Kiss of Snow Countdown Quote #14

Kiss of Snow releases tomorrow! Here's one more Kiss before release day. :-) 

Kiss of Snow Countdown Quote #14

Hawke smiled...and she realized he was stalking her in slow, steady steps. Twisting, she saw she was about to back herself into a corner. She jerked left, expecting him to stop her. When he didn't, suspicion licked through her veins. "I'm glad you're going to be reasonable about this," she said, never moving her eyes off him. 

So who thinks Hawke *is* going to be reasonable? ;-)

And a bonus Kiss :-)

"Ready to play?" the wolf asked. 

1 day to go!!

Hawke's Kiss

2 days to go till Kiss of Snow hits the shelves! Here's today's Kiss. :-) 

That sneaky wolf charm was not going to weaken her defenses this time. "I'm working, in case you didn't hear me the first time."

Arms sliding around her waist, tugging her back against a warm male chest. "I've come to keep you company."

Reaching back, she pulled her hair out from between them. "I like being alone." 

A quick nip of her ear. "Such a liar."

Saturday Kiss

Kiss of Snow Countdown Quote #12

"I know he'd chew me up and spit me out, but God, it's all I can do not to strip myself naked and beg for him to bite me any way and anywhere he wants."

3 days to go!

Friday Book Club & A Kiss

Kiss of Snow Countdown Quote #11 

Eight hours later, with the mountains kissed white-gold by the morning sun, Hawke stood staring at the door that had just been slammed in his face. "Sienna," he growled.

Kiss of Snow Countdown Quote #10

"Tomorrow." Leaning down, he nuzzled at her, only taking a small bite before rubbing his lips over the spot. "Time to go back."

Kiss of Snow Countdown Quote #9

Lurching up, she grabbed the front of his T-shirt. "You will not touch any of my friends."

Patient wolf eyes. Deadly wolf eyes.

Kisses, Reviews & Suitcases

The suitcase has come out and the clothes are being packed. One week to go till the release of Kiss of Snow and the start of the tour! I'm incredibly excited about both the release and the tour.

Talking of the tour, if you're coming to the New York event, then swing by Smart Bitches Trashy Books, as Sarah Wendell, who'll be interviewing me at the event, wants to make sure she includes reader questions in the interview.

A number of reviews went up today for Kiss of Snow. Here are some links if you'd like check them out.

"This is a thoroughly satisfying book, one that met every high expectation I had for Hawke's book." - Katidom

"I love that Sienna never fears Hawke. While they have a volatile relationship, he never forces his will upon her (for her own good) as in some alpha shifter stories." - Heroes and Heartbreakers

"Without giving any spoilers, I will say that I am completely satisfied with they way Ms. Singh addressed the mating concerns and how the whole mating storyline played out in Kiss of Snow." - Twinmom 227

Today's Kiss is for the fans of a certain Arrow.

Going down on his haunches, Vasic picked up a handful of sand, the silica catching the moonlight as it passed through his fingers. "Yes."

Kiss of Snow Countdown Quote #7

A Kiss to kick off the week. 

Hawke stepped sideways to block her. "No."

Not long to go to the release date!

Kiss of Snow Countdown Quote #6

Today's kiss below!

"You can't go around biting me whenever you feel like it." It was very alpha male behavior, and he hardly needed any more encouragement.

Kiss of Snow Countdown Quote #5

Happy weekend everyone! Here's today's Kiss of Snow quote!

"Do it again," he whispered. "I want to watch." 

Friday Book Club

Kiss of Snow Countdown Quote #4

"Wow, talk about alpha. Makes me want to say 'yes please, and again.'"

 _______________

What are you reading and enjoying at the moment? I have a whole bunch of books I'm looking forward to reading during my upcoming trip!

Angels' Flight

I've sent in the edits for Archangel's Blade, and am now back at work on Galen and Jessamy's novella. The novella is titled Angels' Dance, and will release March 2012 as part of the Angels' Flight anthology (in paperback and ebook).

As well as Angels' Dance, the paperback will feature the long-requested print edition of Angels' Pawn, along with a reprint of Angels' Judgment (Sara and Deacon's story), so it's a good chance to get most of the GH novellas in one go. If you've previously read one or both of the other novellas, not to worry - Angels' Dance is turning out to be a little longer than my other novellas, so you'll still get good value.

Let me know if you have any questions. :-)

"Your pelt," a lazy voice drawled as he walked into the clearing around Lucas's home, "would make a nice coat for my mate."

Kiss of Snow Countdown Quote #2

"Kiss of Snow is a gift to fans of the Psy-Changeling series, the development of Hawke and Sienna's relationship written in magnificent detail and their progression from adversaries to lovers so euphorically satisfying we can't imagine how we've made it this long without their story in all its glorious completeness." ~ Jenny from Supernatural Snark

Kiss of Snow Countdown Quote #2

A faint smile that made every tiny hair on her body rise in quivering attention. "How fast can you run?" A wolf's question.

12 (or 13) days to go to release day depending on your timezone!

Kiss of Snow Countdown

I'm posting a quote a day on my Facebook page to count down to the May 31st release of Kiss of Snow, and thought I'd post them here, too, for those of you not on Facebook. Enjoy!

Kiss of Snow Countdown Quote #1

Indigo gave him an easy, dangerous smile. “I know all you have to do is snap your fingers and women throw themselves into your bed—” She held up a hand when he growled. “I’m not saying you use your position, but the fact that you’re alpha, the reason why you’re alpha—your strength, your speed, your sheer dominance, that’s potent stuff. Not to mention your pretty face.”
