International Editions & Reflections

Today was an international day.

I received some German editions of one of my Silhouette Desire books - Craving Beauty. These international edition author copies appear without warning, so it's always fun to open the box and see what's inside.

Also, as an aside, while shirt dude is very nice, I still ADORE the original cover. It was an unusual cover for a Silhouette novel when it was first published, and I think it's stood the test of time.

I'd have this as a poster on my office wall if I could. (I actually do have a poster of one of my original Desire covers: Awaken the Senses. I think I purloined it from a conference when no one was looking ;-)).

So the German editions arrived before lunch, then later in the day, I instagrammed this post of the new Turkish hardcover edition of Angels' Blood. Isn't it pretty?! I can't wait to get my author copies so I can pet it and ooh and aah over it.

And, just now, I answered a question for a reader who was asking about the Italian edition of Archangel's Blade. If you're curious to see the other international covers for Dmitri and Honor's book, follow the link, then open the Other Editions tab.

I also had to find the French cover of the recent release of Heart of Obsidian, for the website.

As I was doing that last, it suddenly struck me just how incredible it is that I have readers around the world. It's a surreal, beautiful, wonderful thing that just hit me hard in the heart and brought me near to tears.

I could never have imagined this when I was a struggling writer getting rejection after rejection. Back then, the idea of seeing Nalini Singh on a book cover was just a crazy dream. The reality was letter after letter saying my manuscript wasn't what the publisher was looking for. Self-publishing wasn't even a gleam in anyone's eye, so that wasn't an option.

The rejections broke my heart, but I never considered stopping. Writing is as much a part of me as breathing. Cut me and you'll see words pouring out along with my blood. And you all know I plan to keel over the keyboard - one day far in the future, when I'm a cheerfully wizened old lady.

So to all of you who have your own crazy dreams - don't ever give up. You never know what the next day, the next door will bring. Fight for your joy.

And to my readers: thank you. Without you, none of this would be possible. I wish I could hug each and every one of you.

Rock Redemption

If you've read any advance reviews, you know Rock Redemption is an intense, emotional, angsty book. But it also has moments of sweetness and fun that made me grin as I was writing them. 

Here's a quote from one scene that I love. I'm lining up some longer excerpts for you to come closer to release day!

Pre-Order: Kindle, iBooks, Nook, Kobo
(Will also be available in print. Preorder already up at Amazon. More links to come).

Good News: Archangel's Enigma

I woke up to the news that ARCHANGEL'S ENIGMA hit the New York Times and USA Today Bestseller lists. A great big shout out to all of you who made this happen! You are amazing! 

Thank you for sticking with me on this often wild, sometimes crazy, always romantic Guild Hunter ride!

Rock Redemption Cover

I am so excited to share this cover with you! I ADORE it! (I also got to attend this cover shoot - I'm going to be posting some awesome behind-the-scenes pics for you in about a week!)

ROCK REDEMPTION

Out October 6th

Pre-Order: Kindle, iBooks, Nook, Kobo

(Will also be available in print. Preorder already up at Amazon. More links to come).

From New York Times bestselling author Nalini Singh comes the next contemporary romance in the Rock Kiss series…

Kit Devigny could have loved rock guitarist Noah St. John. Their friendship burned with the promise of intense passion and searing tenderness…until the night Noah deliberately shattered her heart.

Noah knows he destroyed something precious the night he chose to betray Kit, but he’d rather she hate him than learn his darkest secret. All he has left is his music. It’s his saving grace, but it doesn’t silence the voices that keep him up at night. Chasing oblivion through endless one-night-stands, he earns a few hours’ sleep and his bad boy reputation.

When a media error sees Noah and Kit dubbed the new “it” couple, Kit discovers her chance at the role of a lifetime hinges on riding the media wave. Wanting—needing—to give Kit this, even if he can’t give her everything, Noah agrees to play the adoring boyfriend. Only the illusion is suddenly too real, too painful, too beautiful…and it may be too late for the redemption of Noah St. John.

EXCERPT: First chapter up on website. Second excerpt to go live as soon as my web person can put it up! More excerpts to come nearer the release date.

REVIEW COPIES: Available for request on NetGalley.

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. :-)

Archangel's Enigma & Newsletter & Spoiler Thread

I just got back home after signing preordered copies of Archangel's Enigma for Mighty Ape NZ. I'm so excited for the release!!!

Early copies have started popping up in bookstores, and the downloads should begin soon, if they haven't already.

I hope you all fall in love with Naasir and Andromeda's story! I had SO MUCH FUN with these two. They are awesome characters to be around.

Australian & NZ readers: You have the same release date as the US - September 1st. This is definite for print copies, so you should find it on the shelf at your local bookstore, but I'm not certain about ebooks (those may be linked to the UK download, in which case, it should start to download as soon as it turns Sep 3rd in the UK).

Plus, if you're on Facebook, there is a Spoiler Discussion Group for Archangel's Enigma. Follow the link to join. I've also set up a discussion thread on the blog at this link. Have fun chatting! :-)

Last but not least, don't forget the newsletter goes out in approximate ten or so hours, and it'll have a second excerpt from Rock Redemption. Subscribe here if you're not a member already. You should get a confirm link in your email, and soon as you click that, you should get a Welcome newsletter with links to previous newsletter exclusives, including short stories. If it doesn't arrive, let Ashwini know and she'll figure out what's up. Her email is: nalini DOT assistant AT gmail DOT com. (Replace the DOT and AT with . and @).

Archangel's Engima Spoiler Thread

This is the thread where you can discuss Archangel's Engima freely. *SPOILERS* are permitted, so look away if you haven't read the book yet!

This is a thread for reader discussion. If you have questions specifically for me, please email me. Or wait until I have my next big Q&A (should be soonish).

As always, please be kind and respectful to one another, and have fun!

Countdown to ARCHANGEL'S ENIGMA

Kobo Sale & Rock Redemption ARCs

Rock Redemption Excerpt

Every cell in her body snapped wide awake. Lifting her eyelids, she just stared at the ceiling through gritty eyes. Her heart thumped, her throat moving convulsively as she swallowed. She hated that he could still do this to her, hated it, but her visceral response to Noah wasn’t something she could stop. She knew because she’d tried for the past two years and three months.

“Noah,” she said flatly. “Do you know what time it is?”

“Two fifteen,” he answered.

Catchup and Friday Book Club

Wow, it's Friday again already! How did that happen?!

I'm off to have a hot chocolate with Ashwini and a good friend this morning, then it's back into Psy-Changeling #15. If you missed this month's newsletter, Psy-Changeling #15 will feature an ensemble cast and be a book about family, whether that family is related by blood, by loyalty, or myriad other bonds.

While I was traveling, I made my way through Ramez Naam's Nexus trilogy. This is science fiction (no romance), and I found the concepts within it both fascinating and thought-provoking. Plus, it's a great action story.

My current read is an early copy of JD Robb's Devoted in Death (out Sep 15th). It's awesome as always.

We did record the Q&A and so did a reader, so once one of the videos goes live, I'll post up the info.

Then, to top off my good mood this morning, I woke to find the Psy-Changeling series on NPR's list of 100 Swoon-Worthy Romances. Check it out - there are tons of great recommendations on the list!

Today and tomorrow, I'm holing up in my hotel room to finish the final proofs of Rock Redemption. It's already been edited and proofread professionally, but I like to do my own read before I turn over the manuscript for formatting, make sure no gremlins have snuck in.

Also, don't forget, the second excerpt from Archangel's Enigma goes up next week, August 4th.

More to come once I figure out what's happening with them).

Signed Copies & Lower North Island

I was on book tour in the Lower North Island of New Zealand last week. It was a lovely trip, with some amazing scenery! I thought I'd share some shots today.

But first, these are the bookstores that have signed copies of my books. I'm sure they'd be happy to post them out across New Zealand!

Paper Plus Johnsonville
Paper Plus Coastlands
Paper Plus Palmerston North
Paper Plus Masterton

Whitcoulls Cuba St, (Wellington)
Whitcoulls Lambton Quay (Wellington)

Thank you to everyone who came to my events and to the booksellers and librarians who hosted me. You made it such a wonderful trip.

~

It was a gorgeous day when we flew down to Wellington (I was travelling with Ruby, from Hachette, my NZ publisher).

I was lucky enough to have the window seat, and I was so glad for that when we passed over Mount Taranaki. The view was incredible - I took the following photo out the window.

I think that was my favorite view of the entire trip - though passing through the Manawatu Gorge comes a close second!

But before we get to that, let me show you my signing chair at the Porirua Library. Isn't it amazing?! It was lovely and comfortable too!

We passed through some beautiful country on the trip. I took the shot below from the car - the wind turbines in the distance were going at full speed, it was so windy.

The Manawatu Gorge was incredible! This photo doesn't do it justice. The big double-cab truck in the distance gives you some idea of the scale of the gorge.

I hope you enjoyed the little trip through part of New Zealand!

Roundup of News

I was on a bit of a publicity blitz for my local publisher last week - I thought I'd round up some of the links in case any of you want to check out the interviews.

~

I was on the television show Good Morning on June 4th. My segment starts at about 41.18. Thanks to Library Addict for letting me know the show is available to view internationally - you will, however, have to sign up for TVNZ's On Demand service. (Basically, register via your email).

This link will take you to the right episode. Otherwise, go to tvnz.co.nz, click TVNZ On Demand, find Good Morning in the list of shows, and choose the June 4th episode.

At the TVNZ studios.

Plus I was on Radio New Zealand's Standing Room Only programme. I think the audio file should be available worldwide. Just follow this link to listen - the audio cuts off a bit at the end, but you get almost the entire interview.

At The Mix FM with Mel Homer (no audio available online)

And I did a lunchtime Q&;A on the Mighty Ape Facebook page. Even if you're not on Facebook, you should be able to read the thread. (We will also be having a blog Q&A a bit later on, soon as I catch up on a few things).

~

I also did a blog post for the Gollancz Blog, talking about five of my Favorite Psy-Changeling Moments. What are your faves?

~

Also, Kiwis, don't forget I'll be on book tour in about a week. Main cities will be: Porirua, Masterton, and Palmerston North. Please do support the events! The better the turnouts, the more likely my publisher is to do more in the future. :)

p.s. I just realized I'm wearing the same top in all these photos! That's because they're all from the same day. I don't think I have any shots from the second day.

Psy-Changeling Quotes

Okay, I need your help. You all know I had some Guild Hunter mugs made up for giveaways. At this point, they've gone everywhere from the USA, to other parts of New Zealand, to South Africa! Anyway, I was thinking I should get some Psy-Changeling mugs made up too, to celebrate the release of SHARDS OF HOPE.

This is where you come in. As you can see from this picture of the Guild Hunter mug, there are quotes all around it from the books. I want you to nominate your favorite Psy-Changeling quotes for the Psy-Changeling mug, to ensure we choose quotes you love. It works best if they're one or two lines long, as otherwise, it's harder to fit them in.

So hit me with your favorite quotes!!!
