I'm currently going over the copy edited manuscript of the next Rock Kiss book. Hoping to finalize it this week.

I've also chosen a cover photograph. It was shot just for this book and is gorgeous. I can't wait to share the cover with you once it's done.

No firm release date yet, but I'm hoping for July sometime. :)

It's been a busy time with Allegiance of Honor written, edited, proofed, followed by the same with Wild Embrace, then edits for Abe's book, and handing in Archangel's Heart. I'm excited about all the releases coming this year!

And last but not least: I shared this little video I took in Antarctica on my Facebook and Instagram, but I know not everyone checks those, so here it is for you. Hope it puts a smile on your face. (Turn up the sound to get the peaceful background noises).

Kindle, iBooks
Amzn, B&N, BookDepo, Penguin
(more pre-order links to come as they go live - please let me know if you find one we've missed! international links not yet available.)

The “alpha author of paranormal romance”* presents a stunningly sensual collection of four all-new Psy-Changeling novellas, in which taboos are broken, boundaries are crossed, and instincts prove irresistible...

Echo of Silence
In a deep-sea station, Tazia Nerif has found her life’s work as an engineer, keeping things running smoothly. But she wants nothing more than to break down the barrier of silence between her and her telekinetic Psy station commander...

Dorian
A changeling who can never shift lives a life of quiet frustration—until he learns how to let his leopard come out and play...

Partners in Persuasion
Still raw from being burned by a dominant female, wolf changeling Felix will never again risk being a plaything. But for dominant leopard Dezi, he’s the most fascinating man she’s ever met. She just has to convince this gun-shy wolf that he can trust the dangerous cat who wants to take a slow, sexy bite out of him…

Flirtation of Fate
Seven years ago, Kenji broke Garnet’s heart. Now the wolf packmates have to investigate the shocking murder of one of their own. And the more Kenji sees of the woman Garnet has become, the deeper he begins to fall once more. But even his primal instincts are no match for the dark secret he carries...

2016 Release Update

Two things:

Secrets at Midnight, my novella from the NIGHT SHIFT anthology, will be out as a stand-alone ebook on August 2, 2016. Follow the link to read an excerpt.

And WILD EMBRACE, the new Psy-Changeling anthology is scheduled for release August 23rd, 2016 in North America. No news yet on the international release date (Nobody panic! It's early days yet.). Excerpts to come a little closer to the release.

It's not up for pre-order everywhere yet, but where it is, it may be showing up as Wild Embrace: A Psy-Changeling Novel. That's an error that we're fixing. It's an anthology of all new Psy-Changeling material: two normal sized novellas, one supersized novella, one novelette. Lots of Psy-Changeling goodness.

Thanks to Library Addict for reminding me to announce this!

Newsy Stuff

Thank you for an amazing release week for Archangel's Enigma! I'm so glad you're enjoying Naasir and Andi's story. I had so much fun hanging out with these two (and the rest of the cast).

Before I share all the other news, don't forget to swing by the blog around 10am EST/September 8th. (That's Tues 3pm/London, 4pm/Berlin, midnight Tues/Wed Sydney, Wed 2am/NZ). I'll be posting the moody, gorgeous cover of Rock Redemption.

If you'd like to read an early review of Noah and Kit's story, reviewer Marilina shared this Goodreads review with me today.

This week, I'm finishing up the "secret" Psy-Changeling anthology I mentioned in this future of the Psy-Changeling series post. If you'd like to try to figure out what the final novella is about without first reading that post, check out this Instagram post I did.

As I said in the linked blog post, I didn't want to schedule the anthology until it was complete or close to complete, so I've only just recently spoken to my editor about it. More news to come, but it looks like it'll be releasing in the second half of 2016, so you'll get a bonus Psy-Changeling release next year. :-)

I'm also working on Psy-Changeling #15, my ensemble cast, family-focused book. (It's tougher than it sounds!!)

And, because I can't help myself, I'm also making notes for the next Rock book as well.

I hope you're all having an awesome start to the week. :-)

Edits, Blurbs, Excerpts, and Newsletter Vignette

Lots of news today!

I've just got the manuscript for the next Rock Kiss book back from the copy editor, so I'll have my head down for the next week going over that.

The blurb will be ready for release next week, on the 15th. Don't forget to swing by to have a read. No cover yet, but it's in progress! Release date is October 6th.

The first Archangel's Enigma excerpt is up on the website. This is the same excerpt as that which went out in the June newsletter. The second advance excerpt will be up on August 4th. Then the book will release on September 1st!

I'm continuing to work on the Psy-Changeling novella anthology I mentioned last year in this post. No release date on that yet as I want to complete everything first, but I'm  now on the final novella (two stubborn characters who are meant to be together and who are giving me fits! More to come once I figure out what's happening with them).

The July newsletter will be going out in about ten hours after this post goes live. I've written a brand new vignette for it that I hope you'll all enjoy. If you aren't yet a subscriber, you can join up at this link. If you join too late for this month's newsletter, or have any other issues subscribing, email Ashwini and she'll make sure you get a copy: naliniDOTassistantATgmailDOTcom

So that's my news. What are you up to?

p.s. Sorry for the missing book club last week. We're back to regularly scheduled programming as of this week!

Shards Excerpt, Worldwide Audio Release, Alpha Showdown, & Catchup

I hope you're all having a great week. I've just sent the draft of Rock Kiss #3 (Noah's book) to my first reader, so today, I'm catching up on all the admin stuff I put aside while finishing the book.

I also want to work on my "spare time" Psy-Changeling novella collection.

What are you up to?
