I love creating unique characters, love giving them happy endings and I even love the voices in my head. There's no other job I would rather be doing. In September 2002, when I got the call that Silhouette Desire wanted to buy my first book, Desert Warrior, it was a dream come true. I hope to continue living the dream until I keel over of old age on my keyboard.
I was born in Fiji and raised in New Zealand. I also spent three years living and working in Japan, during which time I took the chance to travel around Asia. I’m back in New Zealand now, but I’m always plotting new trips. If you’d like to see some of my travel snapshots, have a look at the Travel Diary page (updated every month).
So far, I've worked as a lawyer, a librarian, a candy factory general hand, a bank temp and an English teacher and not necessarily in that order. Some might call that inconsistency but I call it grist for the writer's mill.

A nice little snippet in to Nathan and Tamsyn's life 14 years after their mating.
The kids in this series are so cute.
I am so invested in this series I will read anything and now that I've found the page containing a fair few of Singh's short reads well rubbing my hands in glee.

Sweet. A snippet into Nathan and Tamsyn before the cubs and the series begins.

.
I'm a little disappointed that it takes Nathan 14 years before he's ready for them to have kids/cubs.
I feel bad for Tamsyn (despite the author writing about how deep their lurve is) that she is hampered with such a stubborn mate.

Pure baby fluff and I'm sure it would've been really sweet if I had any real investment in the characters.

Seedlings is a follow up to Nathan and Tamsyn's story Beat of Temptation a novella in Wild Invitation antho.
Tamsyn always wanted a cub of her own, but is content to look after the young of their pack knowing Nathan would struggle with more than a mating. Then one day, he shows he is healed of his dark fearful thoughts and ready to share a family with her.
But instead of one cub... Jules and Rome come along.
Such a sweet early story from the Dark River Changelings.

. cute little fast read. I honestly don't get the short stories, this could just be included as a cute little chapter at the end or at the beginning of one of the books that have the characters in them?
For what it its, it was nice enough.
BUT you have to have read some of the other books before reading this one as your first one or nothing will make sense.

A short story about Tamsyn and Nathan's married life and how they got to have their twins. The small detail of how in changelling mated couples, the male is first made aware of when the female is pregnant is a sampler of the author's effort in world building.

Lovely short story about Tamsyn & Nathan and their path to becoming parents. Sigh...

Sweet short story!

A nice little novella about Tamsyn and Nathan deciding to make a baby.

Cute little vignette with Tam & Nate (and the cubs!)

Cute short story from the second Newsletter Exclusives Collection, about Tamsyn, one of the important minor characters in the Psy-Changeling series.

Predecible.

A very cute short story, worth reading if you like the rest of the series

This was super cute and kind of put me in the mood to re-read this series.

A short story, 0.6 in the Psy-Changeling paranormal romance series, that revolves around the emotionless Psy, two strong Changeling packs: DarkRiver leopards and the SnowDancer wolves, and, the humans who are tired of being pushed around.
If you're interested, there is a of the Psy-Changeling books on my website.
My Take
This peek-in at Nathan and Tamsyn is so sweet and the fear of parents-to-be around the world, that of having children.
Singh uses third person protagonist point-of-view from Tamsyn's perspective as she recounts Nathan's issues from the past and the inciting incident is that cute Ry's feeding attempt in the garden, lol. So typical of a kid, lol.
The Story
Tamsyn has been patient, waiting for Nate's fears to ease. Luckily, Tammy has all the cubs in the pack to mother and love.
The Characters
The protective Nathan Ryder is a senior sentinel with DarkRiver, and he's been mated to Tamsyn, the pack healer, for fourteen years (, 0.5; also in Wild Invitation). The twins, Julian and Roman, are the cubs to come.
Bryan, a.k.a. Ry, has a thing for worms. Zach is his uncle. Shayla had been Lucas' mom. Lucas is now the alpha of DarkRiver.
The Title
The title refers to all "Seedlings", the metaphor referring to the garden...as well as children.

Nate es 10 años mayor que tammy y ellos saben que son compañeros desde que ella cumple 15 años, pero como el está jodido por su pasado donde su padre era mayor y emparejarse con su madre menor que el los destruyó como en todos los libros de esta señora el es un cabezotas y no quiere aceptar plenamente el vínculo y eso lástima a la pobre tammy. Al parecer es una de las fórmulas ganadoras de la escritora alguien no quiere ceder, enamorarse, entregarse, doblegarse etc etc o son enemigos a amantes, me gusta mucho pero puede ser repetitivo y cansado y quiero saber que pasa con la guerra psi, la caída del silencio
lloré tanto con este libro, como pueden ser los hombres tan tercos pff.

After reading Tammy and Nate's novella, Beat of Temptation and seeing them in Slave to Sensation with the cubs, I wanted to see Nate when he found out Tammy was pregnant. I was not disappointed! I even got a scene after the birth of the twins too! I loved this little scenes with them, they have been the staple couple before even Sascha and Lucas. It was also cute as hell to see the bond between Julian and Roman started from birth. Those two are sooooo gonna be heart breakers when they are older.

La verdad voy a reseñar la historia corta "La ducha" también.
Primero, saber cómo la pasión de Nate y Tammy sigue tan sólida como cuando se emparejaron es súper lindo. Además de que el clan DarkRiver es fuerte y sólido. Ellos tienen una familia maravillosa con sus gemelos.
Ahora, La ducha, una historia corta de Lucas y Sascha. Un momento cotidiano de ellos emparejados y amándose. Divertida y rápida de leer.

This is a sweet little piece that takes us back to the beginning of the Psy-Changeling series with Tamsyn and Nathan, showing how they grew not just from coming together as a couple, but to when they were both ready to expand their little family and ultimately had the twins. It's a quick read released for free via the author's newsletter, but it's still enjoyable and will bring out a smile.

I really enjoyed this short story between Tamsyn and Nate. Fourteen years after their mating bond, they decide to have their own cubs. :)
(I still need to read Beat of Temptation to find out how these two met.)

This short story about Nate and Tammy and the birth of the twins was cute, but to me it was a bit lacking...
December 31, 2022
Sweet little story about Tamsyn and Nathan finally deciding to finally have cubs. Of course knowing the series means knowing just who those two little terrors are. They're an adorable handful in later books. But this was just so cute as Tamsyn's healers heart finally gets her wish.

This is what a I called a quickie! LOL I enjoyed when an author just can't let go completely of her characters. Is fun to see that they live in her head and she can have fun playing with little bits and pieces of their love story in these short stories.
Lovely!
Lovely!
