Down Time

I've been enjoying some down time since turning in the second book in my Nelson's Tea Series, The Rogue's Prize. What is your favorite thing to do when you want to relax?

Reading is my favorite pastime, other than knitting, quilting, and gardening. I used to can my own jam, spaghetti sauce, applesauce and tomato sauce, as well as peppers, pickle relish and salsa, but those days are gone. While I miss the yumminess of homemade goodies, so many other wonderful things have taken their place... like writing books, my ultimate passion. There's only so much time in a day, right?

And so, it goes without saying that during my own down time, I'm picking up my latest passion in another author's book. Lately, I've been rereading the wonderful books that have inspired me through the years. Authors like Shana Galen's Comte De Valere series, THE MAKING OF A DUCHESS, THE MAKING OF A GENTLEMAN and THE ROGUE PIRATE'S BRIDE. Wonderful characters fill these exciting action adventure romances. The amazing thing is, you know great books when you can't put them down after reading them for the 2nd time!!! Brava, Ms. Galen!

I've neglected to read as much as I should lately. My muse is hungry for sustenance, me hearties. So I'm pulling out all the stops, buying books for my Kindle, pulling out my favorite books from my shelf, digging into my TBR pile, and having the best time of my life.

Another fabulous thing I'm doing in the interim between Book 2 and Book 3 in the Nelson's Tea Series... I'm working on another project completely different from what I've published to date. It's an exciting story. The story of my heart.

So if you haven't picked up Shana Galen's books, I urge you to do so. You won't be disappointed, me hearties. But if you've also got favorites you've stored in your book shelf, grab one of those too. Nothing is more wonderful to the soul then returning to characters you've loved and still continue to be an influence.

Wishing you joy!
Blessings,

Katherine

MY LADY ROGUE Release Day!

Shout out from top the mizzen!

Twenty cannon salute off the port bow!

It's Release Day for My Lady Rogue, A Nelson's Tea Novella #2!!! And oh, what a joyous day it is, me hearties!

I adore book birthdays, don't you? Just like any other celebration, these are days when all the blood, sweat, and tears experienced to bring a book to fruition pays off. Now... to sit back and enjoy the spoils, eh?

Simon and Gillian couldn't have their HEA in My Lord Rogue, A Nelson's Tea Novella #1 because Simon was married and Gillian had been recently widowed. Four years later in My Lady Rogue, their relationship takes a dramatic turn. How cruel the hands of fate! Just when they believe they can finally be together, they receive the most heart-rending news. Now, facing the collapse of everything they have worked hard for, someone within Nelson's Tea sets out to undermine Simon's leadership. Can this mole be stopped? Will Simon declare his love in time? Or will it be too late?

I'm off to partay with rum in hand. And there's Garrick's book to write. Oh, but he's in for a surprise!

Blessings,
Katherine
