Goodbye 2022 and Hello 2023! Let’s Celebrate and have a Giveaway!
I just hit 50,000 followers here on Goodreads! I’m so excited! I’ve been on Goodreads since February of 2013. I’ve met and interacted with so many amazing readers. I’ve been invited to meet the wonderful people at Goodreads in San Francisco. I’ve met great people there. I’d like to give a special think you to Mimi Chan who has such enthusiasm and a true love of books, authors and readers.
First, let’s reflect a bit.
The year has just flown by. 2022 was a challenge.
I love that readers gave Savage Road a chance and that the book did even better than I expected. Thank you! The fact that this book hit so many bestseller lists just blew me away.
Phantom Game was so fun to write. I appreciate reader following along in this very different direction for the series. Just wait until you read Ghostly Game!
Shadow Fire took us to our first non-Ferraro hero – Eli! The arranged marriage trope is a favorite and this couple ended up such a power couple.
Red on the River was the next in my romantic thriller series. I learned a valuable lesson with that book – I am NOT a good card player. LOL
Dark Whisper allowed me to take some new turns with this series. I got to go back to the Lycans, which I really enjoy.
And then Leopard’s Scar was a surprise even to me! I thought I knew who I was going to write about and then two very new characters came out demanding their story be told first! LOL
2022 was special for a lot of reasons but for me I was extremely proud that this was my son, Brian Feehan’s, first book release- Harmony of Fire. I really enjoyed doing some promo together. We did interviews and went to Hawaii for an event. So much fun!
Now let’s look into the crystal ball toward the future!
I’m hopeful that 2023 will be even better.
Brian has a new book coming out Feb. 21st called Harmony of Lies. I’m so excited for him! He is now a USA Today bestselling author and I hope readers will discover him. His series is so different! And if you'd like a signed and personalized copy of Harmony of Lies you can find it at Gallery Bookshop!
My 2023 line up has new releases, re-releases with new covers and mass market releases!
Recovery Road is my first new release of the year. It will be out January 24th. This is Master’s book and it was a bit surprising for me as well.
Ghostly Game brings us back to Team 3 in San Francisco. I’ve never written a GhostWalker novel quite like this one and I’m so curious as to what my readers will think. That book will be out May 2nd.
Shadow Dance will be released Aug. 22nd. At least tentatively. When the release dates are this far out they are always subject to change. This book takes us to the New York Ferraros where Geno, the head of the family in New York, is our hero. Not to worry, you’ll still see some of our Chicago family.
Dark Memory is the next Dark/Carpathian novel, and it will be released, tentatively, Oct. 3rd. We’re still with the ancients. I’m about to start work on that book very soon.
I am hoping to attend some events this year but can’t really say which ones just yet.
For those of you who have been waiting for a new Carpathian Guide, we hope to that that up in 2023! If you've never seen the guide you can see it on my community. Sign up here.
If you’re still reading this rather long blog, thank you.
To celebrate the milestone 50,000 followers here on Goodreads I thought I’d do a giveaway here from my blog.
Comment which 2022 book you loved most or which 2023 book you’re looking forward to the most and that will put you into the random drawing for a prize. I’ll be drawing three names to receive signed books and one special winner is going to get an amazing gift basket!
I’ll do the drawing on Friday Jan. 6, 2023 at 0900 Pacific Time. I’ll post the name of the winners in the comments on Friday so be sure to come back and look to see if you won!
This is open internationally. Please only post one comment to enter.

Oh this is wonderful! Congratulations on reaching 50k! I loved all the books of 22 and am anticipating each book in 23! But Savage Road was my favorite not just because I love this couple and their growth as individuals and a couple, and not just because of all the revelations about TI plotlines and the possible dangers coming, but because of that dedication, It will always be special for that reason alone! Hugs and Happy New Year!

I'm really excited for Dark Memory! I have read the whole "Dark" series and I'm just in love with all of the different stories. I'm excited to read Brian's new series as well! I'm also excited for the new torpedo ink! So much to look forward to this year. Happy New Years!
I started reading your about 2 or 3 years ago and fell in love your writing. I love how you choose the characters for next books for each series. I really loved that christine actually sent me a little package my birthday this past year. I always am super excited for her new releases and try to get the autographed books when she has them. Thank you for everything you write and do. Also thank you to her team who helps her to be able to do what she does. Much love and support paige
Im so looking forward to Recovery Road! Torpedo Ink is my favorite series of yours! Followed closely by the Shadow series and the Leopard series! I know its not likely ill win, but just know, your books have gotten me through some terrible times and i re read them lots! Thank you for the chance! Congratulations on 50K! Happy New Year! 💜💚
Awesome! Congratulations I Loved the books that you wrote in 2022, I had quite a few Favorites starting with Savage Road, phantom Game, Shadow Fire, was excited for Eli to get his story, Red on the River was also Amazing , I lived in Las Vegas at the time , it gave me a Taste of being at a poker tournament since I am not a gambler and disinterested venture to the strip too often! Leopard Scar was a surprise didn’t know what to expect from 2 new character but Gedeon and Meiling stole my heart! I lLoved it so much that I read and listen to it multiple times, was very hard to let go, they have become my Favorite couple behind Jake and Emma. The Leopard Series is my Favorite ! It got me staring to read your books! 🤗🤗🤗🤗❤️❤️❤️
Congratulations on reaching 50,000 my favorite book last year was all of them. But I especially loved Dark Tarot, although I'm looking forward to Recovery Road
Congratulations! Thank you for your great books! I really am enjoying your Shadow, Dark, and Torpedo Ink Series. I am looking forward to Master’s book and have it preordered twice.
Congrats on this. All of your books are fantastic. I’m most looking forward to the return to team 3 with the GhostWalkers Ghostly Game. Also I’ve become a huge TI fan so Recovery Road is something I can’t wait to get my hands on.
This is so exciting. I loved Shadow Fire, but I can't wait for Recovery Road as I also love TI. Red on the River was a very close 2nd for me. I loved Brian's Harmony of Fire, and look forward to Harmony of Lies
Congratulations on a great milestone!! I’m not surprised though. You are my favorite author! I love your books. It’s been an exciting journey. I love the Carpathian world and can’t stay away too long. I’m a chronic re-reader of these books I must admit. The world you created is a place where dreams can come true. I love this world. I love the Leopard world too. It’s such a different vibe but it a really good way. More modern than the Carpathian world but still a in the vein of living with honor and dignity and I love that.
And then along came Torpedo Ink!!!! My mind was blown!
Christine I don’t know if I have any words to describe how I feel about this series. Just saying Torpedo Ink, well, my heart speeds up, my breath catches in my throat. It’s a total physical and psychological reaction.
I want to wrap this club up in a giant bubble wrap hug and protect them from any more pain! Ha, I know they would hate that. These men and women blow me away. They would not see themselves as I see them. They are survivors in every sense of the word. They are brave and strong and magical.
My heart breaks for them and I want to destroy anyone who ever tries to hurt them again. I get this deep protective streak, da**. It’s hard to explain. Just suffice to say the way you write these beautiful, damaged souls is so extraordinary that it evokes such emotion in me, it’s overwhelming. I’ve yet to pick up one book in the series that I can put down once I start. I actually feel this world I live in fall away and I disappear into the TI world. I dread when they are over. It takes days to shake off the effects of these books.
So, if you haven’t already figured it out, ha! I am so looking forward to Master’s book! It’s on pre-order.
I loved all of the books this last year, but I have been waiting ever since Savage’s books to get the next one!!
Thank you for sharing your wonderful talent with the world!
i started reading ur books a few yrs ago and i fell in love with them. they felt real 2 me like i can actually c them in person or on tv and the way they flow is awesome!! i laugh on some of them and cry on a few others but overall they r one of the best i've ever read.
Congratulations on reaching 50 thousand followers. My favorite release of 2022 was Dark Whisper. The Carpathains were my introduction into your books and I fell in love with Gregory’s character. But I have to confess, the Ghost Walkers and Torpedo Ink run a close second. I’m most looking forward to the next Ghost Walker. I loved reconnecting with previous characters. And I’m also looking forward to Dark Memory, and Brian’s book Harmony Of Lies. I’m eager to find out what’s next for Alice and Owen
Congrats on reaching 50K!!! Gah, I can only choose 1 book!! Probably, I loved Savage's story so Annihilation and savage road and can't wait for the next one Recovery road.
Congratulations on reaching a huge milestone, I'm looking forward to recovery road, i enjoy reading and collecting your books, my shelf is full but looking forward to putting more of your books on it
Congratulations, I absolutely love all the books but I am especially anxiously waiting in Recovery Road, I also have to say Red on the River was a refreshing reading. It amazes me how you can change so much between all your series.
Congratulations on such amazing books! I am always so excited and filled with such anticipation when its close to a release of your new books. Really looking forward to Ghostly Game with the shadow walkers! I also LOVE ur Dark series. Its actualy the series that got me hooked on ur books. Thanks for the give away. Good luck all Happy New Year!
Congratulations on reaching 50k. I love all your books. I read everyone as soon as I can. My favorite for 2022 was Dark Whisper.
I've been a die hard fan since Dark Prince. My favorite book was Dark Whisper and I can't wait for Dark Memory. I wait very impatiently every year for the new Dark Book.Congratulations on reaching 50,000!!!!!! Time to party
What can i say about an author who made fall in love with a group of vampires, especially Gregori. Then came the Ghostwalkers and there twere the most amazing hunks ever seen with Cajun accents. Believe me i looked. Then cam the sisters the bikers and life is never going to be the same. Thank you Christina for the many journeys i have taken and for all the future ones.
I absolutely love your writing, however in addition to Recovery Road, I am most looking forward to Brian's book Harmony of Lies. He definitely got your talent but in his own way.
I absolutely love all of your books but I am engrossed in the Torpedo Ink series and the Dark series and am anxiously waiting for new releases of both in 2023…
I loved all of your series from Gregori, to the Drake brothers, to leopards and Ghostwalkers. Then came the sisters and bikers. Congratulations on your numers and expecting to see them get higher.
I'm looking forward to Dark Memory, it's been interesting reading about the ancients. The Dark Prince were my first foray into this genre and been hooked ever since. It's still taking me a while to get into the Phantom Game (mainly I'm having a hard time getting into the series a lot of starting and stopping on my part, same with the Leopards). I have been enjoying the Ferraro's. Waiting on my copy of Brian's book. Looking forward to reading more books this year.
I loved all the books from 2022 but my favorite would have to be Dark Whisper. The dark series is the frist Christine Feehan series I started and has been my fave. The one im most waiting for in 2023 is Recovery Road from Torpedo Ink. I am really enjoying watching them fall in love and try to move on from the bad
I'm looking forward to Master's story this year. The Torpedo Ink series has quickly become part of my Top 5 favorite series. So I have to say that my fave 2022 book was Savage Road. I loved the growth that they have as both a couple and individuals. But really, I love all of your work and have been a fan for what feels like forever. I can't wait to read more from you and your son this year.
I love all of your books so far. The Dark Series is my favorite. I thoroughly enjoyed the last book. It brought me back into the whole series in a big way.
I am so looking forwad to Shadow Dance. This series has grabbed me from the start.My first book by Christine was Dark Prince.
I was hooked after that.
Thank you, Christine Feehan for all the enjoyment I experience through your books.
Congratulations! I love all of your books. The first one I ever read was Oceans of Fire. Since then I've read them all and love them! I have 2 favorites from 2022. Savage Road and Dark Whisper. I can't wait for the next TI book! I'm obsessed with those characters and the journeys they take to find love! Keep on being amazing! You are by far my Favorite Author!
I love all your books. I think Dark Whisper was my favorite for this year.
I am looking forward to recovery road and dark memory
Congratulations on hitting 50k this year. I love all of your books and look forward to reading them as soon as they are released. Leopard scar had to be one of my favorite books this year. All of your series I love but I’m very much looking forward to Ghostly Games to see what the San Francisco team has been up to. Also looking forward to Brian’s book. Hope you and your family have a happy and healthy New Year. Happy Writing. Lori
I would have to say that Leopard Scar is my favorite. I love how close the couples are and how they are together for life. I love cats and those books is amazing. The book I am looking forward to is Dark Memory, can't wait to see who it is going to be. loving the ancients, I cannot wait for the triplets to find there linemates.
What an achievement congratulations. My favourite book from this year is a tie between shadow fire and savage road. Both series’s have become close to my heart. Love them so much and can’t wait for the next books in these series so I can continue the journey with them

Congrats on 50k followers. Dark Whisper would have to be my fav for 2022. But, of course, I love all your books.
Congratulations! I can't wait to read Recovery Road, especially after seeing the first chapter preview. Good thing there's not much longer to wait. The Torpedo Ink series has been amazing, and where I first started with your books, but I've also enjoyed going back to read Sisters of the Heart, as well as the Leopard and Shadow series.
I am looking forward for Recovery Road and Shadow Dance to come out. Torpedo ink and the shadow series are my all-time favorites. Recovery Road is my birthday present to myself, my birthday is 3 days before it comes out.Congratulations on 50k followers.
Congratulations! So many choices. You write it, I purchase it. I love the Lycans so I choose Dark Whisper. I really enjoyed Savage Road more than I thought. You handle the subject matter beautifully. I'm looking forward to reading Ghostly Game as well as Dark Memory. I'm really enjoying the storylines and you give us the best villians.
Congrats on 50,000! I really loved Dark Whisper and Leopards Scar...along with Savage!! I cannot wait for the newest Torpedo Ink book!! Of course, I can't wait for all of them in that series LOL! It has sucked me in and all the TI members just need their HEA! Thank you for the great books you write!
Wow, congratulations! You are always so generous to your fans; I appreciate this in an author. Your gifts are simply amazing. My favorite book of 2022 was Dark Tarot. What a beautiful cover! The illustrations/tarot cards are stunning and the story is wonderful.
I loved all the books that came out in 2022. But, Savage Road was my favorite! Congratulations on reaching 50K followers.
This is absolutely amazing. Thank you for the opportunity as always you are amazing and i love getting lost in your stories
Omg, Congratulations! Leopard Scar was a really great book! Awesome giveaway! Thanks so much for the chance!
So much to look forward to and so many books to read in 2023 I can hardly wait. I finished Red on the River about a week ago and it did not disappoint it was great. Leopard's Scar was different and kept me on my toes. Dark Whisper was awesome and amazing as well. I'm re-reading Dark Tarot since Dark Memory will be about another of the ancients and I want to keep up on all the tall dark and handsome hunks. Now if I can just wait till Recovery Road comes out in 20 days. Thank you Christine for fulfilling my book needs. Susan Eichler
Congratulations on 50k readers! I loved all of the 2022 releases. I loved both of Savage’s books! I love Torpedo Ink! Dark Whisper and Dark Tarot have been my favorite in the Dark series, I have now bought both sets of tarot cards and boxes. I can’t wait for the other two gatekeeper’s books. I started with the Leopard series with my mom. We would read each of your books and discuss each of them together. She was bedridden the last four years of her life and this was something that she and I could share. I have since bought and read all of your books. I feel it still brings me close to her.
