Well, Richelle is BACK with two books in the next few months:
Soundless
Soundless is a standalone novel out November 10th. Pre-order it here
Artist-in-training Fei has never left her village. No one ever has. Isolated on top of an inaccessible mountain, her people use a zipline to trade the precious metals in their mines for food from the city below. But that’s not the only hardship her village faces: for generations, no one has been able to hear, forcing them to live in a world based on sign language and written communication. Now, a mysterious ailment is striking villagers blind, leaving them in both darkness and silence–and Fei’s sister may be the next victim.
When Fei suddenly wakes one day with her hearing restored, she learns she has the ability to save her village and unlock the secret of their mysterious history. But first, Fei must find a way to descend the treacherous mountain–a task complicated by both her new ability to hear and the company of an old love interest…
And when you pre-order from select participating stores (full information here: http://bit.ly/1j17hxN), you will not only have your copy of SOUNDLESS signed and with an exclusive deluxe cover, but you will also receive a sampler of THE GLITTERING COURT with the first 11 chapters!

The Glittering Court
We are most excited about this next book announcement about The Glittering Court, a new series launching April 12th. The publisher is calling the fantasy series “a mix of Elizabethan and frontier worlds,” featuring three girls on a “search of empowerment and love.”
I hear Elizabethan and I’m in. Knowing the men Richelle comes up with, I’m going to LOVE this series
Big and sweeping, spanning the refined palaces of Osfrid to the gold dust and untamed forests of Adoria, The Glittering Court tells the story of Adelaide, an Osfridian countess who poses as her servant to escape an arranged marriage and start a new life in Adoria, the New World. But to do that, she must join the Glittering Court.
Both a school and a business venture, the Glittering Court is designed to transform impoverished girls into upper-class ladies capable of arranging powerful and wealthy marriages in the New World. Adelaide naturally excels in her training and even makes a few friends: the fiery former laundress Tamsin and the beautiful Sirminican refugee Mira. She manages to keep her true identity hidden from all but one: the intriguing Cedric Thorn, son of the wealthy proprietor of the Glittering Court.
When Adelaide discovers that Cedric is hiding a dangerous secret of his own, together, they hatch a scheme to make the best of Adelaide’s deception. Complications soon arise—first, as they cross the treacherous seas from Osfrid to Adoria, and later, when Adelaide catches the attention of a powerful governor.
But no complication will prove quite as daunting as the potent attraction simmering between Adelaide and Cedric. An attraction that, if acted on, would scandalize the Glittering Court and make them both outcasts in wild, vastly uncharted lands. . . .
I’m excited about this new stuff from Richelle ! Check out an interview we did with her awhile back while you’re at it!
