NaNoWriMo Starts Tomorrow - Are YOU Ready?

Tomorrow kicks off the 2011 National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo).  I'm accepting the challenge again.  Maybe THIS will be the year I actually complete a 50,000 word rough draft of a book in one month!


Are any of the rest of you participating in NaNoWriMo?

New German Cover for LORD OF THE FADING LANDS

My German publisher, Bastei Lübbe, has just re-released the German translation of Lord of the Fading Lands ( Im Bann des Elfenkönigs) with a new cover to match the others. It's beautiful, and 1,000 times better than the original German cover!

Check it out:

Old German Cover New German Cover

The Tairen Soul quintet now looks like this:

Lord of the
Fading Lands		 Lady of Light
and Shadows		 King of
Sword and Sky		Queen of
Song and Souls		 Crown of
Crystal Flame

I don't know about you, but I love these covers.  Well done, Bastei Lübbe!

Thanks to Junno for her comment on my Crown of Crystal Flame Goes German blog post for alerting me to the new cover.

Fan Letter Blog Crawl - Fabulous Tairen Soul Love from Leontine's Book Realm

Leontine Roodakker is without a doubt one of the most passionate supporters of romance novels in all the Netherlands.  She and I met in cyberspace in the summer of 2007, just before the first book in my Tairen Soul series, and we've been friends ever sicne. 

Very active on Goodreads, a delightful blogger, and just an all around wonderful person, Leontine contacted me yesterday to let me know that she is participating in an "Author Fan Letter Blog Crawl" in which participants have the opportunity to celebrate their favorite authors.  Much to my suprise and delight, Leontine chose to write her letter to me :)

Please take a moment to stop by Leontine's blog and read her post and follow the blog crawl to find other authors whose work you may enjoy.  And if you would, take a minute to drop Leontine a line, maybe even friend her on Goodreads or follow her blog.  If you love books as much as I do (and even half as much as she does) you will love Leontine!
