⏰️TOMORROW! 🚀 Launch event for BURIED DEEP in New York at The Strand Bookstore with brilliant bestselling author Cassandra Khaw🔥 Join us to celebrate! 🍾 Still need to sign up? lnk.bio/naominovik Can't wait to see you there! 🥰

Thanks so much to all the readers who’ve been following & sharing the BURIED DEEP 13 day countdown! 🌊•🍄•🐉•🔱•❄️•🔎•⚱️•🧚‍♀️•🫖•🚀•🐲•🏰•⚓Did you find a favorite you’ve been looking forward to? Can't read til you're home? Here's a nice batch of the snippets from our 13 story preview to nibble on while you wait.

BURIED DEEP comes out today!! 💃🕺🎉Can't start reading right away? Here’s a last snippet to tide yourself over, and get a first peek at FOLLY, my next major project, in Story Nº 13: set sail with a weathered sea captain, her fanciful brother, & an annoying wizard with Beautiful Cheekbones

And today, BURIED DEEP is OUT 🌠💥✨💃🎇🕺🎉 Here’s the final preview in the countdown: Story Nº 13 — the first glimpse at FOLLY, my next major project 🧭⚓🐐🌴🗿🌊🐟 A long voyage across uncharted waters, a flighty younger brother + an annoying wizard with Beautiful Cheekbones.

ONE DAY MORE! Here’s our penultimate preview – Story Nº 12, a tale of playing unwanted tabletop games with uninvited guests. BURIED DEEP comes out tomorrow, and we’re nearing the end of the countdown. Have you been enjoying the daily short story snippets? 🌊• 🍄•🐉•🔱•❄️•🔎•⚱️•🧚‍♀️•🫖•🚀•🐲•🏰•⚓

Did you ever think the flying dragon battles of the Napoleonic wars sometimes needed a side of ballroom gossip or angst-filled declarations? Me too. When BURIED DEEP arrives in two days, go directly to: Story Nº 11 - a Pride & Prejudice retelling set in the world of Temeraire.

If you ever thought you needed a Temeraire / Pride&Prejudice crossover, you're in luck, because Story Nº 11 of BURIED DEEP has dragons, ballrooms, and of course - entailments.

Very demure. Very mindful. See how a Captain of the Aerial Corps with her flying dragon can defend England *and* avoid scandalizing suitors in a Regency ballroom? Story Nº 11 is a Pride & Prejudice retelling in the world of Temeraire 🐲🥿🎖💌💘 Just two more days until BURIED DEEP comes out!

⏰️ICYMI - the US launch event for BURIED DEEP will be in NYC at The Strand with Cassandra Khaw ✨️ 💕so excited to see you all soon!

BURIED DEEP delves into a vast variety of worlds…including intergalactic space travel 🚀🪐🌌 In Story Nº 10, an exploratory mission reveals how age-old maladies persist despite a new strange frontier. 3 more days till BURIED DEEP is out on Sept 17! You can still preorder yours at: lnk.bio/naominovik

"A cup of tea solves everything." Whether or not this is true, isn't it still nice to try? Story Nº 9 tells of an unlikely wartime friendship formed in the trenches, and an improbable battlefield teatime 🪖⛺ ☕🫖☕ Four days left before BURIED DEEP arrives! To preorder, visit: lnk.bio/naominovik

Story Nº 8 of BURIED DEEP is a tale of mixing too many fairy godmothers with too many drinks - and casting magic under the influence. 🧚🏾🍷🧚🏼‍♀️🥂🧚🍸🧚🏾‍♀️🍹🧚🏾‍♂️🍾🧚🏼

Story Nº 7 might contain a lesson either to beware the true price exacted in a magical bargain, or to respect the importance of properly using PPE in the workplace. (And if you have to pick just one, it’s PPE) ⚱️🪨🔥⚒️ Grumpy/sunshine + a rogue sculptor on an unusual deadline. BURIED DEEP out on 9/17

🔔Fantastic news—I’m teaming up with bestselling author Cassandra Khaw🔥at Strand Books in NYC to celebrate the arrival of BURIED DEEP! 🌟🎉🍾 Join us for a long fun chat & let’s meet at the signing to follow 🥰 For event details: lnk.bio/naominovik Can’t wait to see you there!

Take one world-renowned British detective, add a notorious femme fatale (who’s also his most elusive antagonist), and an adventure is afoot in Story Nº 6. 🔎🗼🍷💄💌🎻 Continuing the daily countdown thru all 13 stories until BURIED DEEP arrives - one more week! Preorder yours: lnk.bio/naominovik

Story Nº 5 was a 🌱tiny seedling that spawned a whole other book, but did actually grow into a very different creature here in BURIED DEEP. ❄️🧝‍♂️💰🌬️🧶👑💍 However—the standard cautionary caveats still apply: fae bargains, unpaid debts, twilight visits from stern elven lords. Be careful out there.

Who wants to return to the world of TEMERAIRE? Story Nº 3 reveals the Roman Empire origins of the Aerial Corps in an accidental dragon hatchling bonding by Marc Anthony. Has inconvenient poetry recitals, debt collection, wanton spending + a gushing goiter 🐲🥚📜🛡️⚔️🍾 Preorders open: lnk.bio/naominovik

⏳In Story Nº 2 of our 13 day countdown, we return to a school of dark magic some of you may already know. 👁️🗝️🎓 There’s the usual problems of magical homework & maleficaria, but now add an absolutely insufferable roommate. Dorm room gardening + midnight hijinks ensue. 🍄🪄🧿🌺

Are you at SDCC right now? Would love your help suggesting a booth vendor! 👀 I'm looking for any booths selling small blank notebooks with beautiful covers, like smaller than letter size. If you see or know of a great vendor here, comment with their name - and if possible, location. Thanks so much!

I have finally made it on to the HMS Surprise! 😍 This commercially functional replica of a Royal Navy tallship was used in Master & Commander, the film adaptation of Patrick O'Brien's Aubrey/Maturin series - one of the sparks behind Temeraire.🐉 Now restored and at the San Diego Maritime Museum ⚓
