Optimism is the true Resistance.
My publisher is giving away 25 copies of DEAREST before it’s released…but the drawing only runs through October 29th so NOW’S YOUR CHANCE!
Quick! Before it’s too late!

Like you guys, I loved the cover for HERO. Loved it. Here is is again. The dragons are my favorite part:
As far as we were all concerned, this was the final cover. It is the cover of the ARC (or so I’ve been told). And then yesterday, my awesometastic editor emailed to tell me that a Professional Calligrapher (sweet job, right?) put her hand to gussying up the border around the title to make it a bit…romantic. To match Enchanted.
Here’s what it looks like now:
GORGEOUS, right? Look closely. The dragons are still there. I really wasn’t sure I could love this cover more. And yet, I do. I didn’t realize there was something missing until I saw this.
It looks especially good next to Enchanted.
Of course, now that I’ve made about 1000 postcards and magnets and banners and, yes, even an iPhone 4 case, I should probably be a little annoyed. For something so lovely, it’s really tough to stay mad.
So if you have any of that promotional material — you now have limited edition items. BONUS SWAG!
As for that iPhone 4 case…I think perhaps I’ll add it to one of the Goodreads Giveaways, since those went over so well last year with Enchanted. What do you guys think?
When my friend Mary Robinette Kowal asked me to guest post on her feature “My Favorite Bit,” I chose to feature The Wonderland Alphabet.
So when Asher from Parenormal Indulgence asked me to pick out a few of my favorite quotes from Enchanted, I jumped at the chance. It was SO MUCH FUN…and kind of hard to stop.
Are mine the same as yours?

Wanna win a copy of AlphaOops: H is for Halloween?
I’m giving one away! Go sign up on Goodreads!
I even have this handy-dandy widget:
Be sure to tell your friends!
Happy Halloween!
Much to my dismay (and yours, I know), ENCHANTED won’t be out in stores until May 8th of 2012. It seems like a long time to wait, doesn’t it?
Of course, in this day and age, we have a lot of other ways to get our fix for books we can’t wait to read (like Tamora Pierce’s and Robin McKinley’s next books).
If you can’t wait to read ENCHANTED, you can always read “The Unicorn Hunter,” which is the backstory for the character Ashes-on-the-Wind. Who is Ashes? Well, she doesn’t appear in ENCHANTED, but her story is integral to the Woodcutter Universe. Which means you just have to pick up John Skipp’s DEMONS anthology and find out!
You can also go onto Goodreads and click on ENCHANTED as a book you’d like to read. My friend (fellow author Cassie Alexander) brought this to my attention last week. I checked, and as of this morning, 546 people have marked ENCHANTED as to-read! I have to say, this far away from the release date, I was floored by the response. So was my publisher. So THANKS , GUYS! YOU ROCK!
The third thing is one of my favorite places to play: Twitter! Leanna was telling me about the random giveaways she does when she reaches certain landmarks of followers…I think this is a great idea! I’m almost to 1900 followers right now — when I reach2000, I’ll give away a print collection of my short stories. How does that sound? But you must be following me on Twitter to enter! Look for the tweet to RT…I’ll be posting it soon!
