Hi all! Just a reminder to keep the comments on the other threads spoiler free, as lots of people are still waiting for their copies of Tangle of Need.
However, you can discuss the book with spoilers in the comments to this post only. This is a space for fans to talk to one another - if you have questions specifically for me, shoot me an email. I'm way behind but hoping to catch up over the next few weeks, so be patient if you don't get a response straight away.
If you haven't yet read the book, and don't want to be spoiled, look away! I'll place a bookmark to this thread in the sidebar , so you'll be able to come back and join in the discussion once you have read the book.
As always, please respect one another's opinions, even if you disagree. Happy discussing!

Interviews
Tangle of Need is now out! First up I want to share a really cool review quote. (I'll have more review links for you over the week.)
"As the Psy edge closer to civil war, Riaz and Adria are battered by politics, violence, and their compulsive attraction to each other...The action is also driven by past protagonists whose romances continue to develop realistically. Singh handles the division with deft style, weaving threads of her previous tales into the looming conflict without ever neglecting the budding relationship.
Perhaps more important for returning readers, she stays beautifully faithful to her own mythology, creating a truly satisfying romance and compelling action in one of her strongest episodes to date."
- Publishers Weekly, Starred Review
I've done a number of interviews recently and they'll be going live over the next couple of weeks. The first one is now up at USA Today's Happy Ever After blog. Fellow author Pamela Clare asked some great questions.
Also, I have a short post up at the Australian Romance Readers blog as well.

Hawke growled. "Careful."
An unrepentant grin creasing the smooth dark of a face that had beguiled many a woman, Matthias put Sienna on her feet. "He ever chase you down a corridor again, sweetheart, you know who to call."
Sienna held her own. "I think I rather enjoy being caught."____________
I did a blog post for Fresh Fiction, talking about continuing character and its up now, so swing by and have a read. :-)

"That'll rot your teeth," Evie said, crunching on a potato chip, the lustrous ebony of her hair curling over the shoulders of her white cashmere cardigan.
"Pot. Kettle. Black."
"God I love salt." Another crunch. "Since I have no shame, I'm going to ask you what it's like being mated."____________
Question: What do you all think of shifting to threaded comments on the blog? Yes, no, ambivalent?

(Before I post the quote, a request - when you get your copies please don't post any spoilers on the usual threads for a couple of weeks, as the UK/Aus/NZ release date is June 7th. I'll put up a special spoiler thread for you. And for the UK/Aus/NZ folks, I'll put up some extra quotes to tide you over! :-))

Dimple appearing to dangerous effect, he touched her boot with his, playful as a pup. "We'll have fun."
"Yes," she said, wolf padding happily inside her skin, "we will."

"Are all men so bloodthirsty?"
"Lara's father showed me his tools - then we had an illuminating conversation about how easy it would be to cut a person in half using one of the lasers. It was very civilized."
Hope you're all having a fantastic start to the weekend!

Friday Book Club & Tangle of Need
5 Days to go till TANGLE OF NEED releases!! A fun quote for Friday!
"Say sorry."
"Never." Elbowing the man to free herself, Mercy made the introductions. "Everyone, this is my brother, Bastien, otherwise known as a pain in the neck, and an excellent cook. Bas, these are wolves who will fall upon you and devour you if you so much as blink wrong."__________
The Friday Book club is now open! What are you reading and loving at the moment? I'm all about Cooper and Grace right now. :-)

When she poked her head up from the sheets to see him walking into the room dressed in nothing but a towel hitched around his hips, a cup of coffee in hand, she simply stopped breathing for a second.
"Come here," she said when she could speak again. He smelled of soap and man and coffee, and she wanted only to rub her face against his chest, indulge the deep sensory need he both created and filled in her.__________
Also, I recently interviewed Gemmell Award nominated spec fic writer Helen Lowe and the interview's now up at On the Realm, so swing by and have a read. :-)

Riley shot him an openly concerned look after Riaz left. "It might go better coming from me."
Hawke didn't take it wrong--Riley wasn't only his senior lieutenant, he was also Hawke's friend, knew exactly how this might make him behave. "No, I've got it. ______________
Also, a heads-up: Brenda Novak's auction to raise money for diabetes research, is winding down to a close. However, there's still a week or so left to bid on a ton of items - including coffee with me in Anaheim, so check it out!

"Alerted by the psychic reminder, he paused, reworked his search algorithm to halt at the first sign of a trip wire or sensor. By the time Silver walked back into his office, he was facing his desk once more, even as his mind hummed with a task that would've taken the full attention of most normal cardinals.
Kaleb had never been normal. Not in any way."
