Things to Look Forward to in the Near Future

So much stuff coming up. I’ll be honest and say it’s pretty hard for me to focus on anything other than The Dark Knight Rises premiere in just over 24 hours, but I’m working on it.

This is the life-size cardboard cutout of Bane (Tom Hardy) from The Dark Knight Rises that currently resides in my music room.

Here’s some of the fun stuff. I’ve got up the current list for Under the Seapalooza blog tour dates. I will be adding more links and giveaways as time goes on, because I know I’m forgetting stuff. But there’s the current dates.

If you don’t know, Under the Seapalooza is a blog tour to celebrate the release of Wake (coming out August 7th), with lots of guest posts, giveaways, sneak peaks, and all sorts of fun stuff. More details are to come, but Under the Seapalooza starts Monday, so check it out!

In addition to the blog tour, I’ll also be doing a physical book tour going to 11 cities across the US doing signings and a couple Q&As, and even several panels at LeakyCon in Chicago. For more information on the tour, click: here or check the Events tab at the top of the blog.

So, tomorrow, starting at 6 pm, I’m going to see all three movies the Dark Knight trilogy in IMAX, ending with the premiere of The Dark Knight Rises at midnight. Then I’m going to The Dark Knight Rises again in IMAX at 8:00 pm on Friday, resulting in me seeing the film twice in a 24-hour-period, and dragging poor Eric along with me. I don’t know if I’ve ever been more excited for anything in my entire life.

I’ll probably be blogging about my viewing experience this weekend, but I’ll keep at as spoiler free as possible. Because that’s how I roll.

Also, starting next week, I’ll be releasing some pretty awesome stills from the Wake book trailer, leading up to the premiere on July 31st.

So, that’s all for now. Keep an eye out for giveaways and other fun stuff on the blogosphere, and I hope to see many of you at the book tour in August.

    Hello, Amanda! We got a buzz some months ago that you were coming to Brazil to attend São Paulo Book Fair to release Wake (Despertar to us (in Brazilian Portuguese) – we already got a cover http://a1.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc6/179572_483209331695041_1518604024_n.jpg) and because Wake is going to be released at same time with other countries including the USA – what is rare to happen – I decided to come here and ask you about it. I hope it’s true but I’ve seen nothing about this it the event session of your blog – the fair is held in August…
    Greetings from Brazil and I’m eager reading Despertar…

  • Hi Amanda, your success story was one of the main reasons I decided to take the plunge and publish my ebook on Amazon this past Wednesday. Thanks for the inspiration!

  • Can’t wait for Dark Kinght Roses. Best of luck with your blog tour and can’t wait for the Wake trailer.

    I live in down town Chicago and do not have a car to make it to Naperville. I was wondering if there will be a signing at LeakyCon? Do you have any limitations of what you will sign?

    I really look forward to meeting you!
