Good News Plus A Special Interview

Great news! Archangel's Viper was selected as an Amazon Best of the Month pick in romance! Thank you for the wonderful messages, comments, and reviews. You're the best!!

Also, the German translation of Wild Embrace is now available. For those readers who have been waiting for the translation, I hope you fall in love with these stories.

And last but not least: A few years ago, Venom lost a bet to Dmitri and had to give an interview to Immortal Insider magazine. :D Here is that interview, by one Missy Lemon, in all its glory. Enjoy!

New French Translation

A shout out to my French readers. The French edition of Wild Embrace is now out. I hope you love it!

Midweek update

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 Spoiler Thread

This is the thread where you can discussion the stories in WILD EMBRACE with *spoilers*. As always, be generous and polite to your fellow readers and have fun!

p.s. I don't monitor the questions in this thread, so if you have a Q for me, drop me an email.

Wild Embrace Now Out!

WILD EMBRACE is now out everywhere!! I hope you love these novellas. I had so much fun writing them and I couldn't pick a favorite if I tried!

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. ;-)

Newsletter signup link in the sidebar of the blog, and on the front page of the website.

New Excerpt: Wild Embrace

Going into Psy-Changeling withdrawal? Check out this exclusive excerpt from WILD EMBRACE (out next week, wheee!!), posted on Book Binge.

July Newsletter

Very important, please read! You should now have the July newsletter in your inbox, complete with a glimpse of "Echo of Silence" and more good stuff. HOWEVER, Gmail, Yahoo, and various other email providers have made changes that means my newsletter might be ending up in your spam/junk folder. 

We're following all the rules and doing our best to make sure you get the newsletter, but if you can't see it anywhere in your email, please email Ashwini and she'll make sure you get another copy: nalini DOT assistant AT gmail DOT com

Wild Embrace ARC Contest

CONTEST CLOSED

WILD EMBRACE ARC CONTEST

(International entries welcome)

If you'd like to go in the random draw to win one of 5 Advanced Reading/Review Copies of Wild Embrace, send an e-mail to naliniDOTassistantATgmailDOTcom (replace DOT/AT with symbols ./@), with:

"WILD EMBRACE ARC Contest" in the subject line AND your name and mailing address in the body of the email (entries without names and mailing addresses will be disqualified).

By 10pm, 6th July 2016, New Zealand time. 

Please follow the correct format for entry re the subject line, so your e-mail goes into the right in-box. (Your e-mail address will only be used to contact you should you win, and your mailing address will only be used to post out the ARC to you should you win.)

Since this is an Advanced Review Copy, if you win, we'd ask that you please post a review somewhere before the release date (August 23rd) - on a blog, on Amazon, B&N, Goodreads...it's up to you, but it would be much appreciated if you'd post your thoughts somewhere. 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.

CONTEST CLOSED

- Nalini & Ashwini : )

The fine print: Contest is open internationally. One entry per household. No purchase necessary to enter. Winners will be chosen randomly using random.org and emailed on 7th July 2016. Their names will also be posted on this blog at that time. Each winner will have 48 hours from the time of notification to contact us, otherwise he or she will forfeit the prize and another winner will be drawn. Void where prohibited.

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).
