Crown of Crystal Flame
Hey all... this is just a quick post (deadline is upon me) to let you know what's up.
First, mid January, I found out my current contract (which includes Tairen Soul, The Winter King, and Bel and Gaelen's books) was sold to Avon. So I had a second change of editors and spent a lot of time on the phone with my agent, my new editor (#2) etc. (Her name is Tessa Woodward, BTW, and she sounds just lovely. I'm looking forward to working with her - and with Avon.)
The second thing is, I wanted to let you know that the 5th and final book in the TAIREN SOUL series has undergone a Change of its own. since moving to Avon. The book has a new name. It will now be called CROWN OF CRYSTAL FLAME.
B-but why? Well, basically, the marketing masters at Avon thought CCF would be more appealing to new readers than TAIREN SOUL, since no one who hasn't read the books will know what a Tairen Soul is (which, incidently, is the exact same reason Dorchester changed the name of my manuscript, TAIREN SOUL, to LoFL and LoLS).
Sorry for the confusion. But I'm growing rather fond of the new title, especially considering all the book elements it plays upon - Ellysetta's crown, Soul Quest crystals, tairen flame, and a big surprise.
Third, there is a release date for CCF posted on the online bookstores, but since I promised my readers I wouldn't announce it myself until after I turned the book in, I've been keeping mum on the subject. Once I turn the book in, I'll make an official announcement to everyone on my announcement list - and here on the website.
And now...back to my computer. Ellie

Oh noes!!!!!!
