry state of unwashed hair, unhealthy meals . . . well, let's just leave it at that--it's best not to go into too much detail.
For those who do know, then thank you for understanding.
Anyway, after climbing out of the rubble that is my desk, I thought I'd share a few random pics and articles and videos with you, presented in no particular order, so here goes:
Random Video #1, filmed during my Brazilian Book Tour, where I talk about The Immortals series, Brazilian culture, and more!





Random article # 2- a piece in Publisher's Weekly Children's Bookshelf where me and my fellow Pen Fatale Tour Mates spill the dish on group tours! To read it, click HERE.

Random article #3- DEAR BULLY--an amazing anthology where 70 YA authors speak out, yep, including moi, on the horror that is bullying-- featured in PEOPLE magazine--how awesome is that?!



And last but not least, random pic #4- Enjoying a little time off in Seattle with the talented & lovely Mary Pearson & Jessica Brody!



That's it for now--the manuscript won't revise itself!
Or will it?
Hmmmm . . . .
:)
