I'm happy to confirm that it's true.<br />
<br />
Two new projects are afoot.<br />
<br />
YA fans can expect three new novels that follow the events of BLOODROSE, the first book, <a href="http://www.indiebound.org/book/9780399164224" target="_blank">SNAKEROOT</a>, will be in stores December 10 of this year!<br />
<br />

<br />
For fans of adult romance and erotica, I'm stepping into the dark waters of the Forbidden Nightshade series. These new novels tell steamy tales of forbidden romance and dark magic (note to younger fans: these are R-rated books, be aware of contented intended for mature readers.)<br />
<br />
The first Forbidden Nightshade novel, <a href="http://www.indiebound.org/book/9780525954118" target="_blank">CAPTIVE</a>, will be in stores October 22. I'm running a contest now to spread the word about this new series - because it is intended for a different audience than my YA books I'm writing CAPTIVE and its companions under the name A.D. Robertson. If you'd like to keep up to date on news about the erotic romance series you can find the latest news on Twitter @adrwrites and on the A.D. Robertson Facebook page.<br />
<br />
Both books are already available for pre-order (hint ;) ) <br />

So I thought it would be fun to share today's fangirl moment of my own. <br />
<br />
I love television shows that feature smart writing and compelling characters. I've long said that Joss Whedon taught me to how to write dialogue and pace plots. Though not a Joss project (though it often felt like one), Veronica Mars is an all-time favorite show of mine. The characters and storyline are amazing; the writing brilliant.<br />
<br />
<iframe frameborder="0" height="360" src="http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/559914737/the-veronica-mars-movie-project/widget/video.html" width="480"> </iframe> <br />
<br />
So today when Twitter exploded with the news of a <a href="http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/559914737/the-veronica-mars-movie-project?ref=live" target="_blank">Kickstarter-funded Veronica Mars movie</a>, I was over the moon. So much so that I funded the project and if it meets its goal, I will be an extra in the film. This is officially the most I've ever indulged in fandom, but Veronica Mars on the big screen is well worth it. Hopefully this summer I'll have 'my day on the movie set' stories to share!<br />

<br />
I'm so excited for readers to meet new characters, share their adventures, and learn more about the Nightshade world.<br />
<br />
Some highlights about the release:<br />
<br />
1) You can read RIFT even if you haven't read the Nightshade series yet. This is a new story and while it's set in the same world as Nightshade it stands alone as a novel. For fans of the Nightshade trilogy, RIFT will answer many questions about how the Witches War began.<br />
<br />
2) Special edition: Wal-Mart is offering an exclusive edition of RIFT that includes a short story "Restless Blood" about what Logan Bane is up to following the events of BLOODROSE.<br />
<br />
3) Speaking of BLOODROSE - it's out in paperback today!<br />
<br />
4) Launch party! Tonight at 6 p.m. I'll be signing RIFT at <a href="http://www.booksofwonder.com/events080712.asp" target="_blank">Books of Wonder</a>.<br />
<br />
5) Want signed books but can't make the party? <a href="http://www.booksofwonder.com/prodinfo.asp?number=S135860" target="_blank">Books of Wonder is offering specials on your orders of signed Nightshade books.</a> Contact them and they'll get signed copies to you!<br />

Thank you so much for continuing to share the joy of reading and writing with me! Hope to see you at a tour stop soon!Andrea Cremerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03326332737401772239noreply@blogger.com39tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3320387264034521574.post-5213850791230373322012-07-25T09:13:00.002-05:002012-07-25T10:23:34.179-05:00RIFT FAQsOn August 7 RIFT will be in stores! I can't wait for readers to dive into this new tale. In anticipation of the book's release here are some answers to frequent questions I've been getting about the book:<b> </b><br />
<br />
<b>What is RIFT about?</b><br />
<br />
RIFT reveals the origins of the Witches War - the conflict in which Calla and her pack are fighting in the Nightshade trilogy. RIFT follows the story of Ember Morrow, a sixteen-year-old girl who is drawn into the dangerous world of the secret order known as Conatus.<br />
<br />
<b>Will the characters from Nightshade appear in RIFT? </b><br />
<br />
<a href="http://img2.imagesbn.com/images/162160000/162161814.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://img2.imagesbn.com/images/162160000/162161814.JPG" width="212" /></a>The Witches War began in 15th century in Europe, so unless Calla happens upon a time machine while running through the Colorado wilderness (spoiler: she doesn't) RIFT features a new cast of characters with one exception - and I don't want to give away who that is!<br />
<br />
<b>Do I have to read the Nightshade trilogy to understand or enjoy RIFT? </b><br />
<br />
Not at all, though I hope you will check out the original Nightshade books! RIFT functions as a stand-alone novel that complements, but doesn't rely on the events of Nightshade. For those readers who are already fans of Nightshade, RIFT and RISE (January 2013) will answer many questions about the war, magic, and history of Calla's world. <a href="http://mundiemoms.blogspot.com/2012/07/book-review-rift-by-andrea-cremer.html" target="_blank">Check out this review from Mundie Moms to see why they think RIFT hits the mark!</a><br />
<br />

As a northern girl who has scoffed at television images of Californians donning sweaters when it got 'cold,' I must concede my error. It has been cool this weekend, and while it's not frigid like Minnesota I have indeed wanted a coat most days that I'm here. Even though it's not sunbathing temps, I've still taken great joy in walking on the beach at sunset.<br /><br />It's the middle of my BLOODROSE tour and I want to send a huge thank you to everyone I've seen on the trip!<br /><br />I have two stops left: <a href="http://www.puddnheadbooks.com/event/andrea-cremer-author-event">Tuesday in St. Louis</a> and <a href="http://www.octaviabooks.com/event/andrea-cremer-bloodrose">Friday in New Orleans</a>.

I'll admit that I have very mixed feelings about BLOODROSE going into the wild. On the one hand I'm thrilled that the final book of the Nightshade series will be in readers' hands. I can't wait until you see what happens and I hope you revel in the adventure as much as I did.<br /><br />On the other hand I cried a lot (seriously, a lot) while writing this book. It's a journey coming to a close. And while there will be more stories set in the world of Nightshade, this particular story does have its ending. That's a bittersweet reality that I'm still coming to grips with.<br /><br />In the last hours before BLOODROSE arrives, there are a couple of things I want to mention.<br /><br />1) <a href="http://blurredhistory.blogspot.com/2011/08/wants-vs-needs.html">My post about endings. It's the best answer I can offer about everything that happens.</a><br /><br />2) My donation to Defense of Wildlife. Your support is invaluable: Here are the details for what' I'm doing: Because I'm committed to advocating for wolves, I've decided to tie in BLOODROSE to this action: <span style="font-weight: bold;">for every picture of a reader and her/his new copy of BLOODROSE that is sent to me via email, Facebook, or Twitter</span> I will make a $2 <a href="%3Ciframe%20width=%22560%22%20height=%22315%22%20src=%22http://www.youtube.com/embed/25OC3m5QdYY%22%20frameborder=%220%22%20allowfullscreen%3E%3C/iframe%3E">donation to Defenders of Wildlife</a>.<br /><br />And to up the stakes: If in its first days of release BLOODROSE climbs into the top 10 of the <a href="http://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/bloodrose-andrea-r-cremer/1103627237">Barnes and Noble</a> (and remember that B&N has an exclusive edition with additional content!) and/or<a href="http://www.amazon.com/Bloodrose-Nightshade-Novel-Andrea-Cremer/dp/0399256121/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1324924370&sr=8-1"> Amazon rankings</a> I'll up that donation to $3 per picture.<br /><br />And finally: Because BLOODROSE is book 3, Nightshade moves from the New York Times Chapter Book list to the notoriously-difficult-to break-into Series list. If BLOODROSE hits in the top 5 of the NYT series list I'll increase my donation to $5 per picture.<br /><br />I encourage you to support wolves and spread the word about the risks of taking gray wolves off of the endangered species list. I hope you're as excited as I am for next Tuesday. Thank you so much for sharing Calla and the packs' journeys with me!Andrea Cremerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03326332737401772239noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3320387264034521574.post-90125568166976203892012-01-01T00:00:00.000-06:002012-10-03T18:46:29.185-05:00Upcoming Appearances<br />

BLOODROSE is on sale in ONE WEEK!<br /><br />It's a good thing the holidays keep me busy lest I be tearing my hair out waiting for January 3 to arrive. (Okay, I'm still tearing my hair out a little bit, but not as much as if it hadn't been the holidays).<br /><br />Here is the last teaser before next Tuesday's release:<br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">"One thing." He leaned down to whisper in my ear. "One thing that I'd always been afraid of. I still am."</span><br /><br /><iframe src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/25OC3m5QdYY" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" width="560"></iframe><br /><br />As you've read the Nightshade series I hope it's been obvious how much I respect and admire wolves. They are beautiful, intelligent creatures with complex social relationships. If you follow environmental news, you may already know that <a href="http://action.defenders.org/site/PageServer?pagename=savewolves_learnmore"><span style="font-weight: bold;">gray wolves were recently delisted from the endangered species list</span></a>. I'm deeply troubled by this decision. <span style="font-weight: bold;">Humans and wolves have an ugly history; one that drove wolves to the brink of extinction</span>. Since the delisting, wolf hunts are already being organized in Minnesota and across the country. Killing a wolf is not a sporting act. Wolves live in deeply connected communities. To kill a single wolf is to disrupt a family, a social system.<br /><br />Because I'm committed to advocating for wolves, I've decided to tie in BLOODROSE to this action: <span style="font-weight: bold;">for every picture of a reader and her/his new copy of BLOODROSE that is sent to me via email, Facebook, or Twitter</span> I will make a $2 <a href="http://www.blogger.com/%3Ciframe%20width=%22560%22%20height=%22315%22%20src=%22http://www.youtube.com/embed/25OC3m5QdYY%22%20frameborder=%220%22%20allowfullscreen%3E%3C/iframe%3E">donation to Defenders of Wildlife</a>.<br /><br />And to up the stakes: If in its first days of release BLOODROSE climbs into the top 10 of the <a href="http://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/bloodrose-andrea-r-cremer/1103627237">Barnes and Noble</a> (and remember that B&N has an exclusive edition with additional content!) and/or<a href="http://www.amazon.com/Bloodrose-Nightshade-Novel-Andrea-Cremer/dp/0399256121/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1324924370&sr=8-1"> Amazon rankings</a> I'll up that donation to $3 per picture.<br /><br />And finally: Because BLOODROSE is book 3, Nightshade moves from the New York Times Chapter Book list to the notoriously-difficult-to break-into Series list. If BLOODROSE hits in the top 5 of the NYT series list I'll increase my donation to $5 per picture.<br /><br />I encourage you to support wolves and spread the word about the risks of taking gray wolves off of the endangered species list. I hope you're as excited as I am for next Tuesday. Thank you so much for sharing Calla and the packs' journeys with me!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://vegangrub.files.wordpress.com/2007/12/mission-wolf.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 404px; height: 268px;" src="http://vegangrub.files.wordpress.com/2007/12/mission-wolf.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a>Andrea Cremerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03326332737401772239noreply@blogger.com10tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3320387264034521574.post-56962679684738179262011-12-24T09:55:00.002-06:002011-12-24T10:01:28.050-06:00Merry ChristmasWishing you wonder and joy this season.<br /><br /><iframe src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/ubeVUnGQOIk" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" width="560"></iframe><br /><br />And for those who prefer their Christmases a bit more macabre, please enjoy this homage to Calvin and Hobbes<br /><br /><iframe src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/pq8iyhMFLYE" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" width="560"></iframe>Andrea Cremerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03326332737401772239noreply@blogger.com3
