The Naravan Chronicles Continue

Book 2 in the Naravan Chronicles series, INTERFACE, is officially OUT NOW! This is a shorter story, originally published in DREAM QUEST edited by Linnea Sinclair and JC Wilder. And now it's back as a stand alone.

INTERFACE (The Naravan Chronicles 2)
eBooks: Amazon | Kobo | iBooks | B&N Nook | Smashwords |

When Gina’s nanotech research leads to murder and death threats, her father hires private mercenaries to protect her. Alex has a rule. No romantic relationships with clients. That rule goes out the airlock when he meets Gina. But protecting her means ignoring his feelings and hers, and Alex isn’t good at ignoring things…

Next up in the series, SECRET (Book 3), which will be out May 11, 2018 (I just finished setting up the pre-order!). SECRET was originally published as THE SECRET OF NARAVA, so if you've already bought that book, you're good. This version hasn't been substantially changed.

Like the other re-releases, SECRET will be specially priced at only $0.99 for the pre-order and the
first week of release. If you're working your way through the series on the lead up to the new release in the fall, this is the time to buy the book!

A little nice review news: PROMISE (The Naravan Chronicles 1) got a lovely review from the Red Headed Book Lovers blog. She really enjoyed my little twist on the idea of an invasion story, which was cool *grin*.

In addition to the review, PROMISE is now officially out in print! You can find the PRINT EDITIONS here: Amazon | B&N | Book Depository (for free international shipping). You should also be able to special order the book from most bookstores.

I'm heading over to set up the INTERFACE print edition now, so look out for that soon. And don't forget, if you'd like to keep up to date on my re-releases, new releases, and some general fun stuff I have planned down the line, please join my newsletter. I promise I don't clutter your inbox!

Happy Reading!

Launching into Spring

Thanks to everyone who followed me around on my two blog tours! For those of you who missed the Review Tour, BRIGHTARROW BURNING got some lovely reviews from all of the hosts.

The Book Queen's Palace 5 Stars!
Words of Wisdom from the Scarf Princess B-!
Kindling the Fire 4 Book Stacks!
Escape Reality, Read Fiction! B!
The ParaRomance Club 4 Hearts!

Thanks to all the lovely bloggers who hosted me and who took the time to review my book!

SIGHTINGS: April is RomanticTimes Booklover Convention month in Chicago! I'll be signing at both the Ebook Expo on Thursday April 12 and at the Book Fair on Saturday April 14, as well as doing a few panels and hanging out in ClubRT. If you're attending the Conference or in the Chicago area, stop in and say hi!

NEW RELEASE: Coming soon in June, the long awaited sequel to THE PROMISE OF KIERNA'RHOAN will be released by Tirgearr Publishing. I'm so excited about THE SECRET OF NARAVA finally hitting the virtual shelves! And didn't Tirgearr give me a beautiful cover?

And here's the official blurb:

Their discovery could lead to war…
Paleontologist, Dr. Ti'ann Jones, uncovers a mystery that could alter the course of her planet's future, putting her and her people in grave danger. She's forced to call in security to protect her dig site. But the man who shows up threatens Ti'ann on a much more personal level. She's spent the last three years trying to forget Nathan Longfeather and the incredible things he did to her body, but it's apparent he's already forgotten her.

Nathan thought guarding an archaeological dig site would be an easy and welcome break from his normal high-tension contracts. But when he comes face-to-face with a woman he hasn't been able to forget for the last three years, he finds himself torn between the job and dragging Ti'ann back to his ship to remind her of those brief erotic nights they spent together. Nights she seems to have forgotten.

As the truth of Ti'ann’s discovery is revealed, Nathan's job gets a lot more serious, and keeping Ti'ann and her team alive becomes his top priority. In a time when anything to do with Narava's native species, the Shifters, leads to violence, Ti'ann and Nathan face enemies from both sides of the conflict and will have to find a way to prevent a planet-wide war. If they can survive, they might just have a future…together.

Be sure to check back for the exact release date. I'm also on Twitter (@IsaboKelly) all the time and will be celebrating this newest release there once summer rolls around.
