Official TRUE COLORS Blurb!
Meeting your soulmate? Great. Preventing your possible murder? Even better.
Alice Clark, a Wyr and schoolteacher, has had two friends murdered in as many days, and she’s just found the body of a third. She arrives at the scene only minutes before Gideon Riehl, a wolf Wyr and current detective in the Wyr Division of Violent Crime—and, as Alice oh-so-inconveniently recognizes at first sight, her mate.
But the sudden connection Riehl and Alice feel is complicated when the murders are linked to a serial killer who last struck seven years ago, killing seven people in seven days. They have just one night before the killer strikes again. And every sign points to Alice as the next victim.
This is a new release.
Warning: This book contains a hot police detective, a violent murderer on the hunt, and a heroine that can blend in anywhere…

TRUE COLORS novella
I thought I would post a note about the upcoming Elder Races novella TRUE COLORS, because people have asked questions in a variety of different places. Instead of repeating the answers, I thought it would be good to have the information posted somewhere, so I have put it on Facebook and now here on Goodreads.
TRUE COLORS will be released by Samhain Publishing on December 13th. Readers will be able to buy it from Barnes and Noble (Nook), Amazon (Kindle), or from the Samhain site itself.
For those who are not familiar, the Samhain site does not have restrictions on their ebooks, so when TRUE COLORS is released it will be available worldwide on their site. I would love to see it in print some day soon, but for now, the story is an e-release only. You don't need an ereader to enjoy it though; you can download it onto your pc.
Here is the link at Samhain: http://store.samhainpublishing.com/tr.... Samhain has not yet posted a story blurb or uploaded the cover art, but they will soon. I also don't believe there is an Amazon entry yet, but there will be!
The hero of the story, Gideon Riehl, is literally a name mentioned in passing in the first chapter of STORM'S HEART. Readers have not yet met the heroine, Alice.
The story is in the same Elder Races universe as the main series, but it can be read as a stand alone. In other words, you don't need to have read the first three books in order to read and enjoy the novella, although I think if you have read any of the first three books it might enhance enjoying the novella.
I will also be having a blog tour the week of the release, and I will be tweeting/posting reminders on Facebook each day so that readers can check out the blogs and interviews.
Thanks so much for everybody's questions--I hope this answers everything!
Warm regards,
Thea

SERPENT'S KISS on NYT Bestseller List
This afternoon I received a wonderful phone call from my editor. SERPENT'S KISS is #32 on the extended New York Times Bestseller List.
Thank you so very much, readers, for making this incredible thing happen.
I feel like I should write something more, maybe something polished and accomplished, but to be quite honest, I've been bawling like a baby.
In gratitude and love,
Thea Harrison

Serpent's Kiss is a Featured Pick on Barnes and Noble
New York Times bestselling author Eloisa James has written a review for Barnes and Noble, in which SERPENT'S KISS is one of the five featured picks!
Ms. James writes: "...this is a surprisingly intimate story... Serpent's Kiss is a deeply emotional and truly fabulous romance. Carling has forgotten what it is to be vulnerable, but even while kneeling at her feet, Rune breaks down her barriers and makes her want to live. I absolutely loved Rune, and the way he throws millennia of bachelorhood to the winds, unable to stop himself from falling in love with Carling: "It's everything you were, and everything you are." I dare you not to feel a stab of jealousy for Rune's darling."
You can read the entire article here: http://bnreview.barnesandnoble.com/t5...
I'm honored to be listed in the article with the wonderful authors Ellen Connor, Erin McCarthy, Carrie Lofty and Grace Burrowes.
Thank you, Eloisa James!
