The Cover You Must See...
As the countdown continues to the title/cover reveal for Psy/Changeling #12, I've been getting more and more suggestions about what the book might be titled, including the "Unknown Nalini Singh Book of Secrecy and Possibly Mayhem" (I like the sound of this!).
Then yesterday on Twitter, author Elyssa Patrick not only posted a title but a mock cover. After I recovered from the sheer genius of it, I asked her if I could share it here.
Are your ready to see it?
*Please don't have any coffee, tea, other liquids in your mouth when you do.*
You have been warned!
I love it! As for whether or not Elyssa's guess is correct or way off the mark...you shall have to wait and see ;-)
Less than three days go till the (actual) cover/title reveal!!

Night Owl Post
I'm up late today, working on GH #6. It's fun to be back in New York for this book.
I had an interesting question put to me on Facebook, asking how authors felt going back to reread their earlier works. I thought blog readers might be interested in my answer too, so here it is:
I can only answer for myself, but I absolutely get caught up in the story - going back lets me enjoy the story as a whole, and since I totally trust the author to take care of the characters (*grin*), it's a lovely, relaxing reading experience.
As an aside, being caught up in the story also happens during the writing process, in a different way - I know a scene is powerful when it has a visceral impact on me. I have been known to sob heartbroken over a keyboard (A particular scene in Blaze of Memory had me crying every time I edited it. I still cry when I read it.)
Okay, heading back to Elena and Raphael (and maybe Aodhan for this scene). Have an awesome day / night everyone, depending on your timezone. :-)

WILD INVITATION ARC CONTEST
If you'd like to go in the random draw to win one of four Advanced Reading/Review Copies of Wild Invitation, send an e-mail to naliniDOTassistantATgmailDOTcom with:
- "WILD INVITATION ARC Contest" in the subject line; and - your mailing address
By 7pm, 20th January, 2013, 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, and your mailing address to post out the ARC if you win.)
Since this is an Advanced Review Copy, if you win, we'd ask that you please post a review somewhere before the release date (March 5th) - 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 : )
The fine print: Contest is open internationally. One entry per household. No purchase necessary to enter. Winner will be chosen randomly using random.org and his or her name posted on this blog on Monday, January 21st, 2013. Void where prohibited.

Wild Invitation Excerpts and More!
The website has just been updated, including with excerpts of all four WILD INVITATION novellas, so swing by and check it out!~
If you're in the UK & Commonwealth, and you had trouble getting hold of Angels' Pawn, Angels' Dance, Angel's Wolf, or Angels' Judgment, they are now all available separately as ebooks, or together in Angels' Flight !
You can see the new cover to the bottom right.
(Angels' Flight has a slightly different release date in Austraila and NZ.) ~
Don't forget, Angels' Dance is also available as a stand-alone ebook in the US & Canada. See the cover to the left!
Also, if you're a Galen and Jessamy fan, I'm working on a short story featuring these two. :-)

At last year's conventions, I had some "I ♥ Judd" and "Judd is my Boyfriend" buttons. They were created for me by The Busy Badger, and if you missed out on getting a button and would like one, she now has them up in her Etsy store (along with magnets). :-)

All About Romance's Annual Reader Poll is now live. So go forth and nominate your favorite books of 2012
