[hr][/hr]Most of you already know that as The Sending is no longer the final book in the Obernewtyn Chronicles (The Red Queen will be the final book), the launch for The Sending won't be the huge Melbourne masked ball event that had been whispered about for a few years. The masked ball is still being planned - and it is still intended to be the celebration of the final book in the Obernewtyn Chronicles. For The Sending, I've heard from Isobelle's PA Heather today regarding a number of exciting appearances we have to look forward to in late October / early November. Some have already been announced here, and some haven't, but there's plenty of notice now for everyone to get planning! Note: This publicity tour also includes the launch of Isobelle Carmody & Nan McNab's "Wicked Wood", Tales from the Tower Part 2. The launch is free but they are requesting you book from the number listed below.
