Anniversary & Favorite Quote Friday

Happy Friday! I realized today that this week marked the tenth anniversary of the release of my first book, Darkness Dawns: Immortal Guardians Book 1. 

There are now 10 novels and 2 novellas in my Immortal Guardians series, 2 novels in The Gifted Ones series, and I just released the 2nd book in my exciting new Aldebarian Alliance series. And every story is available in audio format as well. What a wonderful ride it's been. I can't wait to see where the next ten years will take me. :-)

I have been absolutely blown away by your responses to The Segonian. This is the first time one of my books has received over 700 ratings in just the first two weeks of its release. That is amazing!! Thank you so much!

Totally Addicted to Reading gave The Segonian a fantastic review.

Here's another quote from it:

"Spending time with Eliana proved a delightful experience... She was courageous, resourceful, strong, honest, outspoken and knows how to roll with the punches. Several times throughout the story she had me laughing out loud. I enjoyed her interactions with Dagon and his crew members."

Flora's Musings gave it a wonderful review, too. 

Here's another quote from it:

"A Stellar Adventure In This Sci-fi Romance Series. 
I’m already a big fan of Dianne Duvall’s books but sci-fi is not my usual reading genre. However, I love Dianne’s writing style, the language she uses and the way she paces her plots.
I was drawn into this story and remained hooked throughout."

I am definitely eager for the next installment of the Aldebarian Alliance... No matter print or audio, The Segonian by Dianne Duvall is an excellent sci-fi fantasy romance."

It's time once more for Favorite Quote Friday! Today I thought I would share a moment of levity in an action-packed scene from The Segonian:

____________________________

She raced for the closed door that led to the rest of the ship, trusting Dagon and the guys to take out whoever was left.

 

“Grenade, Eliana,” Dagon warned, his voice coming over the comm seconds before an e-grenade sailed past her shoulder.

 

It detonated as it hit the door.

 

Flames and sparks and hot air rushed toward her, but didn’t slow her at all as the grenade he’d lobbed blasted a substantial hole in the door.

 

“Thanks, babe,” she called as she dove through it.

 

A throat cleared. “Did she just call our commander babe?”

 

“Shut up,” Dagon retorted.

 

She laughed. “Would you like me to call him sugarboo instead?”

“Srul, yes,” Maarev responded as snickers carried over the comm.

Take care and happy reading!
