Taking It Easy
Wow! I've been away a good while, haven't I, me hearties? I have a good excuse, I assure you. You see, I had neck surgery three weeks ago and am still recovering. This was my second neck surgery in four years. The doctors had to go in and repair prior surgery issues in the front of my neck and then go in from the back to place two rods in my neck. I'm told I'm the Bionic Pirate now. Arrrrr!
While I've been recovering, I've been reading books I'll load in my "read" file as soon as I can. My time on the computer is very limited as of yet, however. (15-30 minute shifts.) I'm really looking forward to spending half a day on the computer, instead of thirty minutes. And most of all, I'm looking forward to getting back to work on Book Three in my Nelson's Tea Series, The Rogue's Surrender!
So for now, I'll say a hearty farewell. Look forward to chatting again with you soon!
Blessings,
Katherine

6 Weeks of Becalmed Weather!
Ahoy, mateys! It's been two long weeks since my last post, but my sails have been becalmed as I chart recovery waters. Aye, don't be downcast. I've got lots of things planned for ye all and I do hope you'll get a boon out of me news!
First, on September 26th, I'll be doing my first Goodreads Giveaway of autographed paperback copies of Lost Treasure, Captive Princess! The contest will end on October 29th, the first anniversary of the release of Duke by Day, Rogue by Night, my very first published romance. Isn't that a great way to start off the celebrations?
Plans aren't finalized yet, but I hope to have a little shabang for Duke's first anniversary too. Of course, this is something I can work on while becalmed. Right?
Second, there are some great things brewing. Funny how you can take becalmed winds and find productive things to do. I might not be able to spend more than 30 minutes at my computer yet, but ye ol' crow's nest is working again. Woot! And at high speed too!!!
So keep your eyes on that horizon, my friends. There's a BIG wind brewing on September 27th, if my stars align, with more giveaways galore on Paperbacks & Papercuts, where I'll be guest blogging.

Third, I hope you'll be as thrilled as I am. I'm writing a novella for the Nelson's Tea series! This will be a prequel. It's 1801 and Admiral Nelson has just been tasked with protecting The Channel. He knows more than anyone how ruthless Napoleon can be. A brilliant tactician, Nelson asks Simon Danbury, noted pirate hunter, to form a special force and train them in the ruses de guerre, concept of deception. An extremely private man and consumate bachelor, Simon enlists the help of a widow from his past ~ Baroness Chauncey. But the timid young woman he remembers appears like a lioness, thoroughly prepared to protect her cubs, as well as re-ignite passions he's spent five years trying to forget.
This is going to be one powerful and adventureous novella, me hearties! Steering for an early spring debut.
Aye, Katherine's been busy, eh? Keep your eyes on that horizon!

Katherine

6 Days Left in my Goodreads Giveaway!
Ahoy, me hearties! Or better yet, "Ciao!"
Here's a shout out/signal flag to them what reads this blog post. There are 6 days left in my Lost Treasure, Captive Princess Goodreads Giveaway Contest. That's 5 books in as many countries, lads and lasses. Will you be the one to win a copy of Prince Gian-Paolo's and Carolina's book?
In the meantime, I apologize for being quiet as the grave lately, me lovelies. I'm in week 11 of recovery mode. Improvements are being made every day. In fact, I started my first rehab session today. While I'm not looking forward to pushing my neck's limitations, I'm eager to get my health back. A strong neck will make Kathy a much faster writer. Woot!
As I type away at this little note, I hope you are all sailing toward that adventurous horizon with a magical compass pointing to what you want most. And what would that be? Bingo! A copy of Lost Treasure, Captive Princess in my Goodreads Giveaway Contest. Woot!
Blessings,
Katherine
