I got this one too! How exciting!
Did a quick Google search and found http://mythofobjects.wordpress.com/
Just looks like a biography for Ella and Sophia. It goes into some small detail about their parents who went missing when they were teenagers, which I assume is setting up the story that will be released on the main site in serial format. I shall continue digging.

The first line of the ciphered code at the bottom of the letter:
1. abjgungvunirlbhenggragvba
is simple ROT-13 and translates to:

Took a quick looksee as the email came my way also. Pretty setup, looks professional. There's a Mexico area code tel. nbr. and a cipher on her 'blog tab' too:
tel nbr solve

(891) 912-9519=8919 129519 and letter substitutes to 'his lies'
cipher solve

Hello everybody!
I tried ROTting the last two lines on the puzzles tab, but they weren't producing anything coherent. I even tried reading them backwards.
You said that the telephone number was in Mexico? Does anyone here live in Mexico so that they wouldn't have to call long distance?

Blog deleted... perhaps they started there, but then decided to do their own domain?

The blog link on the main site still links to a Wordpress. She might have switched to a url that matches the name of the novel for consistency: http://themythofobjects.wordpress.com

I have an unlimited long distance plan on my phone. If no one has called the number by the time I take my lunch break today, I can do it!

Look at that... Very interesting...
I'm in...
Scanned the source codes for the pages. Nothing seems to come out. I don't think I need a double check, but if you want to, go on ahead.
New Wordpress link: http://themythofobjects.wordpress.com/
The old one was mythofobjects.wordpress.com.
It is now defunct.
Onwards and downwards we go...

Implies unreliable narrator in the blog? Or is it just another story line to add interest?

Currently fiddling with code 2. Could be an anagram. It's easily possible to make out:

let me reveal my name
but there's still 26 letters left over.

Hi AnonymousOtter. Believe *squee* Thunder, me & maybe others here have played before with this PM. If so her blog will become an intertwined mystery theme.
And Hola mspixieriot! It's super you will call yet the tel. number may simply have been a vehicle for the coded msg, the subtle type I <3.
