Lord of the Abyss Re-release

Have you read LORD OF THE ABYSS? I wrote it as part of a series with three other authors, but it stands fully alone too, if you just want to ready Micah and Lily's story. I LOVE this book!! It's a dark fantasy with a hero who is both adorable and very, very dangerous. If you do decide to grab it, the cover will be different depending on your location.

The contents of the review are, of course, totally up to you.

A note about the ARC - it's substantially the same as the final book, but since ARCs are printed prior to the final round of edits, there are some errors in the text that aren't in the final book.

Silver Silence

PSY-CHANGELING NEWS!!

Silver Silence

...is the title of the next Psy-Changeling book. I'm sure you can all guess who the heroine is!

Silver Silence kicks off season two of the series. The books in season one all had three-word titles, but for this next arc of the series, we're switching it up to two-word titles. (Yes, we like to live dangerously :D).

The series title will also be changing slightly from the Psy-Changeling Series, to the Psy-Changeling Trinity Series.

SILVER SILENCE

A Psy-Changeling Trinity Novel

Why the series title change?

As I started to think about Silver Silence, I realized it would be a very good entry point into the series. We're going to be meeting new characters, seeing a new part of the Psy-Changeling world.

The series title change means Silver Silence will be listed as book 1 of the Psy-Changeling Trinity series rather than book 16 of the Psy-Changeling series.

This'll also make it easier for things like my website, so the book lists can be neatly separated out. Right now, the series list is in danger of falling off the page on the main menu!

If I've read the entire Psy-Changeling series, will this feel like a continuation?

Yes. While Silver Silence is a great intro into the series, if you're already familiar with the world, then you'll see deeper layers of meaning within each story. And of course, you'll come into it with a lot of knowledge about all the events that have led up to this point.

Does this mean all the books will be about the Trinity Accord?

No. In fact, the Trinity Accord plays only a minor role in Silver Silence.

The reason for choosing Psy-Changeling Trinity as the series title is that in my head, this is the Trinity arc, while season one was the Silence arc. It doesn't mean everything focuses around Trinity - it just represents this new phase in the Psy-Changeling world.

Does the new series arc mean we're leaving the previous characters totally behind?

No. We will be meeting new characters and going into new territories, but this is a living, breathing world, so people's paths do cross.

Also, we'll be circling back to some previous characters who haven't had their stories yet.

If I haven't read a single Psy-Changeling story, will I understand Silver Silence?

Absolutely. And hopefully, it'll tempt you to go back and catch up on season one!

Will my favorite characters appear?

If they're necessary to the story. Given the sprawling cast, not everyone can return. Allegiance of Honor was a soft goodbye to some characters - I say soft because if they have a natural part to play in a particular storyline in the future, you'll see them again.

How many books will be in season two?

I never know how many books it'll take to complete a story arc so I can't give you a number, but I have plans for plenty more Psy-Changeling goodness!

Who is the hero of Silver Silence?

I recently turned in the first few chapters of the book to my editor and she loved it, so we should have a blurb soonish. Until then, I'll tell you that Silver's hero is most unexpected. I certainly wasn't expecting him to knock on Silver's door at seven in the morning like he had every right to be there. Once again, I learn never to predict what my characters will do!

Tell me more!

I've almost completed the first draft of the book. This doesn't mean it's finished. I do multiple drafts - my first drafts are the skeleton, with more layers going on draft by draft. Right now, I've been focusing mostly on the romance.

Silver and her hero are unlike any other pairing in the series to date.

I hope that answers most of your burning questions! I'll release the blurb as soon as it's finalized! Until then, anyone want to guess at the identity of Silver's hero?

Slave to Sensation

Happy 10th birthday to the Slave to Sensation gang: Sep 5, 2006, original release date of the first Psy-Changeling book (aka hot purple dude). 😍💕🎉

First of all, thank you for the lovely comments and emails about Wild Embrace. You are awesome. :) Talking of the anthology, it's now out in audio in the USA & Canada: Itunes, Audible, Tantor.

I'm currently working on the next Psy-Changeling book. I've just sent in the first chapters to my editor, and I'm hoping to tell you more about this book super soon. I'm so excited! I LOVE the title we've come up with.

Today, however, was about organizing my study. It's neat and tidy now thanks to Ashwini's help - and I can once again find all my timelines!

I hope you're all having a great week. :)

Wild Embrace Audio

Audiobook peeps: I just found out the audio of WILD EMBRACE is actually going to release on August 30th, rather than the 23rd when the ebook & print editions come out. Huge apologies! But to make up for the delay, I'm going to put in an extra excerpt in the newsletter (which will be going out in about 15-16 hours). I might also sneak in some Guild Hunter goodness. ;-)

Book Recommendations: Louisa George & Amanda Bouchet

If you follow me on Twitter, you'll have seen I recommended a couple of books this week. I thought I'd share the recs here too! One is a contemporary, the other a fantasy/paranormal.

First up is Louisa George's "Something Borrowed" - it starts off with a wedding planner jilted at the altar, a Bridezilla style meltdown that ends up with her trying to beat the (sexy) best man up with her wedding bouquet, and then it only gets better. :D

It's fun but with a real emotional heart. I had SUCH a good time reading this and totally fell for the characters!! (Full disclosure, Louisa is a friend of mine but you all know I only talk about books I love!)

Second rec is Amanda Bouchet's "A Promise of Fire" - this one's a fantasy romance and it's soooo good!! The characters are wonderfully likeable, the world is unique and full of intrigue, and there's just this deep sense of warmth to the book that I loved and that kept me inhaling the story. I read this on the plane to and back from Australia and the hours just flew by. I CANNOT WAIT to read the next book!!!! This is Amanda's debut and I think she's done an incredible job.

Totally check out both these books!! And if you've read them already, share your opinions in the comments. :)

Rock Wedding- One day to go!

"...one of the biggest factors in my personal grading system is whether the book has just a touch of magic. I want a romance novel to weave a spell of comfort, escape, and hope over my soul...This is one of those books." - Kristen Donnelly for AAR

ROCK WEDDING is getting some fantastic reviews, including this rare Desert Isle Keeper one from AAR: http://www.allaboutromance.com/book-review/rock-wedding-by-nalini-singh-19-jul-a/

The Book Queen has chosen it as a TBQ pick and had this to say: "Rock Wedding was one of those books that just gave me all the feels before eventually leaving me with warm fuzzies and a sappy smile."

I hope you all enjoy it just as much!

ROCK WEDDING by Nalini Singh

Releasing: July 19th
Preorder: iBooks (more preorder links to come)
Goodreads, Series page on Website

New York Times bestselling author Nalini Singh continues her Rock Kiss series with a hot, sweet, emotional contemporary romance about love and forgiveness…

After a lifetime of longing for a real family, Sarah Smith thought she’d finally found her home with rock star Abe Bellamy, even if she knew Abe didn’t love her the way she loved him. But their brief relationship, filled with tragedy and heartache, nearly destroyed her. Alone, emotions in turmoil, and already shaky self-esteem shattered, Sarah struggles to pick up the pieces in the wake of their divorce.

Abe knows he’s to blame for the end of his marriage. Caught in a web of painful memories, he pushed away the best thing in his life – the sexy, smart woman he adores – breaking them both in the process. Then fate throws him a second chance to get things right, to prove to Sarah that she means everything to him. Abe desperately wants that second chance at love...even if he knows he doesn’t deserve it.

But can he convince Sarah – now strong and independent without him – to risk her wounded heart one more time?
