Wow. Where DID the summer go?? But now it’s fall and there are less than two months until Mortal Heart comes out! Gad. I’m nervous and excited and ALL THE THINGS.
To get everyone in the right mood for the Mortal Heart release, my publisher will be sharing some exclusive outtakes from the book. If you’re curious about Annith, you will get a surprising glimpse into her past. (Hint: She does not have quite the sheltered background you might have imagined.) To “unlock” the scenes, we just need a few more likes on the His Fair Assassin Facebook Page. (We came kind of late to the whole Facebook page thing, so it will make my publisher very happy if you like it!)
They will also be releasing the first two chapters in the coming weeks, so stay tuned.
In other very cool news, I learned that Mortal Heart received a starred review from School Library Journal! To say I am thrilled is an understatement. I’m not linking to the review because it has a small spoiler in it, but my favorite part was this:
“LaFevers again mesmerizes her readers through the political struggles of 15th-century Brittany and the intrigues of the followers of Mortain. . . . Clear, fast-paced, dramatic prose reveals the story via short, action-packed chapters, and the expert craftsmanship of the writing is worth savoring.”
We will be announcing Mortal Heart tour dates and locations soon, but it looks like the cities I’ll be visiting this fall are Phoenix, Houston, Nashville, Raleigh, Chapel Hill, Washington D.C., Philadelphia, and Miami! Again, I’ll post the exact dates and times, etc. as soon as I have them.
And lastly, I seem to have two last ARCs to give away. (USA only. Sorry, blame those international laws and shipping costs.)
And now I must go and obsess about shopping for book tour clothes. (It is hard to overstate just how much I hate to shop!)
Welcome. I'm Robin LaFevers.
