To my TGNAFN girls! I thank god for you chicks every single day. You’re a bunch of kick ass women who I love working with!!
Jani Kay, thank you for all your words of encouragement and support while I was writing Slay. You’ve been so busy this year and yet you always had time for me. I treasure our friendship and also love working with you. You’re such an amazing woman, and I can’t wait for what 2015 will bring!
Chelle “Gandy” Bliss, I am so glad we became friends. Your friendship means a lot to me and I am so looking forward to meeting you in person. And I fucking love your sense of humour, woman! LMAO. Gandy Schmandy... you haven’t sent me a pic of our man for awhile now, babe. I’m having withdrawals ;)
River Savage, bitch, who would have thought this time last year when we met for the first time that this is where we would be now?? FARK. How life changes, dude! I love seeing your face pop up in messenger, and the “Dude”, “OMG”, “Fuck”...that you always send me. LOL! Oh yeah, and the “BAHAHAHA”. Seriously, you make my day some days. You always make me laugh. SO looking forward to 2015, babe!! Thanks for being an amazing friend xx
Lyra Parish & Lilliana Anderson, you two are such special ladies. They don’t make them like you very often anymore. We worked together recently on the Owned Anthology and I got to know you both a little better, and I have to say that I am so glad Jani and I asked you both to be part of that anthology because otherwise I may never have discovered just how special you are. Thank you for being my friend and for being so giving. Xx
To My Readers,
From the bottom of my heart, I want to thank you for buying and reading my books. You’ve changed my life in ways you’ll never know and I am so grateful to you for this. The last year has been the best year of my life. I’ve never worked harder but I’ve never loved my work as much. I love that you love my Storm men as much as I do. Thank you for all your amazing emails and messages. Some mornings, I wake up to the most amazing messages and I feel so blessed to be able to have this awesome job. To be finally living my dream.
Nina xx
I have a request. If you loved Blade as much as I love Blade, I would truly appreciate it if you would leave a review for Slay on the site where you bought it. Reviews help other readers decide whether to purchase a book, which in turn helps authors continue writing. It would mean a lot to me if you did leave a review. It doesn’t have to be a long and detailed review – I think the minimum they require is about 20 words. Thank you! xx
Slay Playlist
You may remember from Revive I mentioned how important music is to me when I am creating characters and stories. The songs below inspired Slay, but I have to admit to you that I listened to Taylor Swift’s new album 1989 pretty much 98% of the time while writing this book. Her music and lyrics actually inspire a lot of my work. Storm was written to a lot of the songs on her Red album.
Apart from Taylor’s music, the songs Dust to Dust by The Civil Wars & Superheroes by The Script really get me in the zone for Blade. Take a listen to the lyrics, you’ll see..
