Archangel's Legion

 

Alt Text - Quote from Archangel's Legion:  I'm the hunter, Elena reminded him. I should go first. [Raphael] Of course you may go first. When I am dead.

We're up to book six of the Guild Hunter series! In Archangel's Legion, we return to Elena and Raphael as they investigate strange occurrences in their city, while continuing to navigate the complexities of their relationship.

Archangel's Lineage Countdown

Alt Text - Quote from Archangel's Legion: For future reference, I am never, ever going to a ball again without a crossbow and a flamethrower.

And the countdown to the release of Archangel's Lineage continues - only 5 weeks to go!! Today we're going back to Archangel's Legion and sharing some wise words from Elena to Raphael.

Engelslied Now Out!

The German edition of Archangel's Legion is now out!

Guild Hunter #7

I posted some information about the next Guild Hunter book on Facebook and thought I'd share it here as well. :-)

The book will feature Ash and Janvier from "Angels' Pawn" as main characters, but it will also feature Elena and Raphael (after the events in "Archangel's Legion", they have a lot to deal with!).

This is a tightly connected world and group of characters, so we're also going to see most of the usual suspects, including the hunters and many of the Seven (Naasir, too ;-)).

Okay, that's what I have for you so far. More info to come a bit closer to the release - which, by the way, is currently scheduled for the end of October. That's a tentative date, so it could move. Specific date to come later in the year.

I'll start answering at 7pm EST, and go hard for a couple of hours. I'm already exercising my fingers.

Archangel's Legion

Picking up her favorite blades, he threw them at her. Hands snapping up, she caught them both. "I said"--spoken through gritted teeth--"I don't want to."

"And I say you've sulked long enough."

The knife quivered to a stop on the doorjamb an inch from his face.

It's almost out! Woohoo!

Archangel's Legion - One Week to Go!!

"I'm the hunter," Elena reminded him. "I should go first."
"Of course you may go first. When I am dead."

Archangel's Legion

"You were in my dream."

She spread her wing so it covered him, her hand on his shoulder. As if she would protect him. "It was sad and terrible and beautiful, what I saw in you there."

Archangel's Legion and Psy-Changeling #13

Today is an awesome day. Not only did ARCHANGEL'S LEGION receive a starred review from Publishers Weekly that calls the book "intense, vivid, and sexually charged", I have the okay to announce the title and blurb for Psy-Changeling #13.

Ready?

Here you go!

SHIELD OF WINTER by Nalini Singh

Coming June 2014

“The alpha author of paranormal romance” (Booklist) draws us back into her extraordinary Psy-Changeling world, a world torn between violence and peace, passion and ice...

Assassin. Soldier. Arrow. That is who Vasic is, who he will always be. His soul drenched in blood, his conscience heavy with the weight of all he’s done, he exists in the shadows, far from the hope his people can almost touch—if only they do not first drown in the murderous insanity of a lethal contagion. To stop the wave of death, Vasic must complete the simplest and most difficult mission of his life.

For if the Psy race is to survive, the empaths must wake…

Having rebuilt her life after medical “treatment” that violated her mind and sought to stifle her abilities, Ivy should have run from the black-clad Arrow with eyes of winter frost. But Ivy Jane has never done what she should. Now, she'll fight for her people, and for this Arrow who stands as her living shield, yet believes he is beyond redemption. But as the world turns to screaming crimson, even Ivy’s fierce will may not be enough to save Vasic from the cold darkness…

This Week...

So far this week:

1. I've been to to the dentist.

2. I've been to the dentist a second time. Now I'm freeeeeeeeee!! (Maybe not forever, but I'll savor the joy while it lasts).

3. Cracked the glass on a picture frame, then realized no one can tell the glass is missing, so it'll be going back up. ;-)

4. Baked gluten free red velvet cupcakes. (I used this recipe from the Sprinkles cupcake shop in L.A.)

5. Finished the last of the custard cream cookies in the cookie jar. (These are very dunkable cookies).

6. Retweeted this gorgeous image of two lion cubs.

7. And posted this quote from Archangel's Legion on Facebook. Here it is for those of you who aren't on FB. I hope you enjoy!

Kisses down her throat. "I wouldn't wish my consort to suffer ennui."

Chest heaving...she managed to say, "Ennui, yes, that's exactly what I feel right now."

His eyes glinted. "So, my consort challenges me. Very well."

How's your week going so far? (And yes, I'm writing. Lots and lots ;-)).

Adieu USA! Thank you all for making this trip so much fun! We'd hoped to post up lots of photos but we'll be on a plane very soon, so I have my fingers crossed we can do it in the next week or so, as we continue our travels. Next stop is London :-)
