  2. Hi Karen! This post popped up on my google alerts this morning and I just wanted to thank you for the announcement! As I see you're in the UK, I thought you might want to know that the manuscript is currently with UK editors and everyone seems optimistic it will be released there as well. I hope you'll enjoy "Cinder" when it comes out.

    Thanks again!

    Marissa Meyer
