Frostbite release and the MCM

Gosh, I have so much to write about, including my time at Camcon and Kapow! But I'll have to do roundups after conseason madness.

Yes, it's time! Those of you in Australia and New Zealand - I hope you're enjoying your copies, we'll join you soon!

From what I'm hearing, there has been all sorts of a frenzy of confusion over at Penguin HQ in New York, with Frostbite copies actually selling out from the warehouse on pre-orders alone. You guys are all sorts of amazing *hug*

The book is currently being re-printed. As far as I know, if you pre-ordered a copy, you'll be getting yours on release, tomorrow. The rest of us, myself included, will have to wait for the reprint, haha! XD

I'll be at the MCM Expo event in London this Fri-Sunday. Alas, I'm not sure I'll have Frostbite copies with me to sell...but if you managed to get one, do feel free to bring it along and I'll scrawl something pretty on it :) What I will have is just 9 copies of a limited run A3 print featuring snippets of Frostbite.

After the show I'll be hopefully opening up online sales for posted copies of the print. Again, these will be limited, so if you want one reserved, let me know. ^_^ I'll post up the image when I'm back from the event.

I'll also have three new non-Vampire Academy prints at the event: The Mermaid, the Goggles and a limited Avalon Chronicles one! Not to mention the book of Avalon Chronicles itself - which is just gorgeous and shiny and gold! Plus some very funky postcards at just £2 each. So do come find me at the Sweatdrop area towards the back of the ComicVillage. Say hi and take a look at some shiny stock. ^_^

Previews and travels ^_^

First up, I posted up a second spread of previews for the fast-approaching Frostbite graphic novel yesterday on my DeviantArt account ^_^
Remember, the  book is out in May and is already available for pre-order. Thanks to you guys, the first book made it into the NYT bestsellers list and nabbed itself the Goodreads GN of the year prize, and we can't thank you enough. Let's hope Frostbite is a worthy follow up! ^_^

In my travels: Nexy Thursday I'll be in London at the Charing Cross branch of Blackwells for the amazing sounding Gothic evening! A host of creators, myself included, a discussion on gothic literature and comics (including Vampire Academy, of course) and Rum! What more can we ask for? The wonderful Kitschies awards will be hosting the event and it's open to all! So do come along ^_^

And then, a little later in the month, I'll be heading to Spain! Watch out, Madrid, UK comics are coming ^_^ And what a great lineup!
I'm honoured to be a part of this British Council-run event. I'll be there discussing a career in comics, how exciting and varied it can be, and of course giving some love to Manga Shakespeare, Vampire Academy, the Avalon Chronicles and, well....maaaanny comics ^_^
