As of the moment I write this, we’re only 35 days away from the release of Defiant, the long-awaited third book in my MacKinnon’s Rangers series. Since Untamed was released in 2008, I’ve gotten daily emails asking me when Connor’s story would be released.

Now, that day is just around the corner.

To prep for it, I’m asking those of you who read the first two books to reread them with me so the d... read more »

message 98: by Isha

Isha I absolutely love your books. I've read most of your I-team series, just started reading 'Skin Deep' and I can already tell its going to be another great read.I just wanted to drop by and let you know you're a great change from authors who write trash in the name of romance and still get acknowledged because of hordes of teenage girls who cant get enough of sappy,unrealistic situations.
Keep up the great work, there can never be enough Pamela Clare books.

Pamela Julian might be my favorite, too. Hard to say, because I really do love them all, each for different reasons.

As for excerpts, I imagine I won't be posting any till spring because I'll need to get much of the book written first. But when I do post them, you'll see them on my blog, which gets reposted here on Goodreads. I always share excerpts. :-)


message 93: by Eima

Eima You're welcome!
A favorite? Oh my, I like all books equally it's hard to choose... If I were to pick, I liked Naked Edge the most. I really love how Gabe and Kat's relationship developed despite the things that are holding them back.
However if I were to pick an I-Team hero, it would most definitely be Julian.

Is that so? I can't wait! I wonder what the next novel is about. Will you be posting teaser excerpts soon?

message 74: by Pamela

Pamela Hi, Annie! Good to hear that you enjoyed the I-Team. We've got more on the way there, too. SR and CG will be online as ebooks soon. Ride the Fire, Surrender and Untamed are being re-released in print and as ebooks with extras. And then Defiant will be out February. Hopefully, I'll have an I-Team novella available as an ebook in late November for Christmas. Then it will be on to the next I-Team novel.

So that's what's on the horizon for the next calendar year. :-)


Annie the Destroyer *Leather Lust* LOL! Jodie cracks me up! Getting the shakes! Look what you do to us, Pamela! I'm on a Romantic Suspense binge after reading I-Team!

Do you know about the law that I got passed relating to the content of this story? If not, I'd be happy to share it with you.


Annie the Destroyer *Leather Lust* Hi Pamela! *waves* I didn't realize we weren't friends already here on GR! Thank you so much for the friend invite!

You know what's funny? I'm sitting here right now trying to write a review for Hard Evidence that does the book justice. So far, my word doc says, "I want Julian's babies." Yep, I think that sums it up! I'll have to sleep on this and come up with a better review than just hot men in towels. haha!

Taryn-does it have romance? Yes it made sense....no wonder why I couldn't find them. I had a feeling the were out of print. Thank you for responding.

Are these books stand alone? I managed to get lucky and find RIDE THE FIRE but I don't want to read it if I'll be confused.

I can type up the first two books for you if you'd like so you can publish them! :)


message 63: by Pamela

Pamela Hi, Taryn,

At the moment they are, indeed, out of print. I left that publisher, got my rights back and sold them to Penguin. And now Penguin is re-releasing SURRENDER and UNTAMED in December and January, the publishing book 3 in that series, Connor's book, DEFIANT.

The first two Kenleigh/Blakewell stories are not being re-issued. They're available only through me at the moment. I hope to self-publish them as e-books soon.

RIDE THE FIRE will be re-released but they don't have a pub date for it yet.

Does that all make sense? Sorry for the inconvenience!


message 62: by Taryn-does it have romance? (last edited May 03, 2011 04:46pm)

Taryn-does it have romance? Hi Pamela, are your MacKinnon’s Rangers books and Blakewell/Kenleigh Family Trilogy books not available for the kindle? I bought Ride the Fire but didn't realize I bought it out of order. Thanks :)

I can't find the MacKinnon books anywhere...are they out of print?
