I'm alive! I promise!!
In fact, I'm just about done with revisions and then I will be more or less around . . . for three weeks till Spells comes out.:) This is my busy season! Luckily, I also tend to blog pretty well while on tour, so hopefully everything will just get better with the blog.:D
Okay, I've been promising you guys tour cities and dates for a while and, finally, here you go!

In addition, I will be in Toronto, Canada the last week of May doing a Supernatural Summer tour with Harper Canada. Those dates and locations aren't firm yet, but I will add them to the list when they are.
I am also hoping to do an LA event this summer, but I'm still working on that.:)
All of these events plus locations, addresses, etc. are all on my website in the calendar section here.
So, like I said, I've been finishing up revisions, and this last week is just for reading through and polishing little nit-picky things.:D So, I knew that the manuscript was getting longer as I worked, (I always have to add in edits!) but it wasn't until I finished that first pass that I realized just how much longer.
50 pages longer.
On top of that, I have a file that I have been putting big chunks of text into that I cut and/or moved. After all of the copy/pasting was done, that file was still 33 pages long. So technically, I have added EIGHTY completely new pages to book three in the last five weeks.
What is wrong with me?!?!?!
They're good pages, they really are. It's just a little mind-boggling. I'm not quite sure how that happened. But hopefully my editor is happy with them.
And hopefully they aren't boring . . .
Hopefully.
:D
Ciao!

Wow. Adding 80 pages is amazing! Can't wait to read it.

You're not going to be anywhere near me, really, b/c I'm not making the 3-hour drive to Kansas City. but I think it's great that you have such an awesome tour ahead of you!
Yay!!!!
Your coming to the Borders in Texas right by my house!!! Oh I am so excited to meet you and have you sign my book!!!
Come to Sweden to!
I'm sure it's not boring. I never want the goo books to end so 80 extra pages is super :)
Skipping up north again HMPH!

Glad to hear the rewrites are going well! I am sooooo excited for Spells!
Keep up the GREAT work April!
That is a busy season! Sounds like a fun one. A lot of middle states in there...
Have fun on tour. I hope you get to meet a ton of fans!
Wow! What a schedule. I've done book tours, but yours beats mine. BUT hey, isn't it great to do something you love and meet all those wonderful people who buy your books? That's a good kind of tired.
80 extra pages= 80 extra pages of sweetness!!! May 13 YES!!!! I sadly no longer live in Utah but my mom will go for me!! She goes to book signings for me and then tells me all about them. :) I live through her.
Hopefully I can come see you again at TKE in SLC. Can you believe book 2 is already coming out?? Wow! It's so exciting! Way to go on all those revisions. I'm sure the extra pages will be great. :-)
I'm waiting for my first revision letter from my agent, and I can't wait to see how it goes!
I'm with Juju. No Florida? What the crap? COME TO FLORIDA!
Uhhhh
let's ALSO talk about MY dismay at how there are not NEW YORK dates in there. sob.
Are you really coming to Kansas City, KS? That's my city. I'll see you there.
OH OH PLEEEEEEEEASE come to LA I live right near there and will DEFINETELY come if you come!! PLEEEEEASE PLEEEEEASE PLEEEEEEEEEEEASE You are a favorite of both me and my mom, so I am sure I can talk her into it without a problem. HA!
Wow, 80 new pages?! No worries, I'm sure your editor will love them! Sounds like you're going to have a very busy spring. Enjoy!
Thats fun! Is there any other places you are going to go to in the near future, or is this it for now?
Oh! Thats fun! I hope that you can come up to Michigan someday... :D
I just realised my friend got on and posted right b4 me... TurkeyBait IMPOSTER, I'm onto you! Btw, you spelt TURKEY wrong. Haha, and don't go stealing my nickname on MY COMPUTER.

So excited to get my book signed!
EEP!! YOURE COMING TO DALLAS!! FINALLY 1 OF MY FAVE AUTHORS IS COMING:)
-SOPHIE D
That's so cool! you've already been editing your THIRD BOOK?!!!
That's awesome! I can't wait for SPELLS! and whatever the THIRD book is called and the FOURTH! man I love writing and reading and especially about FAERIES!
I so wish you would come to Australia(NSW) Aprilynne :) I'm a member of LDS as well and it would be amazing to meet a member author -sigh- thank you, your my inspiration and when I write my book i'll put you in my acknowledgements :D love B
80 pages is perfect! When I finished reading Wings the only thing I thought was that I wished it had been longer so I could stay in the world of Tamani just a bit more. Tell your editor that I approve whole heartedly!
WOW!!!! Eighty more pages?!!! How awesome is that?!!!! Can't wait to read it!!!! I heard that you are going to be in Dallas, Tx. on the third of June!!!! I really wish I could come and see you, but unfortunately I can't!!! :-( I live in amarillo tx. and won't be able to make it!!!! Even if I didn't have anything going on the third of june, I'm not so sure if my grandparents would be willing to drive me all the way to Dallas!! Can't drive yet!!!!!! :-(
I've already read wings and cannot wait to read spells!!!!!!! I have a lot of favorite authors and out of all of them, you're one who has inspired me to be a writer when i grow up Aprillyne!!!!! When I get my first novel published, I'm so going to add you in my acknowledgements!!!!
I loved your book and cannot wait to read spells!!!!! I really hope that some day soon you will be able to come to amarillo!!!!! I really hate it that I can't come to dallas!!!!!!!
I'm SO beyond thrilled that there will be a book three! I wish I was at the revision stage with my manuscript. I'm still in the first draft, trying so hard to get it finished so I can GET to the revision stage!
Can't wait to read Spells. When is book 3 supposed to be out?
Hey Aprylinne!!! If you're reading this, I've always wanted to write fantasy fiction!!! Got any tips?!!! Should I write down any ideas that i come up with incase i forget?!!!!
No one ever comes to western Canada. Good luck with the tour.
Yay!!! You are coming to Idaho Falls!!! My friends and I are HUGE fans!!! Good job on the eighty pages!
Cant wait to see you again :D Just finished spells! (less than 24 hrs to read it all xD) i wish you wouldnt sell film right to disney but hey its your book :] really loving the series :D
