Parties & Potions is now out! And you can listen to it right here!

Yup. Parties & Potions is finally available in stores. Yay!

What it’s about…

Perfect hair, cute clothes, healthy tans–life’s a ball when you’re a witch! This year Rachel and Miri are both debuting at a magical party called a Samsorta, a debutante ball for witches.

And it wouldn’t be a ball without warlocks. Cute ones. Like sweet and charming Adam.
Of course, Rachel is madly in love with her boyfriend, Raf.

Rachel knows Raf likes her. Maybe even, gulp, loves her. But Raf doesn’t know her secret.
Unlike Adam, Raf doesn’t know who she really is. And she can never tell him.
Or can she?

You can even listen to most of the first chapter right Parties & Potions.

So right now the book is available in the US, in Canada, and it should also be available in the UK and in Australia. But for those of you in the UK and Australia, you’re looking for the American version of the book. It’s the hardcover, Magic in Manhattan version. My UK publisher is not publishing another All About Rachel book but my American publisher came to the rescue and is shipping their version abroad. If anyone sees the book in the UK or Australia, will ya let me know? Thanks. :)

Thanks to Ally Carter and everyone else for coming to the live launch chat yesterday! It got really busy and my chatroom got really cranky, so I appreciate everyone hanging in there.

Also, now that I have this cool, new, seriously easy to use blog, I will try to write updates more frequently. Yes, I no I’ve said that before, but this time I mean it.

Also, you can leave comments! So please do. Because otherwise I’ll think that no one is reading.

Happy holidays everyone!

Hugs & wishes,

Sarah

Want a personalized PARTIES & POTIONS bookplate for the holidays?

Since some of you have asked me about getting Parties & Potions signed for holiday gifts (it comes out on December 23rd) I set up a mailbox to make this happen.

(What’s a bookplate? It’s a sticker you can stick into your copy of Parties & Potions! And it’s free!)

Want one?

Here’s what to do:

Send a letter and include a SASE (a self-addressed stamped envelope) to:

Sarah Mlynowski, 1397 Second Avenue #130, NY NY 10021

Please tell me who I should sign the bookplate for. I’m also happy to personalize a few in the same letter if you want one for yourself or if you’re getting a Magic in Manhattan book for everyone on your holiday list. :)

Make sure to put the right address and postage on the self-addressed stamped envelope or you won’t get the bookplate/s because the letter will come back to me or get lost.

You may also want to include your e-mail address in the note in case of problem…

At the moment, this only works if you use American postage on your SASE. If you live in Canada, or Australia or anywhere else, your self-addressed stamped envelope has to have an American stamp to make it back to you. Sorry about that!

If you work in a bookstore, or are a teacher or a librarian and would like a bunch of signed bookplates for your readers/students, I’m happy to send a stack your way, just e-mail me:sarah at sarahmlynowski.com or in the contact section of this website.

Happy holidays!
