Red Kiwifruit

Tonight's dessert. Had to share! Only the second time I've had the red kiwifruit. I put a golden kiwi next to it for contrast. Both were yummy!

Friday Book Club

The Friday Book Club is now open!

I've had a special request from a reader who wondered if everyone could share their top five favorite series, so please give her some good recommendations! And also, let us know what you're reading this week.

Ready, set, go! :-)

Night Shift Anthology - November 25th

News about the Psy-Changeling novella I mentioned a while back! Bastien's story will be in the NIGHT SHIFT anthology later this year. Bastien is Mercy's oldest brother, first seen in BRANDED BY FIRE. Check out the amazing lineup! 

No cover yet, but it should be coming soon. :-)

Four masters of urban fantasy and paranormal romance plunge readers into the dangerous, captivating world unearthed beyond the dark...

New York Times bestselling author Nalini Singh delivers a smoldering story with Secrets at Midnight , as the scent of Bastien Smith’s elusive lover ignites a possessiveness in him that’s as feral as it is ecstatic. And now that he’s found his mate, he’ll do anything to keep her.

In #1 New York Times bestselling author Ilona Andrews’ novella, Magic Steals , when people start going missing, shapeshifting tigress Dali Harimau and jaguar shifter Jim Shrapshire must uncover the truth about the mysterious creatures responsible.

From Milla Vane—a warrior princess must tame The Beast of Blackmoor to earn a place among her people. But she quickly discovers that the beast isn't a monster, but a barbarian warrior who intends to do some taming himself.

It’s seer Makenna Frazier's first day on the job at Supernatural Protection and Investigations, and her first assignment is more than she bargained for when bodyguard duty for a leprechaun prince’s bachelor party goes every which way but right in national bestselling author Lisa Shearin’s Lucky Charms.

Amazon paperback pre-order already up! (Thanks Shayera for the heads up). Ebook & more paperback pre-order links to come as they go live.

Website Updated

The website's been updated, including with the first chapter of Shield of Winter , as well as the short stories Weapons Training and Clean and Dirty , so if you missed any of those in the newsletters, swing by the site. The links to all the updates are down on the right hand side of the front page. :-) 

Writing

Monday mid-morning in New Zealand, and I'm obsessively working on ARCHANGEL'S SHADOWS. Things are afoot! 

Hope you all had a good weekend! (Some of you are probably still in the weekend, so hope it's going great).

Travel: High Atlas Mountains, Morocco

I took this in the High Atlas Mountains in Morocco. I love how the roads ribbon through the mountain range, and the sky is so clear. The vehicles  to the right give you an indication of the scale of the landscape.

One of these days, when you least expect it, this mountain range will appear in a book. :-)
