Holiday Update

[Richelle Mead]

Hey everybody,

I hope the holiday season is treating all of you well - and that your
weather is a lot warmer than Seattle's! I'll try not to take up too
much time here, but I had a handful of announcements that I wanted to
pass on.

First up, many of you know that if you order my books from University
Bookstore in Seattle, I'll come in and autograph them (if you request
it) before the books ship out. A lot of people are doing this for
gifts, so if you're interested in that, make sure you get your orders
in soon. I'm going into the store this Monday to sign 100 or so
pending orders, and those should (knock on wood) arrive before
Christmas. I'll try to stop into the store again later in the week,
but like I said: the sooner your orders are in, the more likely
they'll make it in time for the holidays. If you get them in before I
go to U Bookstore on Monday, yours can likely get shipped out with
that batch. The info to order from them is here: http://richellemead.com/shop/shop.htm
Make sure you read all the directions! You have to tell them you want
your book(s) autographed and who you want it autographed to.

University Bookstore carries all of my titles, including new stuff
like the Vampire Academy 1-3 box set, the Immortal anthology, and the
limited edition hardcover of Vampire Academy. If you haven't heard of
the limited edition VA yet, go check out this video and see all the
crazy things it can do if you have a web cam:

It's pretty fun.

The last bit of news is that tour dates are beginning to come together
for 2010. The postponed November tour is now happening in mid-
January. I'll be visiting New York City, New Orleans, and Miami. We
almost have the stores and dates finalized, so I'll announce those as
soon as I'm able to! The other cool tour thing is that it looks like
I'll be traveling overseas again in 2010. That too is in the planning
stages, but an official announcement will be coming very soon.

Happy holidays!
