As we count down toward Last Sacrifice, I've got a couple of things to mention. First up, if you aren't in one of the cities I'll be visiting on my upcoming tour, you can still watch the kick-off signing in New York because it's being webcast live. The info you need to watch it can be found right here.

In other news, my books have gotten a number of nominations recently, which is really amazing and flattering. Thank you very much! If you're interested in voting for any of them, here are the categories/sites I'm at with the voting links:

* Spirit Bound is nominated for Goodreads Best Book of 2010 - Voting is here

* Last Sacrifice is nominated Goodreads Best Yound Adult Fantasy - Voting is here

* Spirit Bound aka Seelenruf is nominated for best foreign cover at the Urban Fantasy Cover Art Awards - Voting is here

* Spirit Bound aka Seelenruf is nominated for best fantasy book at Leserpreis, which are German book awards - Voting is here

Lastly, for those who ordered signed books from University Bookstore, I signed a bunch of orders yesterday (700!), so I'm guessing yours will ship out if it made the cut-off I'd posted earlier. Always check with the store for questions. As of the writing of this email, I'm in New York City, so I won't be able to sign mail orders for U Books until I'm back on 12/16. So, if you order personalizations, they won't ship until after I'm back in Seattle. They have a limited number of books that already have just a signature in them that you can order before I'm back, but you'll have to check for details with the store.

Okay, that's all for now. Only a handful of days left until Last Sacrifice!
