A NOTE FROM AMBER
Hello happy readers!
For Meridian’s fans, we are only four weeks away from the US debut of WILDCAT FIREFLIES (both hardcover and audio versions)! July 12th will be here before we know it, but if you can’t wait for a sneak preview be sure to check out the prologue on www.MeridianSozu.com! The Australian edition will be out in November. And the abridged German edition comes out in December. You can pre-order your copy from any bookseller or online.
I am hard at work on book three in the MERIDIAN series, called SPEED OF LIGHT. I just got home from a big trip researching all sorts of cool places and people! I’m so excited to be spending time with Meridian and Tens and new characters you’ll meet in WILDCAT FIREFLIES. Like Juliet, who’s merely trying to survive in a horrible place called Dunklebarger Rehabilitation Center. And Rumi who is a glass artist who makes Spirit Stones that glow around Fenestra! Or Joi, who runs Helios Tea Room and gives Meridian and Tens a place to call home. I can’t wait until you meet them all!
July will be a busy month both in bookstores and online. I’ll be stopping by Random Buzzers for a week from July 4th, answering questions from readers—so please come say hello to me! (I’ll post the address when it starts!) And be sure to check all your favorite book blogs—I am making the rounds with interviews, giveaways, games and all things book related. July 23rd I’ll be at Moonraker Books in Langley, signing book in the afternoon. And July 26th, I’ll be in Bellingham, Washington, teaching a writing workshop for teens at the library, then giving a behind the scenes talk at Village Books that night at 7PM. More events are still in the works so stay tuned.
7 KINDS OF ORDINARY CATASTROPHES (April 2011) definitely struck your funny bones—thank you for that! If you haven’t read it and want to peek—check out the first few chapters at www.OneButtCheek.com. Thank you for all the lovely emails!
Just a heads up—I’m caught up on fan mail from 2010, and heard from a reader who swore she didn’t hear from me. I reply! I do, I do! But sometimes they seem to get caught in spam filters because it’s an unknown address. So please check those pesky filters! If you have requested a bookplate and bookmark up until April 2011—you should have received it already! I am just now sending out May and June, but the others went out. So let me know if you didn’t get it and we’ll try again—make sure your zip code is correct on those addresses! And if you have questions be sure to read through the FAQs—most likely I’ve answered it already on there! As always though, if you have a question be sure to ask and I’ll answer as quickly as I can!
Let me know what you think of the prologue to WILDCAT FIREFLIES or Gert’s antics in 7 KINDS…
Live loud,
Amber

Can't wait to read WildCat Fireflies! I already know it's going to be as good as Meridian!
When I first read Meredian I was thrilled to have such a unique book to recommend to paranormal fans. I am even more thrilled that Wildcat Fireflies brings the story of Meredian and Tens to a whole new level and surpasses all expectations I might have had.Thank you for creating such an exciting world and a fascinating journey for us to travel with you.
On a side note Seven Kinds of Ordinary Catastrophes did the same with Gert's story. I truly do consider this series to be for today's generation what Judy Blume's - 'Are you there God, It's Me, Margaret' was to my generation. If parents and librarians can get pass some of the blunt language I think every 14/15 year old girl should read this and ask questions!
Thanks for always entertaining us.
I forgot to say that I liked the original title 'From butt to Booty' much better and even after reading it feel that it would have been a better fit.Why the change?
