Thorn Queen release in the US + Australian Tour

[Richelle Mead]

Hey guys,

I hope the summer finds you well! Here are a few quick announcements
for you. Contrary to what I'd been told, TODAY is the official
release day of Thorn Queen, #2 in the Dark Swan series and the sequel
to Storm Born. That's for the U.S. In the UK, Thorn Queen will be
out on August 13. For other countries, that series is usually an
import, so I can't say for sure when or where it'll be available.

For Australians, your Blood Promise Tour is slowly coming together,
and we have two events finalized (with many more to come):

Americans who haven't seen the tour dates in the U.S. can do so by
clicking 'Appearances' over at richellemead.com -- which also has
excerpts from Thorn Queen, Blood Promise, and all my other books!

Thanks for reading, and I'll be back as more info comes in!
