The Rogue's Prize!
Good morning, me hearties!
Found out some great news yesterday. The Rogue's Prize, Book Two of the Nelson's Tea Series, now has a May 6, 2013 release date. I'm so excited about Captain Henry Guffald's book. In an attempt to redeem himself, he meets a pirate he'll never forget.
Here's a blurb:
CAPTAIN HENRY GUFFALD is no ordinary captain. A member of Nelson’s Tea, he’s learned the hard way what treachery will achieve. As a result, he’s sworn an oath never to give in to his ambition. Daring, proud, Henry sets out to rescue a comrade captured in Spain. But when his ship is attacked by a female pirate roving the Cornish coast, waylaying his plans, Henry is forced to make her his prize if he’s going to save a good man’s life.
LADY ADELE SEATON has been raised in a family profited by a lucrative smuggling business. Though her parents wish otherwise, she would no sooner give up the call to rove than marry. But obtaining independence is a challenge when her brother faces a hangman’s noose. Planning to save him, she captures an English ship. But things go awry and she is dragged home in disgrace, forced to ally herself with the one man with the power to anchor more than her ship— her heart.
Have a wonderful Thursday!!
Blessings,
Katherine

Book Cover Reveal!
Hey gang, great things are happening. I just received ARC's of THE ROGUE'S PRIZE (digital version, of course) and got a peek at my book cover. Woot!!! May I just say that I'm in LOVE with it? I think you'll love it too.
DUKE BY DAY has Percy on the cover, posing as Thomas Sexton, his pirate disguise, with a blunderbuss pistol. I'd had it in my head that it would be great to have all 3 rogues in my Nelson's Tea Series on the covers, for continuity purposes. What I got was most unexpected, but truly divine!!! (You'll see what I mean as soon as the cover goes live, which I expect to be any day now.)
The art department at Crimson Romance has been extremely creative in helping bring my series to life. I'm fortunate to have had really great book covers, me hearties, and I know it!!! Book covers that differ from normal Regency romance covers, but reveal much of my characters. I hope that makes the books stand out in a good way.
So be on the lookout for the BIG reveal coming to a port near you. Keep your eyes on that horizon, mateys!!!
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

MY LADY ROGUE Is Up For Pre-Order Now!
Ahoy, me hearties! I've been out of touch for a bit but I'm back with great news! MY LADY ROGUE, A Nelson's Tea Novella #2 is up for pre-order. Yeeauuss!!!
Simon and Gillian's love story continues in this second novella about two people who love each other but are kept apart because of their dedication to a noble cause ~ saving England during Napoleon's reign.
Everything Simon and Gillian have done has led to this moment… Will it be too late?
This book is guaranteed to give one wild emotional ride. All of the Nelson's Tea characters are back in this little novella. The stakes have risen and no one is safe.
I'm off to finish writing Garrick Seaton's book. He's been through hell and back but he's finally on his way to a glorious HEA. What will he have to go through to get there? Buahahaha!!! I know a little Spanish señorita who's willing to take him on.
Happy Reading!
