Hi, all! I hope you're enjoying the holiday season! I'm loving the lights and decorations. I wish we could get a little snow to go with them, but it looks like I'll have to settle for a cold front that will lower temps just enough to require a jacket. 😀

Hello, all!

Your favorite character, Sheldon, here. If you’re an Immortal Guardians fan, I think you’re really going to enjoy this companion. Dianne has packed it with ninety pages of deleted scenes that feature many of the characters you’ve come to know and love plus a bonus scene from Cliff’s Descent that you won’t want to miss.

You’ll also find every character interview Dianne has ever written inside these pages. (Those of you who’ve encountered a few in the past know the ones I conduct are the best.) If you’ve never read one or you missed a few, then pick up a copy, sit back, and laugh while I interview Immortal Guardians and the loves of their lives for the network. Even Chris Reordon and Todd down at network headquarters get in on the action. 

I also interview Dianne and ply her with questions I thought you’d like to ask her. Throw in a couple of short stories, what inspired the Immortal Guardians series, and a brief Who Does What Now? list, and you’re bound to enjoy it. 

See you on the inside!

Your friend,

Sheldon

Immortal Guardian Richart’s immensely competent Second

And the most beloved character in the Immortal Guardians series (at least in his mind)

I want to thank you again for making the release of Cliff's Descent so fantastic. I had to drop offline for a bit, so I'm late telling you that it hit the USA Today Bestseller list. Woohoo!! I also received a very nice email, informing me that Cliff's Descent was Barnes&Noble Press's #7 book the week it released. I've spent countless hours strolling up and down the aisles of Barnes&Noble brick and mortar stores, finding favorite books and new-to-me authors. So this was a real thrill for me.

Thank you, too, for the wonderful reviews. I'm so glad you're enjoying Cliff and Emma's story. (For the audiobook lovers out there who haven't given it a listen yet, Kirsten Potter did another stellar job narrating.)

Here are a few of the outstanding reviews that have been rolling in:

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

"Way to go!!!! This book was funny, sexy, smart and all around entertaining."

—Michelle Frederick

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

"Emma and cliff light up each other's worlds like a love most of us can only dream of."

—Daryll k

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

"Fantastic!... Job well done Dianne! Thank you for giving us his full story."

—Shannon Swihart

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

"For readers of this series, this book is a must read."

—Lorna

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

"What an emotional journey... This book is amazing."

—Stacy Ross

Thank you, everyone who has taken a moment to write a review! I grin big every time I read them.

The storm heading toward Louisiana looks pretty scary. I hope all of those in its path will stay safe!

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."

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.

____________________________

Thank you for making my first ten years as a published author so amazing. Medieval Romance, Time-Travel Romance, Paranormal Romance, and Sci-Fi Romance... I'm having so much fun!

Take care and happy reading!

The Segonian—Favorite Quote Friday

Hello, all! The weekend is upon us again. Yes! This week really seemed to fly past. I've been working on posts for my upcoming Segonian Blog Tour and am having a lot of fun with them. Many Immortal Guardians fans have asked if the tour will include character interviews. It will. I've written two thus far that are conducted by Sheldon... who is his usual incorrigible self. 😀 So I hope you'll enjoy them.

I also started designing some swag for The Segonian. Tote bags, pillows, postcards, and more. I can't wait to see them. 

Speaking of the tour, there's still time to sign up and join the fun if you're a Book Blogger, Bookstagrammer, or Facebook Influencer. There will be a tour-wide giveaway and—in addition to the character interviews I mentioned above—Author Q&As, excerpts, a playlist, a dream cast, Top 5 lists, and more. If you'd like to participate, you can learn more and sign up HERE.

It's time once more for Favorite Quote Friday! I absolutely loved your responses to last week's sneak peek! I can't wait for you to see Eliana and Dagon together, so today I'm going to give you another peek into the pages of The Segonian that features them:

_________________________________

Emotion threatened to swamp her. Eliana was so damn grateful to have Dagon in her life now, to have found him against such astounding odds. Reaching up, she curled a hand around the nape of his neck and drew him down to claim his lips in a hard kiss that conveyed gratitude, determination, and caring all at once.

 

Fire raced through her body as he wrapped his arms around her and drew her up onto her toes, locking her form to his.

 

She broke the kiss on a gasp. “So we’re in this together?”

 

“We’re in this together,” he confirmed, leaving no doubt of his commitment.

_________________________________

Thank you, everyone who has pre-ordered The Segonian! If this is your first time hearing about it and you'd like to read the excerpt that readers have really been talking about, you can find it on my website.

I hope you'll have a nice weekend! Take care and happy reading!

Favorite Quote Friday

Happy Friday! We've had the most wonderful rainy, thunder-boomy days this past week. Temperatures that were topping 100ºF dropped down into the seventies and stayed there for two or three days. It was wonderful. We opened all the windows, let the breeze in, enjoyed the rumbles and pitter patter of everything from drizzles to downpours . . . And you know my favorite days to write have always been the rainy ones. So I spent many hours with Eliana, Dagon, and the Segonians. 😊

I also got to do some interesting research while working on The Segonian. It reminded me a bit of the research I did on the water bear before I sat down to begin my Immortal Guardians series. 😉 

— • — • — • — • — • — • — • — • — • —

I haven't been online as much recently. But whenever I am, I love to head over to Facebook and see what's happening in my Books Group. We've been welcoming a lot of new members since The Lasaran released and are now over 2,000 members strong! Woohoo!! We like to keep things fun and positive in there, so it's a great place to hang out and destress. We laugh a lot. So if you'd like to join us, I'll see you there!

— • — • — • — • — • — • — • — • — • —

The Lasaran, Aldebarian Alliance Book 1, was featured on SFR Station this week. I've really been enjoying sci-fi romance lately . . . and not just because I have a weird quirk as a writer that compels me to read books in whatever subgenre I'm currently writing to keep me in that mindset. 😊 If you're looking for some new or new-to-you sci-fi romance reads, you might want to head on over. I've found some good ones there.

 — • — • — • — • — • — • — • — • — • —

Fantastic reviews continue to roll in for The Lasaran, and every one of them makes me smile. 😊 I am really enjoying this series, so it always thrills me to see someone else is, too. Here are some snippets from some of the latest:

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

"You will never read another book like this!!!! It has a unique storyline and characters that will make you laugh out loud. This book made me read the other books the author has written. Absolutely amazing!"

—Katie Bates

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

"Holy cow!!! So much happens in this book it felt like two books! It was the absolute perfect set up for a new series! The end of the audiobook has a clip from the next book in the series and after listening to it my mind is salivating for the next book!!! I can NOT wait for it to come out!! This series just may be better than the immortal guardians series and that's saying a lot since I'm OBSESSED with that world!!"

—Jennifer S

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

"Another winner from one of my favorite authors... sizzling from the get go, everything you need in a great series... I was instantly drawn to all the new characters, as if I had known them all along... absolutely fabulous."

—Molly

Broken Dawn is getting great reviews as well. I'm so glad IG fans and new readers are enjoying Nick and Kayla's story. I love those two together. 😉 Here are some snippets:

⭐︎⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

"Dianne Duvall has another winner on her hands here . . .Plenty of humor, drama, and romance, and with characters you just want to be real!"

—Langstonhome

⭐︎⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

"What a great addition to the Immortal Guardians series. Love Nick and Kayla's story. This book is fun to read, there's action, romance, excitement, and humor... I can't wait for Eliana's story."

—luvreading

⭐︎⭐️⭐️⭐️

"I really enjoyed getting into a new area and new characters. I especially loved how Duvall tied in the characters we love to characters we are just getting to know. I was completely thrilled to discover Nick's sometimes partner and friend will be a featured character in the new Adebarian Alliance series and we get to know her quite a bit more before she gets her story told. As always, Duvall writes riveting and heartwarming stories that keep you coming back for more! Every book is an adventure with characters that become friends you can't wait to catch up on."

It's time once more for Favorite Quote Friday! Since I've been immersed in space adventure, humor, and romance all week, I thought I would share another fun excerpt of The Lasaran that features Taelon and Lisa (the hero and heroine) when they meet face-to-face for the first time while escaping the research facility that holds them:

_________________

Taelon scooted to the edge of the table, then slid off onto his feet.

His knees buckled.

Lisa lunged forward and wrapped her arms around him. He was a lot taller than she was. And heavier with muscle. For a minute she thought they would both end up toppling to the floor. She was still weak from her coma, and he felt like he weighed a ton. But she braced her feet, locked her knees, and managed to keep him upright.

He gripped the table with one hand and wrapped the other arm around her. I’m sorry.

“It’s okay,” she told him. “We can do this.”

He nodded.

Shifting to his side, Lisa kept one arm around him as he found his balance. She hadn’t realized until then that the hazmat suit had fallen to the floor. Well, sh**. How was she going to get a naked alien out of the building without getting caught? He was bound to attract attention.

I hope you and your loved ones are staying safe and well. 

Have a wonderful weekend!
