New York Times Bestselling author Nalini Singh is here today! (Are we lucky or what?) I’ve read the first in her Guild Hunter series–Angels Blood and become a true fan of this talented lady. I’m looking forward to reading the popular Psy/Changeling series.
Nalini is here to tell us about Branded by Fire, which comes out in July of this year. She’s been generous enough to do a giveaway of a signed copy of one book or novella from her backlist of the Psy/Changeling series (winner’s choice). This contest is open internationally!
Hailed by Christine Feehan as “a major new talent,” New York Times bestselling author Nalini Singh now brings together two fierce changelings in her most explosive story yet.
Branded by Fire
Though DarkRiver sentinel Mercy is feeling the pressure to mate, she savagely resists when Riley Kincaid, a lieutenant from the SnowDancer pack, tries to possess her. The problem is not simply that he pushes her buttons; the problem is that he’s a wolf, she’s a cat, and they’re both used to being on top.
But when a brilliant changeling researcher is kidnapped from DarkRiver territory, Mercy and Riley must work together to track the young man—before his shadowy captors decide he’s no longer useful. Along the way, the two dominants may find that submitting to one another uncovers not just a deadly conspiracy, but a passion so raw that it’ll leave them both branded by fire…

BK: Thank you for joining us, Nalini!
What is sure to distract you from sitting down and working/writing?
NS: A good book! I have to be very careful not to start a book I’m looking forward to while I’m hard at work, because I always want to read it through as fast as possible.
BK: What are you working on presently? What about upcoming releases?
NS? I’ve just completed the second book in my Guild Hunter series, which will be coming out next year. At the moment, I’m taking a short break before diving into my next Psy/Changeling manuscript.
As to releases, I have several this year ““ Branded By Fire (July) and Blaze of Memory (Nov) are both part of the Psy/Changeling series.
I’ve also got a novella “Angels’ Judgment” in the Must Love Hellhounds anthology (Sep). This novella is set in the Guild Hunter world.
And last but not least, the anthology An Enchanted Season, which includes my very first novella, is being re-released in mass market format in November. (It originally came out in trade paperback.)
BK: Busy, busy lady. You’re fans will be ecstatic. :) What’s the best compliment you ever got on your writing or a book?
NS? I think when a reader writes to tell me that they couldn’t put down the book, that’s a wonderful compliment, because it tells me I’ve done what I set out to do—write a book that grabs you and doesn’t let go.
BK: If you could time travel to any time or place—the past or future—where and when would you go to, and why?
NS: It depends on my mood ““ at the moment, I think I’d like to go back to the time of exploration, when the world was full of uncharted corners. It would, I think, be a whole lot of fun to go find new places, new worlds.
BK: It’s been a real treat to have you here today, Nalini. Best of luck with all your upcoming releases!

Hi Nalini,
Exploring times would be an interesting time to travel to. It must have been exciting to discover new lands.
Hugs, Danette
Comment
Great interview! Glad you could join us and thanks for letting us know about more books I must add to my to be read list.
Comment
I’d love to have this book. Have a great day.
Comment
Hi Nalini,
The first book I read of your was your novella Stroke of Enticement in the anthology The Magical Christmas Cat. I bought it because I am a huge Lora Leigh fan, and after reading your story I had to go out and find as much as I could from your backlist because I liked it so much.
That is the one great thing that I like about the anthologies, sometimes you discover a new author you might never picked up otherwise.
Comment
Hi Nalini,
I’m fairly new to your books, I only have one Psy-Changeling book in my collection. I’m looking forward to reading the rest of the series.
Comment

Hi Nalini!
I loev your books! I can’t wait to read Branded By Fire. Your Psy-Changeling series is awesome and your Guild Hunter series, WOW! Loved Angel’s Blood couldn’t put it down.
Comment
I love this series. It’s so creative and unusual. I really enjoyed the interview as well!
Comment
I love your psy/changeling books. Am looking forward to the next one.
Comment
Hey Nalini,
I love your books and cannot wait for Mercy+Riley’s book to come out. Just wondering, but will you put another excerpt of BbF before July or another sneak peek (maybe in June)? Also, is the ‘Katya Haas’, the heroine of BoM, really Ekatrina from HtP?
Renee
Comment
Hi Everyone! Thanks for the welcome. I hope you all enjoy Branded By Fire when it releases! (The giveaway will be a backlist book, not BBF, as it’s not out till July) :-)
Renee, I’ll see what I can do about an excerpt. As for Dev’s heroine…I’m going to leave you in suspense!
Comment
Another great interview. I just recently started reading Hostage to Pleasure and I am really enjoying this series. Will definitely be checking out, Branded With Fire.
Comment
Hi Nalini…great interview. I already have all your books and absolutely love them. Can hardly wait for Branded by Fire!!!
Comment
Hi, Nalini! I read your contribution to An Enchanted Season and had to go back and start collecting your other Psy Changeling stories. Thanks for the interview!
Comment
Hey Nalini! Love your psy/changeling series. I can’t wait for the two that you have coming out this year. I also love your guild hunters series. Great interview.
Comment
Hi Nalini!
You spoil us way too much. I mean, three novels and two novellas this year!! We’ll be expecting the same next year.
But in having said that, when are we going to get an excerpt for BoM? I’m so spoiled! 
Comment
Two more Psy-Changelings books this year, what a treat! Love that series, Nalini. Dorian is my absolute favorite. Thanks for the interview!
Comment
Great Interview! I have Angels’ Blood on top of my TBR pile and can’t wait to dive in!
Comment
Nice interview, Beth and Nalini! I’m definitely looking forward to your upcoming release, Nalini.
Comment
I’ve heard some really great things about you. Yeah, you can guess that I’ve never read the books only because I never really ran across your books until some friends were shooting off suggestions. Another friend was weeding out her books, and sent me two of your books (I know one is a hardcopy) but sadly none of them are the first books.
Comment
Hi Beth and Nalini! I know too when I have a book I’ve been looking forward to, nothing can bug me either so I can read it all!! You have so much this year! Thanks for all you do!
Comment
I am definitely ready for Branded By Fire to be released! I want to read it so badly!!
Comment
just wanted to say your books both series are fantastic. And I am anxiously awaiting a new one of either series. You on my autobuy list and usually a preorder lol
Comment
Great interview! Makes me want to read them.
Comment
Branded by Fire sounds great!
Comment
Sounds like an awesome series that I can really get into!
Comment
Good evening ladies!!! Sorry I am late to the party…!
Beth, thanks for having some cool contests!!! Drop my name in the random bag to be pulled from. These books sound like an absolute treat to read!!! Thanks for introducing me to another great author to put on my list!
Comment
Hi Nalini and Beth
Comment
Sorry about that…I do not know what happened.
I am really looking forward to starting your series. I have the first few in my tbr pile and am eager to start them.
Great interview!
Comment
This is such a fabulous series, so happy we get two this year, now if July would hurry up and get her. Judd’s my favorite so far, then Lucas. If you haven’t tried the series yet, highly recommended.
Renee, good try on Katya, but you know Nalini is too good at teasing and keeping secrets.
Comment
Oh, I’ve had many “couldn’t put down” moments with the Psy/Changeling series. Looking forward to more!
Comment
I have both your new releases on my calender and should go preorder from the bookstore. Love the Psy/Changelings and can’t wait to visit with them soon.
