Dark elves & dragons... READ TODAY!
Putting on my Ariana Nash hat for a few moments, I'm thrilled to let you know you can buy and read Silk & Steel today, direct from me if you're a Kobo, Google Play, Apple Books, Nook reader.
This is a LIMITED TIME offer. More on that below...
Preorders are also live on Amazon and the series will be in Kindle Unlimited when it launches on Amazon, Jan 18th.
So why early direct sales? Without boring you with all the details, ebooks that are available in KU cannot be sold anywhere else. Readers from Google, Apple, etc, often have to wait for new releases, sometimes 3 months, sometimes more, because of Amazon's exclusivity clause. Well, I wanted a way for my wide readers to be able to enjoy Silk & Steel but because it's a new series, and it needs to sell well if future books are scheduled, it really must go into Kindle Unlimited for maximum exposure.
Having direct sales available from my website, gives wide readers a chance to grab it BEFORE it's locked into Amazon. But I can only offer this for two weeks (until Jan 18th). So if you're a Kobo, Nook reader etc, you'll need to buy it from my website before Jan 18th. After that, it won't be available outside Amazon.
Please spread the word as much as you can. I really do want wide readers to be able to get their grabby hands on Lysander and Eroan and once it's locked into Amazon, it'll be there for the foreseeable future.
Please like this blog post, please mention it in reader groups and let's get Silk & Steel into as many "wide" reader hands as possible before it's gone.
Buy direct from www.ariananashbooks.com
Thank you! And happy reading. <3

The Dreamweaver is back...
Cover Reveal & Pre-order NEWS!
“Oh what a tangled web we weave…”
Kesh fled Faerie as a queen killer. Now she returns as the Faerie King’s secret obsession. But on Faerie, nothing is as it seems, not even Kesh herself.
With days to stop Arran’s execution and the stoic guardian, Sirius, as her constant shadow, Kesh must weave her lies deep within Faerie’s courts where magic and whispers combine and conspire. Soon, Kesh learns there is more at stake than Arran’s life. Faerie is dying. Oberon’s reign is crumbling. The time to strike against the fae is now. But with Talen, Kellee and Sota a thousand light-years away, Kesh cannot succeed alone…
Beneath the courtly politics, the glittering facades, and the King’s fragile hold on his people, the Dreamweaver is locked in eternal slumber, dreaming of the day his Queen of Hearts will set him free… because he knows, Kesh Lasota has no other choice.
Kesh survived the Dreamweaver once before. Now all she has to do is control him.
But Faerie's Dreamweaver has other ideas for the peoples’ Messenger. He knows who, and what Kesh really is and he has every intention of using her to make all his dreams come true.
"He takes your mind, makes it his, takes your soul, makes you cruel.
Dare you answer the Dreamweaver’s call?"
Preorder now at Amazon and don't forget to add Prince of Dreams to your shelves.

Jet lag, Boston Fantasy Fest and the next Messenger book...
I'm back from Boston Fantasy Fest and trying to get to grips with jet lag, so I apologize now for any errors you're about to encounter. It's a miracle I can remember my own name after the nightmare of a journey back to the UK. But I am back, and plowing full steam ahead into preparations for the third Messenger book. Things are just warming up for Kesh, Kellee, Talen, Arran and Sota. The third book: The Nightshade's Touch sees our foursome starting to find their feet as a team, only to have those foundations tested as they find themselves stranded on an abandoned farming planet. Unfortunately, they're not alone. Oberon can no longer afford to ignore Kesh's actions and sends one of four elite guardians to capture her. Then there's the small issue of slaughtered farming colonies with suspicious vakaru-like wounds. Oh, and let's not forget the monsters with a single name on their lips: Nightshade. The Nightshade's Touch is the third book in the planned five-book Messenger series and it isn't just the plot that's heating up. Kesh might be saru, but she can't resist the temptation of Talen, Kellee and Arran for much longer. If only they could get past all those pesky trust issues!
A lot of questions from the first two books are answered in Nightshade. Our heroes pasts start to be revealed, and with them, some terrible truths are exposed. Truths that will either tear the Messenger and her men apart or bring them closer together. Are their bonds strong enough?
I dive into edits this week and have it scheduled for an August release. I'll publish a date once it's more solid. This one will only be a short preorder, so make sure you're signed up to my mailing list for all the news.
Boston Fantasy Fest was an epic gathering of some of the coolest most awesomest (it's now a word) authors ever. I finally got to meet so many authors who I've friended (or they've befriended me) over the years, including James Hunter (Cataclysm, Domino FinnDead Man, Jex Lane Captive and more. It was a stellar line-up of professionals and if you get a chance to go to the next one (possibly West Coast in 2019) definitely do. There's something magical (and a little bit dark ;) ) about a room full of urban fantasy authors and these guys were so much fun to meet in person.
There's lots more happening in the Pippa DaCosta house, so don't forget to check my Facebook readers group including a first look at the next Messenger cover and exclusive character artwork.
See you there! Oh, and make sure you add The Nightshade's Touch to your shelves.

The messenger is back, and the lies must go on...
The Messenger rocked your world, and now she's back. But have her lies finally caught up with her? Trust doesn't come easy for Kesh Lasota. She survived life as a slave, survived the Dreamweaver's touch, but surviving Marshal Kellee and the mysterious Talen is a whole other game, one she's not sure she's ready for.
When the three are captured by a bloodthirsty fae general sweeping through the last of Halow's human colonies, the only weapons they have left are lies. And so Kesh must pretend to be the gladiator they all expect, while Kellee is forced to fight against her, and Talen is... Well, just who is Talen when he can command soldiers with a glance and move among the fae elite as though he belongs?
Trust doesn't come easy for Kesh Lasota, neither does love. She must survive both, or everything she's fought for will be lost forever, including her men.
Pre-order now at Amazon Out May 18th.
