    Lauren Fortgang and James Fouhey will be back as the voices of Vesper Quill and Kyrion Caldaren. I’ve gotten so many nice comments about their narration, and I know they will do an excellent job once again.

    Why the delay? There was a scheduling conflict, and the audiobook couldn’t be recorded in time to be simultaneously released with the ebook/print book. Writing/producing/releasing a book involves a lot of people, deadlines, and moving parts, and unfortunately, things like this happen from time to time.

    If you want to read Only Cold Depths on release day, Oct. 29, you will have to get the ebook or print book. Thanks for reading!

    ONLY COLD DEPTHS DESCRIPTION:

    ā€œThis is space opera at its finest.ā€ā€”Ilona Andrew, #1 New York Times bestselling author on Only Bad Options

    New York Times bestselling author Jennifer Estep continues her Galactic Bonds series with a new, action-packed adventure that blends science fiction, fantasy, and historical romance. This rollicking space opera features a mix of magic and technology, along with a soulmates story and ā€œPew! Pew! Pew!ā€ battle scenes. Perfect for fans of Star Wars, Dune, Bridgerton, and Pride and Prejudice.

    A WOMAN WHO CAN’T CONTROL HER POWER . . .
    Everyone knows the name Vesper Quill. I used to be a lowly lab rat working in a Regal-owned corporation, but thanks to my truebond with Kyrion Caldaren, I’m now one of the most wanted fugitives in the Archipelago Galaxy.

    Kyrion and I have spent the last few weeks avoiding bounty hunters, along with the Arrows, the elite Imperium warriors tasked with capturing us. Now we’ve journeyed to a distant planet that’s supposed to be a refuge for truebonded couples, but when new enemies appear, we’re once again in grave danger.

    As a seer, inventor, and engineer, I’m skilled at figuring out how things work, but I can’t quite understand my growing magic and newfound psionic abilities. The clock is ticking, and if I don’t figure out how to tap into my power, I’ll doom myself to a gruesome fate, along with Kyrion.

    A MAN WHO CAN’T LET GO OF HIS FEAR . . .
    As Kyrion Caldaren, I’m used to being respected and feared, especially given my telekinesis, telepathy, telempathy, and other powerful psionic abilities. What I’m not used to is being on the run, but as a rogue Arrow, I’ll do anything to protect Vesper.

    Just when I think we’ve finally reached a safe haven, trouble finds us again, reigniting all my fears about losing Vesper.

    When the cold depths of our enemies’ plan are finally revealed, the truth is more terrifying than anything I could imagine. Soon Vesper and I are fighting for our lives again, but even with our growing truebond power, this is one battle we might not survive.

    All about Kitty Boodle . . .

    MONDAY MORNING MAILBAG

    Kitty Boodle laying in the grass looking cuteQuestion: How old is Kitty Boodle?

    Answer: Kitty Boodle will be 9 years old in November.

    Kitty Boodle was a stray that wandered up to Little Debbie’s house one November day. Little Debbie (aka my mom) started feeding her, and the rest is history. Boodle was still more kitten than full-grown back then, so that’s why we think she will be 9 (or thereabouts) this year.

    Growing up, we always had dogs, so Boodle is the first cat we’ve ever had. She is a totally spoiled, demanding little diva princess who knows exactly how adorable she is. šŸ™‚

    Don’ let that sweet face fool you. Boodle is quite the little huntress. One day a few years ago, I went into Little Debbie’s house. Boodle was nowhere to be seen. I came back outside five minutes later, and Boodle was on the porch – along with the live snake (!) she had just caught. I screamed my head off.

    One of the smartest things I ever did was start putting a photo of Boodle in my monthly reading recommendation newsletter. I get more comments about Boodle than anything else, even my own books. LOL.

    Little Debbie keeps saying that Boodle needs ā€œroyaltiesā€ for appearing in my newsletter every month. So I pay her in cat treats and belly rubs.

    And that is the story of Kitty Boodle. She has brought so much joy and happiness into our lives, and I hope you all enjoy reading about her and seeing her photos.

    How are your fur babies doing this summer?
