Catch the 2nd day of the UNTIL I DIE blog tour with my interview with Novel Novice and sign up to win a signed paperback of DIE FOR ME.

(And find the second secret word to create the riddle for the GRAND PRIZE!)

If you missed DAY 1, back up and find it here!

Catch the whole schedule for the blog tour here: MUNDIE MOMS.

(Feel free to grab this button for your blog and link it to: http://mundiemoms.blogspot.fr/2012/04/until-i-die-blog-tour.html)

The UNTIL I DIE blog tour has begun, and Mundie Mom, my gracious host, has posted the schedule along with the book summary and my Paris book trailer on her blog here.

Lots of prizes will be given during the tour, such as…

5 pairs of signed bookmarks with a sparkly Eiffel Tower bookmark

5 pairs of signed bookplates with one of an assortment of Eiffel Tower keychains

and
10 SIGNED PAPERBACKS OF DIE FOR ME

But the grand prize is EVEN BETTER! In each day of the blog tour you will find one or more words in bold. Collect all of them and put them together in the right order to form a riddle about UNTIL I DIE’s plot. The blog tour ends here on my blog on May 12. At that point, send me the riddle and your name will go into the hat to win this gorgeous Longchamp bag:

Why did I choose this? Because I have the SAME ONE and love it! 🙂

But that’s not all. After the complete riddle has been posted here on my blog, you will have two months to email me with the ANSWER to the riddle (after reading UNTIL I DIE). If you answer it correctly, I will send you a signed book plate to stick inside your copy of the book!

LET THE GAME BEGIN!

Day 1 of the blog tour starts with this amazing review of UNTIL I DIE on Hypable.com! (Which contains 1 word of the riddle!)

I am SO EXCITED to present to you the book trailer that I shot for UNTIL I DIE on-location in Paris!

ME! (In the dress my FB followers chose) at the end of the trailer.

Doing the actual shooting were the super-talented twins Nicolas and Amaro from Hype Vandals, while I busied myself grabbing people off the street, showing them my book, and asking them to hold a sign while we filmed them. (Not everyone said “yes”. Some even ran away from me, thinking I was trying to sell them something. I am pretty scary, you know. 😉  )

Very important note: I was able to rope in the Abercrombie models standing outside the store on the Champs Elysees – see if you can spot them!

The goal of the video was to feature Paris, which is just as important a character in the DIE FOR ME trilogy as Kate and Vincent. I tried to get locations you would love, as well as quotes that would remind you of the books.

YOU, the readers voted on the song I used (by Parachute) as well as the dress I wore in the last shot – so thank you all for participating in the making-of! I have posted both the official version and the extended version for your viewing pleasure. ENJOY!!!

I did a big interview with Miss Literati for the upcoming release of UNTIL I DIE!

You can read my answers to questions like:

How did you first get into writing?
What were the differences when writing DIE FOR ME and UNTIL I DIE?
Do you plan your sequels ahead of time?
Where do you usually write?
Where do you get your ideas for your books?

and more, here on Miss Literati!

And now for the news I’ve been dying to tell you! I have another 2-book series coming out with HarperTeen.

Here is the official announcement from yesterday’s “New Deals” section of Publisher’s Marketplace:

Author of the DIE FOR ME trilogy, Amy Plum’s JUNEAU, about a seventeen-year-old girl who has been raised to believe that her family, and the rest of their village, escaped World War III by moving to a remote area in the Alaskan wilderness – but when everyone in her village mysteriously disappears, she’s forced to set off in search of them, only to discover that her life has been a lie and there never was a third World War,

to Tara Weikum at Harper Children’s, in a good deal, for two books, for publication in Summer 2014 and Summer 2015, by Stacey Glick at Dystel & Goderich Literary Management (world English).

I’m so excited about the books, and am already in love with my characters. I can’t wait to bring you Juneau and Miles’s story. I hope you find them as amazing as I do!

HURRAY!!!
