Countdown to Archangel's Shadows

I thought we'd start with a little glimpse at one of the more mysterious characters in the series. ;-)

Archangel's Shadows & Twitter Chat

Ashwini and Janvier's story is almost here! *eep!* In the lead up to the release, I'll be doing a Twitter chat this week - even if you're not on Twitter, you'll be able to follow along on the thread. I'll post the link up once the chat goes live. Gather up your questions and see you there!

SHARDS OF HOPE

...is the title of the next Psy-Changeling book, out 2015. Here's the blurb. :-)

The “smoldering heat, epic romance, and awesome action”* of Nalini Singh’s New York Times bestselling series continues as two Arrows find themselves caught in a chilling conspiracy that spans all three races…

Awakening wounded in a darkened cell, their psychic abilities blocked, Aden and Zaira know they must escape. But when the lethal soldiers break free from their mysterious prison, they find themselves in a harsh, inhospitable landscape far from civilization. Their only hope for survival is to make it to the hidden home of a predatory changeling pack that doesn’t welcome outsiders.

And they must survive. A shadowy enemy has put a target on the back of the Arrow squad, an enemy that cannot be permitted to succeed in its deadly campaign. Aden will cross any line to keep his people safe for this new future, where even an assassin might have hope of a life beyond blood and death and pain. Zaira has no such hope. She knows she’s too damaged to return from the abyss. Her driving goal is to protect Aden, protect the only person who has ever come back for her no matter what.

This time, even Aden’s passionate determination may not be enough—because the emotionless chill of Silence existed for a reason. For the violent, and the insane, and the irreparably broken…like Zaira.

Are you surprised? Excited? Did you guess who Aden's heroine was going to be? Discuss!

Also, I'm now going to add my author photo to this post. Some of you might have noticed that when you search for me on Google, it shows you a picture of another person. The only way I can figure out to change that is to repeat my tagged author photo over and over! 

If any of you do reviews/posts about my books on your own blogs, feel free to repost my author photo. If you right click, you should be able to save it automatically as Nalini Singh Author. Hopefully it'll all help Google pick up the right Nalini Singh. Thank you! (You can also click on the photo that shows up on the Google search and send feedback saying it's the wrong person. No sign in required).
