About the Author
Writing has always been my passion, and my stories have always had a touch of romance to them, even if they were about a superhero with laser eyes. Creating unique characters and giving them happy endings is what I love to do, and I even enjoy the voices in my head.
There’s no other job that could make me happier.
In 2002, I received the call that Silhouette Desire wanted to publish my first book, Desert Warrior, and it was a dream come true. I hope to continue living this dream until I’m old and gray, typing away on my keyboard.
I was born in Fiji and raised in New Zealand, where I’ve returned after spending three years living and working in Japan. During my time in Japan, I took advantage of every opportunity to travel around Asia, and I’m always planning my next adventure.

Throughout my life, I’ve worked a variety of jobs, including lawyer, librarian, candy factory worker, bank temp, and English teacher. Some might call it inconsistency, but I see it as fuel for my writing.

Singh draws parallels between her fictional world and what is happening in reality, which makes the book all the more enjoyable. Singh doesn’t shy away from addressing tough questions, and she handles them with a deft hand, leaving readers pondering long after they have finished the book.
Overall, Weapons Training is another fantastic addition to Nalini Singh’s already impressive catalog, and it shows her versatility as a writer. The book is a must-read for fans of action-packed thrillers and anyone looking for a book with an underlying message that challenges the status quo.
