AVANTASIA vocalist Amanda Somerville has checked in with the following update:

"Hey there, Dearies-

FINALLY something is happening on amandasomerville.com! We've got a couple of pages up, and we're slowly but surely getting things in place. I'll let you know once it's in full swing, but for now it's just going to be directing you to the main sites I'm on and you can also email me and sign up for my newsletter (click either my name or my logo).

AND you can finally buy my CDs once again. Yay! Just click on the last little button that's my logo where it says 'Buy CDs.' It took forever to get those PayPal buttons set up, but I think it's all set now! There are two buttons: one for those of you in North, Central and South America and one for the rest of the world.

Within the next few days, we're going to make Windows available for pre-order. How exciting, eh? Yes, we're THAT CLOSE!!! I'll be announcing that once we're that far.

My CDs are not available in any stores; you can only get them directly from me. I also don't have that many left and once they're gone, they're gone! You can listen to clips on Snocap or iTunes and you can also purchase them digitally on those sites, but the physical CDs are only available through my site (and Blue Nothing is available on CDBaby.com). I get gazillions of emails from people wanting to know where / how they can buy my CDs. Well, this is it, folks!

Now, on to some more fun stuff: there are now several Amanda Somerville fan sites out there. I'd like to thank all of you for your efforts in spreading the love and tidings of all things Somerville.For those of you who haven't yet seen the sites and would like to join the ranks, please do so.

Thank you to Emanuel, Emily, Tessa and all the other super awesome peeps once again for your efforts, love & support!

So, you'll be hearing from me again soon. I'm going on a girlie vacation with Simone (Simons/EPICA) for a few days and then look forward to seeing some of you at the shows I'll be doing with Epica next week. Take care and warm fuzzies to you from a very fall-ish Wolfsburg!"
