It was in Visions of Heat (I think) and it mentioned Anthony received an email from 'the Ghost' so it wasn't Anthony lying.

by Lulu2011 Wed Apr 04, 2012 12:03 pm

Tabitha, thanks. I have Visions on my kindle so I can go look it up pretty easily. I think I'm going to need to eventually buy all of them for my kindle so I can take them with me everywhere. KoS is now down to $7.99 for the kindle.

by tabitha Wed Apr 04, 2012 1:17 pm

I have them all on my kindle too, don't you just love kindle Smile

the only down side is when books are released in the US first then I still buy a paper copy as I can't wait for the UK kindle version Very Happy

I do love my kindle. It's so easy to look things up, highlight favorite quotes or passages, that kind of thing. It's also nice to have things download at 9:00 pm the night before the release since that's12:00 am on the east coast. No more being embarassed over the covers of books either!

Amen, ladies.

Tangle of Need Excerpt:

"(The characters are just leaving the area being replanted).

Laughing, the three of them headed for the truck. Hawke jumped into the flatbed at the back, alongside Riaz. As they were the final three to leave, it was a peaceful if yet barren view that drew away from them when Felix started the engine and began the journey home.

Back propped against the cab of the truck, Riaz let the wind rifle through his hair, grunting when the ride turned bumpy. “Doesn’t this thing have hover facility?”

“I’d answer but I think I just lost a tooth.”

The hydraulics sounded on the heels of Hawke’s words, creaking and groaning before they successfully lifted the truck off the ground.

“It’s well past time we replaced this,” the alpha said, patting the side of the truck. “But Eli was the one who originally bought it for the pack, and he’s attached to the rust bucket. I think he calls it Sheila.”

“Sheila?” Riaz grinned. This was why he’d come home, heart-bruised and licking his wounds, wary of the solitude that had always been so integral to his nature. No one could fix the hurt, but his pack . . . they gave him the gift of laughter, wrapped him in warmth, and kept him busy."

What? nothing about Sienna? Blasphemy!

by Lulu2011 Thu Apr 05, 2012 8:03 am

Thanks! I love Hawke so much.

And there is a temporary patch on Nalini's blog so it's possible to comment again on her posts.

by Elisabeth Fri Apr 06, 2012 2:13 pm

MORE

by Lulu2011 Fri Apr 13, 2012 8:44 am

Didn't quite know where to post this but here is a link to the Romantic Times Convention daily blog that summarizes Nalini's panel discussion with Jeaniene Frost and Charlaine Harris from yesterday. Nalini talks about Guild Hunter as well as the Ghost among other things:

http://www.rtbookreviews.com/rt-daily-blog/close-and-personal-three-our-favorite-paranormal-writers-frost-harris-and-singh

I do wonder if there is a transcript somehwere?

by Lulu2011 Tue Apr 17, 2012 6:02 pm

Didn't anyone win an ARC? Do we have to wait like the rest of the masses for end of May? Sad

When, oh when, will we get some more quotes and excerpts?

by Roxsan Tue Apr 17, 2012 7:43 pm

I, sadly, did not win an ARC. I do, however, live roughly 2 hours away from Nalini. I would find out her exact location and pay a visit to demand an ARC, but outside of being creepy, that would take her away from writing/editing Archangel's Storm which I am eagerly awaiting the release of. Cool

by Lulu2011 Tue Apr 17, 2012 8:29 pm

Yes, that would be creepy, and we can not have you arrested for stalking either. Smile

Since you live close by, have you ever attended one of her local signings?

by Roxsan Wed Apr 18, 2012 12:56 am

I haven't! Up until 2 months ago, I didn't have a vehicle. Now that I do I'm definitely going to go to the next one she has...granted that it's in the north island of New Zealand Wink

by Lulu2011 Wed Apr 18, 2012 9:25 am

Well, if you do get a chance to go to a local signing, take some pictures for us and post them! That would be so fun.

by Roxsan Wed Apr 18, 2012 1:35 pm

Will do! I'll also take questions if I get a chance to attend one of her Q & A sessions too Wink

by Lulu2011 Wed Apr 18, 2012 2:19 pm

That would be great. A couple people on this forum may be going to the Love Letter Convention in Berlin in early June where Nalini is appearing. They are working on a list of questions. You can add to their list if you have something you'd like to know too. It's in "Love Letter Convention Berlin" topic in the "General" thread.

by Lulu2011 Wed Apr 18, 2012 6:12 pm

Nalini has an extensive blog post up about her time at the RT Convention in Chicago last week. Take a look at the link: http://www.nalinisingh.blogspot.com/

That picture of the approach to the Auckland airport just looks amazing!

Here is a tiny excerpt of that blog post where she talks about the Cooper/Grace novella that she was able to work on while flying (17-18 hours flight time plus extra time to go to and from the airport):

Cooper & Grace novella news:
However, there is an upside to all the traveling. I've had Cooper and Grace's story in my head for a while now, and I wrote some scenes during the convention, but yesterday and today, while I was waiting for flights, and during the trip itself, I started working on it in earnest and did something like seventeen thousand words. It's all very rough, but I'm fairly certain this is going to be a courtship story - let's just say Coop's got some moves.

by Sarah18 Thu Apr 19, 2012 1:37 pm

I already know that I´m going to love the Cooper & Grace novella Very Happy

New Tangle of Need Excerpt:

"This takes place during Hawke and Sienna's mating ceremony, and yep, you do get to see the entire ceremony in the book.

Excerpt from Tangle of Need

Matthias’s jaw brushed her hair. “No pressure, darling.” They danced in warm silence until Adria caught a scent that made her spine lock—right before Matthias said, “I think someone’s about to steal you away.”

Not wanting to make a scene and mar the celebration, she didn’t protest when Matthias stepped back. “Take care of my girl,” he warned.

Riaz muttered something pithy in Spanish that made Matthias laugh, but all Adria could hear as he took her into his arms was the frantic beat of her pulse, thudding in time to his own. Too fast, both of them, their skin too hot.

“Why are you doing this?” she whispered, her voice stripped bare.

Riaz’s answer sounded torn out of him. “I can’t stop myself.”

He shifted her closer, the move so unexpected, she didn’t resist—and found herself plastered to the hard strength of him. His arousal pushed into her abdomen, the hot male scent of him seeping into her veins until she could taste the dark forests and biting citrus of him against her tongue.
