    <content type="html">I know I just posted. But I wanted to keep this one separate as it deals with time sensitive stuff. First of all, BALLAD is now out! That means the awesome contest &lt;a href="http://m-stiefvater.livejournal.com/128429.html"&gt;that involves a critique from the Merry Sisters of Fate and all kinds of swag &lt;/a&gt;is fair game. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Secondly, a reminder that the Ballad launch party is in Richmond, VA at the &lt;a href="http://www.fountainbookstore.com/"&gt;Fountain Bookstore&lt;/a&gt;, on October 8th from 6:30-8:30 p.m. Not only will you have the added bonus of seeing my absolute favorite little indie bookstore (it looks just like an indie bookstore in a movie), but if you call ahead to reserve a copy of Ballad there, you'll get a signed frame from the trailer at the launch. This thing: &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;lj-embed id="29" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Their number is: (804) 788-1594.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And finally, yes, I finally have a bookstore signing for my UK trip set! I'll be at the Golden Treasury (tel: 020 8333 0167)) in London on October 15th, from 4:15-5:30. Please let them know that you're coming! I'll be bringing a couple Ballads, which aren't available in the UK, and I'll give them out to the first two people who reserve copies of Shiver at the store. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I think . . . I think that's it for now. Live long and prosper. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a title="hits counter" href="http://www.statcounter.com/free_hit_counter.html" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://c.statcounter.com/3881827/0/1603c33f/1/" alt="hits counter" border="0"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;</content>
