Last Guard is here!

I loved working on Payal and Canto's story. They have such a powerful bond - one that isn't at all what you might expect from a woman described as "robotic" by her enemies, and a man who prefers the shadows.

I had such an extraordinary time with them as I wrote the book, and I can't wait for you to meet them. And of course, it was wonderful to catch up with several secondary characters too. In honor of whom, I give you one of my favorite little bits from the book:

"He’d once put out a sign saying: I don’t want visitors.

It had been replaced by a sign that read: We’re not visitors. We’re bears."

Because...bears. :)

I hope this book makes you smile, but most of all, I hope it makes you fall in love with Payal and Canto and their story.

In writing news, I'm currently going over the proofs of Archangel's Light, checking for those final sneaky typos. Excerpt coming soon.

And, for Hard Play fans, I've started to work on Danny's book. It'll be a 2022 release, but no confirmed release date yet. I'll update you as soon as I have that.

"Last Guard is easily one of my favorite books of 2021! It’s also one of my favorite books in this series – which is saying a lot considering so many of the books are absolutely amazing." ~ The Alliterates

"The world building in this series [is] beyond compare, and the characters are amazing, and unforgettable. I cannot recommend this series, and this book, highly enough!" ~Megan (Goodreads)

"Incredible." ~ Eden E. (Netgalley)

"...a complex, beautiful, diverse book with rich characters that will leave you deeply satisfied but also craving more." ~ @Reads_Romance (Teresa) on Instagram

"I could honestly go on and on about this book...I’m so excited to see where the series goes from here." ~ Book Binge

"Does Nalini Singh write anything that isn’t epic? Last Guard was an exquisite slow burn romance that also had a wildly exciting plot." ~ Harlequin Junkie

"Last Guard is an emotional tsunami that hits you hard in all the feels when two lost souls deemed imperfect by their race come together to save the world and in turn, fall in love and save themselves. " ~ Tori B. (Netgalley)

"Powerful, emotional, sexy, romantic, and smart - I loved this romance and I can already tell I'll be re-reading it often as a comfort book." ~ Stephanie (Goodreads)

"Canto and Payal are amazing! They would burn the world for each other..." ~ @shaegeeksout (Shae) on Instagram

"...would recommend it to anyone who enjoys deep worldbuilding and excellent characterization. You really can’t go wrong with a Nalini Singh Psy-Changeling book!" ~ Annie, Fresh Fiction

"This story is an intense, in some places, dark ride for readers of the series. It is a reminder that every person, despite their strengths or seeming lack of them, is important and can change the world." ~Lynn, Outlander Book Club

"Singh is truly a master of paranormal romance. I have laughed, I have cried, I have smiled while tears rolled silently down my cheeks. This book was no exception. Canto and Payal broke my heart into teeny pieces and then glued it back together again." ~ asthebookends

Signed Copies: Mighty Ape

Signed copies of Last Guard are also available via Mighty Ape.

They, too, ship internationally.

I dropped by their HQ on Monday to sign a serious mountain of books and I know some have already hit people's mailboxes, but I signed extras, so you still have a good chance of getting a signed copy if you order now. :-)

Something Fun: Adventures in Miniature-Making

If you follow me on Instagram or Facebook, you'll know that I got into making miniatures last year during lockdown.

I find it very therapeutic to do something with my hands at the end of the day, even if it's only for fifteen minutes or half an hour.

This means that sometimes, it takes me months to finish a project, but the fun thing is that there's no rush. Each tiny thing I make as part of the project - whether it's a teensy flower or a miniature book or a piece of furniture - delights me.

My current miniature-in-progress is probably going to take a while yet to finish, but I found these photos of a miniature I made from a kit sometime last year.

You can't see it in these images, but there's a tiny Kiss of Snow hidden in there!
