Hello, my lovely readers! Today marks the end of my World of Shadows launch tour. Did you get a chance to visit all my friends over the tour? If not, you can follow the links here to catch up: To start our tour, author Zara Hoffman hosted me to talk about the dream that inspired World of Shadows in my guest post "What's in a Dream." Laura shared a fan trailer she made for the book at her blog, Hope Through the Pages. Then she interviewed me ! A music-loving Mennonite friend published the first review of my book at Singing Menno. Another friend shared an excerpt from the first chapter of World of Shadows at Marvelous Happy Things. Alexa at Verbosity Reviews invited me over to discuss the elements of my own life I wrote into this book in my guest post "Finding Me in a World of Shadows." At Pens and Scrolls, I dream-cast the stars I'd choose if World of Shadows ever made it to the big screen. Mariella posted another excerpt at...

Good afternoon, my lovely readers! Today is the day! The moment is here. Are you ready? In this urban fantasy retelling of Beauty and the Beast, modern-day teenager Beila Durand is plagued by nightmares that lead her to discover - and wind up trapped in - a cursed underground world. The invisible people that live in this medieval village depend on Beila learning the truth behind their curse - and why she is the only one who can set them free. In her quest for answers, however, all she seems to find are more questions. Where do the echoing screeching at night originate? Who is the isolated man that speaks with Beila from the shadows of his cloak? What does this New York girl have to do with any of it? And will she ever find a way back home? It's time to blog party! Here's our lineup: Dec. 11 - Kick-Off - You're here! Dec. 12 - What's in a Dream - Zara Hoffman Dec. 13 - Fan Trailer - Hope Through the Pages Dec. 14 - Interview - Hope Through the Page...

Hello, my lovely readers! I come to you today with more updates on my new young adult novel World of Shadows ! The book launches on December 11, a date that's approaching quickly. Are you ready? I am! First of all: World of Shadows is available for Kindle preorder now on Amazon! This is so exciting! I can't wait until I hold the paperback in my hands, but I've already seen the Kindle copy on my ancient first generation Kindle. I love it! I made a promo banner for my Facebook! Next order of business: the blog tour! Starting right here on Sunday, December 11, aka launch day, I and some of my book blogging friends will be hosting a blog tour. It's been a while since I've run a tour of my own, but I do so love how like a party it is - a party where you can stay at home and wear pajamas! Some of the bloggers you might recognize as old friends here at Emily Rachelle Writes . We have some new names participating this year, too. I'm hyped. Are you hyped...

In her quest for answers, however, all she seems to find are more questions. Where do the echoing screeches at night originate? Who is the isolated man that speaks with Beila from the shadows of his cloak? What does this New York girl have to do with any of it? And will she ever find a way back home?  To help support World of Shadows ' release, check out my Thun derclap campaign !

I know most of my recent posts have just been updates, but I have a few more things to let you all know, lovely readers, before we move on to meatier posts. Thanks for having patience with me. :) The day I bought fake tattoos and Augusta and I made ourselves into The Chosen Ones First of all: don't forget to enter the giveaway for a paperback copy of Sixteen ! Open to all countries; ends on Saturday, November 8. Next up: so far, the Inkshares project for World of Shadows is not going well at all. It's disappointing, I'll admit, but I wasn't really sure what to expect, so it's not a huge deal. If I don't make it to my goal, I'll just go back to my original plan of self-publishing World of Shadows through the same process I used with Sixteen . Either way, it will be on virtual shelves before 2015 ends! Third: Disclaimer: Yes, I am completely mental. But I decided on the day it started to go ahead and try NaNoWriMo again this year.
