Archangel's Kiss

 

Alt Text - Quote from Archangel's Kiss: “It’s not quantity that matters, Raphael. We flitter away our lives because they’re endless. Humans must live a thousand lifetimes in one. Every hurt is keener, every joy more incandescent.”

Some wise words from Uram to Raphael.

Archangel's Legion Quotes

A couple of quotes from Archangel's Legion. Enjoy! And remember, Chapter 1 is available to read on the website.

Quote #1

"Elijah has resorted to teaching me how to stab people in the eye with my paintbrushes."

"That's a really excellent idea if you always have paintbrushes at hand." Elena tapped a finger on her lower lip, her mind on the other tools of Hannah's craft. "I've seen Aodhan with a paint scraper--you could sever someone's jugular with that."

Quote #2

Galen with babies? "Impossible," she said. "Galen eating babies I can understand, but training them?"

Open amusement. "I think you miss our weapons-master."

"Ha-ha."

- Archangel's Legion (Oct 29 North America / Oct 31 International)

Friday Book Club

First, some wonderful news - Archangel's Kiss is in the top 15 of the NYT for the second week running. It's also hit the Publisher's Weekly Bestseller list. Woohoo! A big thank you to all of you! :-)

Now, bookclub time!

I read Lori Foster's Back In Black this week, and LOVED it! The hero is rough, tough, and all-around delicious. I didn't realize this was part of the SBC Fighter series (set in the world of mixed martial arts), but had absolutely no problems reading it as a stand-alone. I'm now looking forward to glomming the entire series. *rubs hands in glee*

Your turn! What've you been reading and loving this week?

All sorts of Goodness!

It's a two-post day today! The book club post will be up later this evening :)

I'm delighted to share that Archangel's Kiss is on the USA Today Bestseller list as well as in the top ten of the NYT! I want to say a huge thank you to all of you for your support of this new series!

And more good news - Germany's Love Letter Magazine just published their 2010 Awards, and "Eisige Umarmung" (Caressed By Ice) won the Best Paranormal / Fantasy category!! (Thanks to Eva for forwarding me the info!).

Further news from Germany - "Engelskuss" (Angels' Blood) has just released! Check out the gorgeous cover above. And talking of gorgeous covers, the UK edition of Angels' Blood is also out!

AAR released the results of its Annual Poll this week, and Mercy & Riley took out the Best Paranormal category (with an Honorable Mention in the Best Love Scenes *grin*). Elena was voted the Best Kickass Heroine. Thank you to everyone who voted!

A quick heads-up for those of you in Auckland. I will be giving a talk at the Blockhouse Bay Library on Sunday 14th Feb (yep, Valentine's Day!) @ 1pm. I'm happy to sign books if anyone wants to bring them along.

I also have a new interview up at Women on Writing. Follow the link to read.

And, over at Oddshots, both Jill & Patrice are giving away books, so make sure you stop by and enter. Plus, The Knight Agency is holding a Lovers Rock Week, with all sorts of great posts!

Wow, I think I've used by my quota of exclamation marks for the entire week in this one post (o0)

Archangel's Kiss...

...just hit the NYT!! Woohoo!!

Archangel's Kiss Spoiler Thread Now Open

I decided to open the Spoiler Thread early. Follow the link!

(Closing comments on this post to avoid confusion.)

Michaela & More!

A (somewhat scary) link to start with - Kate of Babbling About Books managed to sit down with the Archangel Michaela for an interview earlier, and that interview is now up!

Also, I'm over at the RomConversations FF&P blog talking about Friendships in romance. Come on over and join in the discussion.

And, I have to *squee* over two fantastic new reviews for Archangel's Kiss, at Dear Author and at AAR (Desert Isle Keeper review)!

The Forbidden City, Bejing, China

The Forbidden City is an immense place, full of grandeur - literally a city within a city, and when I stood in the middle of it, I could easily imagine what it must've been like when filled with light and color and music.

Below is a closeup of a dragon detailed in metal.


The city is full of interconnecting staircases and bridges - like the ones you can see in the shot below, and in the one at the top of this post.


The large central square.


And finally a gorgeous section of roof detail that may be familiar...


I hope you enjoyed this small glimpse of the Forbidden City! If you're ever able to visit, I would utterly recommend it.

Release Celebrations!!

Archangel's Kiss will officially release on Feb 2nd (U.S.) time, so only a few hours to go!! I hope you all enjoy reading about the next stage in Elena and Raphael's relationship.

Lots of things related to AK are going live today, so here's a linkfest.

I have a Dear Reader letter up at Penguin's Paranormal page.

Also, a new interview has gone up at Calliope's Domain.

And I woke to find a number of great new reviews!

• Gwen at The Good, The Bad and The Unread
• Casee at Book Binge
• Kathy at Kathy's Review Corner
• More links to come!
  

Review, Interview & Covers

To open, a link to a great review of Archangel's Kiss that came in this morning.

All-in-all Archangel’s Kiss has everything that urban fantasy romance fans could ask for – sexy thrills, compelling characters and an original mythology combined with more than a dash of horror. Paranormal romance doesn’t get better than this.

~ Love Vampires

Also, I have an interview up at Book Bound today.

Plus, Chris Marie Green is giving away a couple of copies from her Vampire Babylon series over at The Knight Agency.

And, I saw this cover for Lauren Dane's Inside Out this morning and had to post it. Isn't it gorgeous?!
