Allegiance of Honor ARC Contest

CONTEST CLOSED

ALLEGIANCE OF HONOR 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 Allegiance of Honor, send an e-mail to naliniDOTassistantATgmailDOTcom (replace DOT/AT with symbols ./@), with:

- "ALLEGIANCE OF HONOR ARC Contest" in the subject line -

By 10pm, 27th April 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.)

Since this is an Advanced Review Copy, if you win, I'd ask that you please post a review somewhere before the release date (June 14th) - 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.

-Ashwini : )

CONTEST CLOSED

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 28th April 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 with his or her mailing address, otherwise he or she will forfeit the prize and another winner will be drawn. Void where prohibited.

Archangel's Heart

I emailed Ashwini this Lolcat last night after sending ARCHANGEL'S HEART to my agent. Yes, it's finished!! (Much intrigue is afoot in this book!)

Now my editor will read it and get back to me with any notes. It's currently 476 manuscript pages, 125,831 words.

German Release of Archangel's Enigma

Gilde der Jäger: Engelsmacht (ARCHANGEL'S ENIGMA) is out in German!!!! I hope you all fall in love with the gorgeous, wild creature who is Naasir, and with his smart, surprising heroine, Andromeda!!

Dabwaha & Newsletter

SHARDS OF HOPE is currently in the DABWAHA final against the lovely and talented Susanna Kearsley - DABWAHA is a fun March Madness vote-off between books, with the last book standing crowned the winner. You can vote at this link: http://dabwaha.com/, but also, I hope you'll read my note in the next paragraph.

Since I haven't campaigned at all, the fact Shards of Hope is up there is thanks to you my readers. You all rock! Shards wasn't even a nominee until readers wrote it in as a choice - and now it's in the final. No matter what happens, I'm so happy you all still love the Psy-Changeling series after all this time. Thank you for coming with me on this journey and here's to plenty more Psy-Changeling adventures going into the future. smile emoticon

p.s. Make sure you're on the newsletter list. April issue goes out in about 15 hours and it'll include not only a Guild Hunter short story, but a long excerpt from Allegiance of Honor. - xo Nalini

What Nalini Does In Her Free Time...

The other night, I decided to have some time off... so I wrote a Psy-Changeling short story AND a Guild Hunter short story. Because this is my idea of fun. :D One of those stories will be in the April newsletter (I don't have time to edit both, but whichever one you don't get this time, you'll get in a future newsletter). If you aren't already a subscriber, just fill in the linked form to join. You'll then get an email asking you to confirm. Click that link and you'll get a Welcome newsletter with links to previous newsletter-exclusive short stories. There's quite a lot of them by now! Any issues, email Ashwini: naliniDOTassistantATgmailDOTcom

Reviewers - Allegiance of Honor

Reviewers: For a *very* limited time, you can request a review copy of ALLEGIANCE OF HONOR via NetGalley.

My publisher is the one who decides which requests get approved or not and they're pretty strict, but hey, if you don't try, you'll never know. Good luck!

Google Hangout This Weekend

A quick heads up - I have a Google Hangout this weekend with Read for Pixels: Saturday at 6.00pm Los Angeles Time. Here's the link where you can watch the hangout live. Please rsvp! And see you there. smile emoticon

If you're in other timezones, we've worked out times in several locations to help you out: NYC: 9pm Saturday 19th March - London: 1am Sunday 20th March - Berlin: 2am Sunday 20th March - Sydney: 12pm Sunday 20th March - Auckland: 2pm Sunday 20th March

Psy-Changeling Quote

Psy-Changeling fans: I need your help. I've been asked for one quote from the series (just one?!) for a special something. I need you to tell me your favorite Psy-Changeling quotes so we can choose something you love. 

Shorter quotes are probably better. Ready, go!

Talk to me :)

Ashwini reminded me that we're sending out a newsletter this week. I haven't had a chance to write a new short story for it, but I have lots of exclusive never-before-seen excerpts. The question is, which excerpt do you want? 

Choices: ALLEGIANCE OF HONOR or something from one of the four new novellas in WILD EMBRACE. 

Guild Hunter peeps, I won't torture you with early peeks of ARCHANGEL'S HEART yet, since the release is so far in the future. Let me know your choice in the comments!
