<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
With every tour or signing announcement, I always feel bad because there's a lot of places always left out. Just not outside the U.S., but some states that it just doesn't make sense for a publisher to send me to. There is always a lot of questions about signings and requests for me to come to certain areas after a signing is announced or a contest. Which by the way makes me all warm and fuzzy, because I am beyond flattered that anyone, anywhere would want to meet me. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But sometimes I get emails where people are really upset that a country or location is left off the list, sometimes at me, so I thought it would be good to address the issue of signings. Keep in mind, this is not the same for every author, but it's a pretty widespread practice.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
1. I don't pick the places where I do a tour. Sometimes I have a say in it. Like with the Deity tour, I told the publisher I wanted one day I could spend in Salem. Yep, that's the extent of my control. The tour is almost always set up by the publisher and the author goes where they are told, because nine out of ten times, the publisher is paying for the tour and related expenses. While I'd love to hit up every state, a publisher isn't going to pay for something like that and I'd go bankrupt trying to fund something like that.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
2. Events are totally different. Authors usually have to be invited to attend an event, like PAYA or YALLFest or they have to register to attend the event. And attending those events are not free usually. Some cost upwards of $500 or more for the author to take part in and most of the time the publisher doesn't pay for the event or the cost of traveling. A lot of authors, including me, foot those bills because some of the larger events like BEA and RT are well worth that kind of investment because you get to meat hundreds if not thousands of readers. So sometimes the reason why an author doesn't go to an event near you is because a) they weren't invited b) they didn't register in time to attend c) they have a book to write/deadline and therefore cannot attend.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
3. Tours can cost a decent amount of the money. The publisher needs to have the expectation that they can recoup the loss through the tour or during and afterward through exposure. That's why you see a lot of author tours in big cities. It's all about markets. I'm sure they have a crazy complicated formula for it, but they target certain cities based on reading statistics, event participation, population, and a whole slew of other factors. For example, authors never EVER come to Martinsburg, West Virginia, because of all those factors. I live there and don't do signings there. The best advice I can say is keep an eye on your favorite author. They may not ever come to your town, but they may come to one that is pretty close. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
4. Overseas. Here's the sad fact. Overseas tours are rare. For several reasons. Cost is a big thing and is probably the same reason why readers who live in Italy don't fly to Nashville for an author's signing. Also, if a book isn't sold into a foreign territorial, meaning that the foreign rights haven't sold to an Australian publisher or UK publisher for example, most likely an author won't do a signing there because the book isn't even being sold in that country. Usually international tours are done when a book becomes an international bestseller or really takes off in a country that it's being sold in. Trust me guys, I'd love to visit places overseas than I would in the US, but if the book isn't translated and/or sold in that country, it's probably not going to happen. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Here are the countries that are selling or will be selling my books:</div>

The Daemon Invasion contest is the exception to the rule. We are letting the fans choose where a signing will be, but I'd be smart about it. If you know your town is small but you live near a bigger city, go with that bigger city due to the amount of votes it could receive. You have a better chance at winning. =) </div>

I hope that clears up some signing and event questions.I can tell you that next year I will be at St. Augustine Florida Olde City New Blood conference, RT in Kansas City, and BEA in NYC. That's what I'm scheduled to attend so far. That will be added to, but just to give you an idea. </div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I've gotten the winners from the "I'm Cursed" contest. First I want to say there were some really great entries and the team reading the posts had a really hard time deciding on the top three. I did not pick the winners, but I did read over the entries. The team was looking for the most creative method and I think they settled on three that really fit that requirement. I also want to thank those who were patient. The contest ended on the 25th and then I had to give time for people to read the entries. With the kind of prizes involved, they really wanted the time to make sure they were giving everyone a fair shot. </div>

1st Place</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Winner of the Nook or Kindle</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<u><b>Ashley Wyckoff-</b></u><u> </u></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<u>Answer: </u>How would you find a way to touch a person you loved if your touch
killed?<br />The obvious answer to this question would be to wear gloves or some
other sort of barrier. You could also say there are other ways to touch someone
besides physically like emotionally, but neither of those things get you actual
skin to skin contact. For that you need to open up your mind more.<br />The best
thing to do would be to find a cure for the curse but you can’t just go to any
doctor for that. You can go to a fairy though. Fairies are quite smart they
could create an exlir that can either make him immune or to cure her. The only
problem is fairies are very cunning and you need to have something they want or
know their name to get them to work with you.<br />You can also find a vampire.
Then have the vampire turn him into a vampire so he is now immune to her touch
or turn her into a vampire so that her curse is gone. Now all you have to do is
control your thirst.<br />If you don’t want to use any mythical creatures you can
go about it a more scientific way. The first thing you need to do is learn how
the curse works. This may be too difficult to do so start with small things. How
does it kill the person? Is it only skin that causes it to happen or is saliva
or blood involved?<br />This was an interesting question I hope I answer it
uniquely enough</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
*thinking outside of the box... or the gloves*</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
2nd Place</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Winner of the swag pack</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Heather</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<u>Answer</u>: Excellent question, especially since
touch is important not just to humans but lots of other species as
well...<br />There's the usual stuff like wear clothing, use other objects--like a
back scratcher for example, breathe/blow on them, use that spray on silicone
that helps you hide your finger prints...uh..I mean...But those all include
barriers and the only thing I could think of was super far out there and nerdy.
So I'm just gonna let my nerd flag fly and say I keep thinking back to the Star
Trek movie where the Borg give Data the "skin" so that he's able to feel touch.
You know the one I'm talking about? Where they attach the skin to him and his
super brain registers the sensations as feelings and for .0005 nano seconds he
actually thinks about joining the Borg because it feels so good? You know, THIS
scene: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R_HSYB3EPNk ANYWAY, that's what I'd do.
NO, not become Borg. Sheesh. I'd have to either become Data, get me an emotion
chip and graft on some skin or become a nun. No way I could live with the fam
and not touch them :) </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
*nerd flag fly (giggles*</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
3rd Place</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Name as a character in 4th Lux book <br /><b>Lyla</b>-<br /><u>Answer</u>: I would create a phone app for that. You know there's apps for everything, why
not to touch someone? Haha.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
*I'm pretty sure everyone laughed out loud at that* </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Some honorable mentions:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Someone said call Chuck Norris. LMAO. Another said touch in a pool of pudding. Giggles. And phone sex was a great answer. So were the druids, but we had a lot of witch-type responses. </div>

Congrats to the winners!</div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I've got some really exciting news that I've been sitting on for a while. Well, for like a couple of months, but I finally get to share the rough form of the PW announcement which should be going live very soon, so YAY!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
USA Today bestselling author Jennifer L. Armentrout's adult novel
OBSESSION, which takes place in the world of the YA series THE LUX, in
which a young woman discovers an alien race is behind her best friend's
death, making her their next target, and must rely on a sexy,
domineering stranger to protect her, who turns out to be the biggest
threat of them all - an Arum, to <a href="http://www.publishersmarketplace.com/dealmakers/detail.cgi?id=21260" target="_blank">Liz Pelletier</a> at <a href="http://www.publishersmarketplace.com/dealmakers/detail.cgi?id=20652" target="_blank">Entangled</a>, for publication in spring 2013 (world) <b><span style="color: #1f497d;">by Kevan Lyon at Marsal Lyon Literary Agency</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Eeep!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
What can I tell you about Obsession?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
An Arum. Yes. You read that right.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Obsession does take place in the same world that Katy and Daemon inhabit, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Obsession is more mature, definitely targeted toward the older crowd. It's an adult romance, so you know what that means. <br />
Obsession will change what you think you know about the Luxens and Arums. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
There will be some crossover with certain characters from the Lux Series.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Obsession takes place in-between Opal and the 4th Lux novel, which is called Origin (special thanks to the twitter follower who suggested that title.)<br />
Some of you may even remember a tease I did a couple of months ago. Hunter and Serena are the lead characters in Obsession. Click <a href="http://jenniferarmentrout.blogspot.com/2012/05/teaser-alert.html" target="_blank"><u><b>HERE </b></u></a>to see the tease and <a href="http://jenniferarmentrout.blogspot.com/2012/05/oh-yes-another-teaser.html" target="_blank"><u><b>HERE</b></u></a><br />
Hunter is a true alpha male and is one of my favorite characters I've ever written. He's like Daemon and Seth rolled into one. Totally no holds bars. Hunter is... well, he's Hunter.<br />
You don't have to read the Lux Series to read Obsession <br />
And if you enjoyed Obsidian and Daemon, well, I think you're going to enjoy Obsession. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Obsession is slated for March 2013 release date from Entangled and currently a standalone. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Also, I know a lot of you are waiting to hear about the awesome contest. We are waiting for Entangled to give the go ahead. </div>

This isn't the only tour I'll be going on this year. Remember the comment about checking out my blog on October 1st? There's a very special contest coming. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
In the next year or so, I do plan on doing a bigger tour that covers most of the US, but right now, I have a lot of books to write (you will be hearing about one of those very, very soon), and need time to actually write them. Giggles. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Don't forget I'll be at the Baltimore Book Festival this Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
In celebration of an awesome OPAL cover reveal and the fact I finally own a Mogwai. Well, I kind of own a Mogwai now, I have a teaser for you. It's between Katy and Daemon, in Daemon's POV, but I can't tell which book it's from.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
For those who have read most of my books, you know how I like to reference random things in all my novels. Say, like, the chupacabra. I think that's mentioned in all my series. I've moved on to Mogwai now. </div>

and some of the pressure eased off my chest. “You’ve seen Gremlins, right?
Remember Gizmo?” When I nodded, she laughed. The sound was hoarse, as if
she hadn’t laughed in a while. Which, of course, she hadn’t. “Mom let me watch it when I
was a kid and I was obsessed with Gizmo. I wanted one more than I wanted
anything in the world. I even promised Mom that I wouldn’t feed it after
midnight or get it wet.”</span></div>

like the first time in days. “If I had a Mogwai, I’d totally feed it after
midnight. That mohawk gremlin was a badass.”</span></div>

about a thousand pounds lighter. “Why doesn’t that surprise me?” she said.</span></div>

We can finally share the official cover of OPAL, the third book in the Lux Series. I'm so excited to share it with you, plus the blurb. But first, I want to thank everyone who signed up for the cover reveal. There was around 265 bloggers who did, and holy smokes, I am BLOWN AWAY by that. You guys are amazing. Makes me all teary-eyed and stuff. </div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
On the eve of <i>CURSED </i>being released, I'm so excited to share some news with you today. I've seen the <i>OPAL </i>cover and I must say that I love it. I even got a little tease for you plus news on when the cover will be revealed and how you can take part in the reveal!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But first I have an update about <i>UNCHAINED</i>. I know many, many of you have been waiting for this book.<i>UNCHAINED </i>was the very first adult book that I wrote, so it's near and dear to my heart. In the upcoming months, there is going to be a lot of promotional events surrounding the Lux Series and a lot of my focus and the Entangled's will be focused on that series. None of us want <i>UNCHAINED </i>to get lost in the mix. With that being said, <i>UNCHAINED </i>is being pushed back to Winter/Spring 2013.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But don't fret. I have great news for you. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Because <i>UNCHAINED </i>is being moved back, <i>TEMPTING THE PLAYER</i>, the second book in the Gamble Brothers series, will be released on October 23, 2012 to tide over all those adult readers out there. I am so, so excited to share Chad and Bridget's story with you. It's very fun, sassy, and sexy. Or at least I think so, but hey, I'm bias. Please keep in mind that <i>TEMPTING THE PLAYER</i> and the first book in the series, <i>TEMPTING THE BEST MAN</i>, is under my pen name J. Lynn. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Okay. Now onto the <i>OPAL </i>cover news. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
9/11 has become our generation's JFK or Pearl Harbor. At least, that's what I believe. It is an event that most people will always remember what the were doing the very moment they had first heard of the attacks on NYC and the Pentagon or realized what was happening wasn't a horrible accident. <br />
<br />
I remember clearly what I was doing and where I was.<br />
<br />
I was at the University, in class when the first two towers were hit. Everyone in my class was oblivious to what was going on. When the class ended, I had about 15 minutes in-between classes and had headed outside before going to the computer lab for an exam. That's when I knew something was up. Everyone was on their cellphones or just standing in small groups. When I first heard that a plane had hit one of the towers, like probably everyone in the world, I thought it was an accident, Of course, as people around me gathered more information from people at home watching TV or on the Internet, it quickly became obvious that what was happening was no accident. I remember being sort of dumbfounded by it as I went to my next class, like I couldn't believe that anyone or anything would dare attack the US. I'm sure I wasn't the only one who thought that. That belief may sound arrogant to some, but nothing had ever happen like that in our generation. I went to my computer class and like everyone in the room, we were trying to get on news websites to find out more info. CNN. MSNBC. FOX news. All the major news sites were down due to traffic. That had never happened before. We still had our exam. I remember the professor saying something along the lines of not stopping our lives and that was what the terrorists wanted. And I remembered thinking taking a computer lab exam was probably the last thing on everyone's mind. After the exam, I met up with my friend Shelly, who had been home and was woken by another friend that morning, telling her to turn on the TV. She saw the second plane hit. Shell and I left school and went back to my apartment and turned on the news. Neither of us knew what to say. The towers had already fallen by then, but the news kept reshowing images of the planes striking the buildings, of people jumping or falling from the towers, of flames shooting from the Pentagon and from the field in Pennsylvania, of the towers falling down into themselves and everyone in the world knew that there were still people in those buildings when they came down. Then they were images of people all around the world: Japan, England, China, and so on, of their citizens stopped in their streets, watching the events unfold in the US. I don't think I'll ever forget the looks on their faces. That even separated by thousands of miles, language, and culture, there were sharing a moment that had been felt around the world. For days afterword, I was glued to the TV. Every time they pulled a survivor out from the mass of twisted metal and debris, it was a good moment in the span of many bad ones. Hearing and seeing fighter jets fly over where I live, because the president had refueled at our local, regional airport was another thing that is hard to forget, because you really don't expect to see that when you look at the sky. I remember going to my parents house that night and my brother being there, too, mostly because I don't think anyone wanted to be alone. I remember going to sleep that night wondering what kind of world I was going to wake up in. <br />
<br />
I didn't know anyone who lost their lives on 9/11. While I live somewhat close to the Pentagon, about an hour or so away, this didn't happen in my backyard. But for anyone who lived through that moment and the days and weeks afterward, it impacted the lives of millions. I never saw that one firefighter with blue eyes heading up the stairwell of one of the towers in person, but I will remember his face forever. I didn't know any of the firefighters, EMTs, police officers or Port Authority officers who lost their lives that day, but I know they were heroes. I will also never forget the sound of all those beeping of all the trapped firefighters.The world literally stopped that day. I hope that for the generations too young to remember what happened on this day are taught by their parents and teachers to not forget.<br />
<br />
Never forget doesn't mean that if we do, that history will repeat itself. At least that's not what it means for me. Never forget means to remember the 2,977 people who go up the morning, on a morning very much like today, where the skies are a beautiful blue, and went to work, having no idea that their lives would be tragically cut short.<br />
<br />

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have something pretty and sparkly to share with you today. No, not a vampire but close. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The wonderful Viviane from <a href="http://www.hebeldesign.com/" target="_blank"><u><b>HebelDesign </b></u></a>created an Obsidian inspired necklace. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This is what Daemon gave Katy in Obsidian and she wears throughout the series. </div>

<br />
Pretty, isn't it?<br />
<br />
So what do you guys think? If HebelDesign's had Lux Series inspired jewelry (and yes, I've heard of some of the plans and they are awesome), would you guys be interested in purchasing/wearing said designs.<br />
<br />
Please comment and let us know!<br />
<br />
UPDATE:<br />
<br />
Well, the response from you guys was pretty quick and HebelDesigns will begin selling Lux inspired jewelry. The first piece is available now. More is being added. You can view the Lux page <a href="http://www.hebeldesign.com/Lux_c35.htm" target="_blank"><u><b>HERE</b></u></a>Jennifer L.

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
In anticipation of the release of CURSED, I have a big contest planned for you guys. Because CURSED is kind of a big deal for me. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjWnIiJOSQd14DncErYV0b4XT9NoC1SnbkPVg_9FSSgl50z75UbzbkxR5cx-gVJU18joFqdFaYu6tDO8ihDf6U_HXSCXyR4MpWuADtFpeSMUjLebsMvJTxWziXj_V6t4TBKIq-pVLOy5iU/s1600/Cursed+cover.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjWnIiJOSQd14DncErYV0b4XT9NoC1SnbkPVg_9FSSgl50z75UbzbkxR5cx-gVJU18joFqdFaYu6tDO8ihDf6U_HXSCXyR4MpWuADtFpeSMUjLebsMvJTxWziXj_V6t4TBKIq-pVLOy5iU/s320/Cursed+cover.jpg" width="227" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Why?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Well, I wrote CURSED in-between Half-Blood and Pure, so this little baby has been percolating since roughly 2008/2009. A lot of you have had Cursed added to your To-Read shelves since late Spring of 2011. Some who have been members of Query Tracker might even remember the query for Cursed (titled Gifted at the time), so this has been a work of love for several, several years. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's also a big deal for me because it's my first hardcover release. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So I needed something big to giveaway. Something I haven't given away yet. And no, not my firstborn child, although I don't plan on having any of them to give away, but if I did, I may save that for something else.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
*Hopes possible future child does not see this*</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Anyway, so here's the contest. Pay close attention to the rules. </div>

Yesterday I went to the 3rd annual PAYA Festival in West Chester, PA with Wendy Higgins and the uber cool Evie. (Evie had the cutest dress eva on.) I like to think we took the scenic route to West Chester, which included destinations like Baltimore MD, Camden, NJ, and Burger King. I'm pretty sure 2 out of those 3 are in the Top 10 murder capitals in the United States.The 3 of us talked so much on the way up, that Wendy wore off her chapstick. I swear we were only talking.<br />
<br />
PAYA was great. I got to meet a lot of great readers, bloggers, and other authors. I saw Jeri Smith-Ready and got to talk to her. Well, if staring at her like a dweeb counts as talking, I did that. I don't know what it is about her and Rachel Vincent, but whenever I'm around them I have no idea how to hold a conversation. There are other authors I fan girl over and love just as equally, but dear God, I'm an idiot around those two. I also got to chat with Victoria Schwab, Jessica Spotswood, and <span itemprop="description">Tiffany Schmidt. I ended up spoiling the end of Obsidian for them while talking about jerky guys in YA. </span><br />
<br />
<span itemprop="description">The every awesome Vi and Jena were there. I got to meet Vi's family, who all were just adorable, and after the event we did dinner. Both of them will probably have some awesome swag to give away on their blogs in the near future. I stocked them up. </span><br />

The next signing I'll be doing is at the Baltimore Book Festival September 28th-30th. I'm also on some panels. I'm not sure of the time right now and I've totally forgotten what those panels are about. For that last reason alone you should come see them, because it will sure to be humorous at some point.

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I've been here before. And I have a feeling I will be here a couple more times before the year is over. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Some of you have been getting emails from B&N, Book Depository, and Amazon saying that CURSED is shipping early, like WAY early.I was hoping that it was just B&N and then it was Book Depo too and then I was like praying it wasn't Amazon also.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It is. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So if you know the drill by now, you can stop reading. If not, here it goes! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjyxaMzrHqU5riIBNH5mllmGGftSbDPCMIlCQGM6y7nqXk7W9_LWgx2FkCzAXdSqtITgyCyjX07reoIEaOMYAvq4JzRTqBybH45LYSaZBMH2reEHg6EBmlSTKBljdqWiv2esFAInmFfwTI/s1600/Cursed+dust+jacket+%25282%2529.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="176" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjyxaMzrHqU5riIBNH5mllmGGftSbDPCMIlCQGM6y7nqXk7W9_LWgx2FkCzAXdSqtITgyCyjX07reoIEaOMYAvq4JzRTqBybH45LYSaZBMH2reEHg6EBmlSTKBljdqWiv2esFAInmFfwTI/s400/Cursed+dust+jacket+%25282%2529.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
If you've pre-ordered CURSED, you may or may not receive it anytime from now until the official release date which is 9/18/2012. If you decide to order it now, you may receive it. You may not. There is no way to know. The <u><b>digital versions</b></u> most likely will NOT go live until the official release date. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
As an author, I have absolutely no control over release dates, rather it's pushed up or pushed back. That's all in the publisher and/or distributor's hands. Several things can mess with those dates. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I've gotten some questions about why this happens a lot and what it means. Sometimes when a book moves into the distributor's warehouse before the release date, the vendors can see that it's technically now "in stock" and they can start processing those orders. Normally, the book will still hold until the release date <u>or </u>should. Usually that can happen like a week before a release date and in this case, it's happening several weeks before the release date.Books typically shouldn't release this early. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But this is great news for the reader if you've been wanting to read the print version. It usually creates confusion for everyone else, lol. So I will most likely be posting to this blog when anyone has questions about why the digital version isn't available when the print is or why the print is released. I can't type all of this is Twitter. =)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Now, a little fun fact on CURSED. I wrote CURSED in 2008/2009, while I was querying Half-Blood. It was acquired in Spring of 2011 by SHP. So this little book is roughly four years in the making!<br /></div>

I told you that I had a couple of big contests lined up. And here is another one. And it's big. Let's look at the prizes first, shall we?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Did you know there was another cover for Obsidian that is near impossible to get a hold of now?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Did you know the newest print version of Obsidian is out of stock and going for another print run? Meaning, you have to wait to get a copy of Obsidian?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Did you know Wendy Higgins (author of Sweet Evil) blurb'd Onyx? </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Well....</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
