I usually talk about perky, fun things on this blog, but I get so many heartfelt emails from you, my readers, that I feel like I can talk about non-perky unfun things here too.

A lot of you have responded to the topic of loss and grief that Kate has to face with her parents’ death in Book 1. And then at the very end of Book 2, she is once again faced with another loss. I’ve gotten at least 500 tweets, FB messages and emails from you saying that you cried at the end of UNTIL I DIE. (And I have been dispensing virtual Kleenexes non-stop since release date, it seems.)

And bringing you today’s huge news…I finished final edits of IF I SHOULD DIE…the last book of the DIE FOR ME trilogy!  !!!   !!!   !!!

(No, I will not give you a quote or deleted scene from Book 3. Book 2 has only been out a month in English speaking countries. And you have not yet bought it for your sister or brother or mom or best friend. Which you could do right now. But…if enough of you actually do buy it in the next week, I might be tempted to give you a couple of lines from IF I SHOULD DIE Chapter 1. 🙂 )

ANYWAY…

For our “I finished the end of the trilogy” celebration, here is a scene that was cut from Book 2. READ MORE…

Patricia, me, and my French editor.

Hurray! Someone got photos of my talk at the Welcome to Mystic Falls 2 convention! (So now I have proof. 😉 )

Reading my book in French for the very first time!

Francesca, French blogger extraordinaire, gave her account of the event and summarized my answers to some of the questions asked. Click here to read it.

(Francesca’s the one holding the “Vincent Loves Kate” sign in my book trailer.)
Thanks so much, Francesca, for the pics and the account of how it all went down!
