If you’re like me and love the music, the artist’s name is Zola Jesus and if you live in Australia, you can see her live sometime this month.

It was so wonderful to finally meet Justine Eyre, the incredibly talented actress who has been the voice of all the audiobooks in the Fallen Series. Her genuine Passion for my stories was touching and heartfelt, and I love the pure and enthusiastic soul she has brought to her readings.

While I was there we took some video of the special Q and A that will be a feature at the end of the audiobook. She asked some great questions and I had some pretty revealing answers…

Watch the video to get a sneak peek!

Lauren

Furthermore A HUGE thanks to all the other fans who sent in submissions for books, you had such wonderful ideas which made it a terribly tough (practically impossible!) decision to just pick six.

…But never fear! This is not the last chance you’ll have to help out, as I get more copies of foreign language editions of the series I’ll be back again looking for more amazing helpers.

You guys warm my heart every second of every day; keep writing, keep reading, and keep chasing after what/who you love!

All my best,

Lauren

The original post about looking for International promoters had the wrong email! Please send all submissions to laurenkatebooks@gmail.com

Goodness! Clearly someone needs to amp up the coffee intake.

Sorry for the confusion – and because of my mistake, I’ll be extending the time for submissions by a week.

So send away and I’ll announce my choices on Monday April 10th!

xo,
Lauren

Thank you all,

How ’bout Holland? Germany? Italy? …Brazil maybe? Portugal? Italian speaking Switzerland perchance?!

If you answered yes, do you also think you have what it takes to promote Fallen abroad?

I have a whole stack of foreign language editions that need good homes. So I’m looking for a few dedicated and passionate fans from the countries mentioned above (as well as any other countries that Speak Spanish – though I also have copies in Catalan as well, so never fear my lovely fans from Barcelona!)

Here’s how it works: email me at laurenkatebooks@gmail.com with your name, age, occupation or grade/what you want to be when you grow up, and a short explanation of why you’d be great at promoting fallen. Who would you give the books to? Why? Maybe you have a school library that could use some work, or perhaps your mom works at a children’s hospital where patients need cheering.

Or maybe you just want your family to understand what all the Fallen fuss is about.

Whatever the reason, the fans I choose will be sent a whole bundle of books to distribute as they’ve described plus one or two goodies of their own, so get excited and start emailing! Submissions close on the last day of this month, March 31st!

xo,
Lauren
