I found this video on YouTube of some awesome BranFans getting Bran Hambric: The Farfield Curse in the mail early! A ton of people have already seen it in stores, and I know that Amazon.com shipped out a lot of their pre-orders early. If yours hasn’t arrived yet, it should be getting there by 9/9/09. Only one more day left until it’s officially out!

I love hearing from everyone in the comments and on Twitter about getting the book, too. Thanks for reporting in with all the photos 😀

As many of you might have noticed, the moon-shaped necklace is a key part of BRAN HAMBRIC: THE FARFIELD CURSE (if you look at the cover, you can see that Bran is holding it!). So, the amazing people at Sourcebooks decided to make a REAL moon necklace charm, just like in the books!

The charm is made of shiny metal and has “Hambric” on it, just like the necklace in the book. And, the best part about this: you can very easily get one FOR FREE! All the info from Sourcebooks is below:

WIN HALF MOON CHARM & EXCLUSIVE EVENT INVITATION! Anyone who posts links to the Bran Hambric Amazon.com, Barnes&Noble.com and Borders.com links on their social networking sites (ex: Facebook, Myspace, Twitter, YouTube, blog, website, etc), and posts a review of the book on one of the retail sites, will receive a Bran Hambric Half Moon necklace charm and an exclusive invitation to a Blog TV event with Kaleb, where he will reveal secrets from the next book in the series! Proof of links and reviews must be emailed to [email protected] (please put “Bran Hambric Street Team” in subject-line). Promotion ends September 30.

I have some of these awesome necklace charms coming in the mail, and I’ll have more photos of it soon! It’s kinda crazy seeing something made in real life from a story that I wrote 😀

A few months ago, an awesome BranFan named Katie Parr (from the Twilight band ‘Bella Rocks!’) wrote a song inspired by the prologue of Bran Hambric: The Farfield Curse, called “Emry’s Farewell”. The song still stands as one of my favorite songs written about the book, and in celebration of the release date, Katie is now giving the song away for FREE for a short time!

If you want to download it for free, all the info is here. If you like the song, Katie has lots of other great music on her latest album “Nostalgia” which includes a bunch of Twilight songs as well as “Emry’s Farewell”. Huge thanks to Katie for all the awesome that she put into the song!

Wowsa, it’s been forever since I’ve updated here! As some of you know, I’ve been really busy with my move to California, and for the past week I’ve been reduced to an iPhone and a tiny netbook to stay connected. My moving truck was three days late, so I’ve been sleeping on the floor of my new apartment — but now, everything is moved in, and I’ll be back to blogging as usual very soon!

Driving Through California!

Even though there’s just under a week until Bran Hambric: The Farfield Curse is supposed to be in stores on 9/9/09, some bookstores have put the book out early! I’ve been keeping up with it all on Twitter — thanks to everyone who’s been sending me photos of the book in stores and videos of it arriving via mail! I’ll have more soon on all the wonderful videos and photos I’ve been getting 😀

“Bran Hambric: The Farfield Curse” To Be In Brazil

I’m very excited to announce that BRAN HAMBRIC: THE FARFIELD CURSE, the first novel in my Bran Hambric series, will now be published in the Portuguese language in Brazil. The publisher will be Panini Brazil. I’d like to give more information about the publisher, but unfortunately I don’t speak Portuguese, so I can’t even tell if this is their official website or not!

I am extremely happy about this news, of course, which means that as of now Bran Hambric will be available in the US, UK, Canada, Russia, and now Brazil, among other countries which import. It’s always good news when another country picks it up!

If you need to find which store in your country will carry the book or has it open for preorder, visit BranHambric.com. Only 35 days left until the book is finally in stores!

During my live BlogTV show yesterday, I read the prologue of my novel Bran Hambric: The Farfield Curse to about 300 people. It was great because even though I was reading a book on a video show, I actually gained about 30 viewers by the end! Luckily, I was able to record this part of the show, for anyone who wasn’t able to make it. Hope you enjoy!

In this video I am reading from the ARC version of the book, which means it will be a little bit different when it is in stores on 9/9/09. If you’re looking to download preview chapters of the book (the four following the prologue!), head over to this page and you can read the first few chapters for free.

You can also download one of the two songs in the background of this video, titled “The Grave Of Emry Hambric”, at BranHambricMusic.com.
