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

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!

Katherine

If you've already read The Rogue's Prize, I guarantee a wilder ride than ever before. As you can see, EsKape Press has provided me with a FANtastic book cover! I'm especially proud of this one, I must say! (Pirate!)

Meanwhile, edits for MY LADY ROGUE are in and I'm hard at work getting the rest of Simon and Gillian's story to ye all. Look for this book sometime around March 2014. Mesmerizing drama! Will Simon and Gillian finally get their much coveted HEA?

In the meantime, the holidays are full of adventure, aren't they? I'm also humbled to be part of THE ROMANCING THE ROGUE Box Set. DUKE BY DAY, ROGUE BY NIGHT is one of 10 books in this fabulous deal, me hearties! #99cents Don't miss out on books by Rose Gordon, Christi Caldwell, Moriah Densley, Ruth J.

There's been lots of activity on me ship these days. I haven't gotten started putting up holiday decorations yet, but just spent a great November visiting with my children, the loves of my life!

Today, however, Captain Jack Sparrow is back to interview Bestselling Author Patricia Kiyono and her launch of CHRISTMAS JOURNEY #99cents. You can check out that post and Lady Patricia's book here: http://ow.ly/Fy2PQ

Leaves are changing color. There's a brisk wind coming out of the north. Thanksgiving is just weeks away. What a perfect time to curl up with a book, eh? So what about 10 books? (Pirate!)

This year has been such an eventful one. I've been silent here on Goodreads because my rogue had a very serious surgery three months ago. He's doing fine! Woot!!! And we're so glad to have that bit of worry out of the way.

Meanwhile, I've got the relaunch of THE ROGUE'S PRIZE coming up the end of November. Woot!!! And MY LADY ROGUE after that. Hopefully by the end of the year. And I'm busy writing two great stories for you now: the 3rd book in my Nelson's Tea Series, THE ROGUE'S SURRENDER, and a very secret novella project I just know you'll find exciting. Of course, it has to do with pirates. Buahahahaha!

So until next time, may your winds be fair and may your seas calm. And may you find lots of time to read this fabulous book bundle, ROMANCING THE ROGUE.

Romancing The Jewel is Out!

Ahoy, me hearties! I've got great news! My first contemporary, formerly titled LOST TREASURE, CAPTIVE PRINCESS, has been relaunched with my new publisher EsKape Press Publishing as ROMANCING THE JEWEL. The book has a FANtastic new cover and phenomenal new editing, thanks to Kim Bowman and For The Muse designs. Woot!

The book released September 23rd and is available now! Huzzah and Hoorah!

As a historical romance author, I wanted to try writing a contemprary romance. Wonder of all wonders? I loved it! They say write what you know. Well, I'd lived in Italy for 3 years as a newlywed while my rogue served as an Army commander in Vicenza. I thought, why not write about an Italian prince and the palaces I visited. Plus, I got to combine a few of my favorite things in the process: my favorite color ~ green, emeralds, Italy, and tall, dark, and royally handsome!

Out of all the places I've lived overseas, Italy has always held a special place in my heart. As newlyweds, my rogue and I attended Italian Language School for six months in Monterey, CA. After a grand initiation to Italian culture, we flew to Italy to begin our marriage. There, in the land of love and romance, our oldest two children were born. So it makes perfect sense that the lovely, cherished memories of being a 21 year old newlywed surrounded by lavish centuries old tradition are still very dear to my heart.

Italians are gracious and kind, willing to go out of their way to help. (Under The Tuscan Sun ring any bells?) Well, ROMANCING THE JEWEL is Under The Tuscan Sun meets The Runaway Bride. It's a clash of cultures, mixed with desire and passion to achieve goals of the heart.

What happens when two people search for two totally different things and ultimately discover they were meant to find each other?

This is the epic romantic fantasy, isn't it?

Well, I'm so excited I got to relaunch my first contemporary ROMANCING THE JEWEL. And if you're in the mood for an escape, curl up with Gian-Paolo and Carolina for an afternoon, eh?

I hope you'll enjoy my short vacation from The Nelson's Tea Series. Coming up in October, I'll be relaunching THE ROGUE'S PRIZE. I can't wait for you to share this book with you. It's got an HOT new cover too!

Until next time, I wish you fair winds!

Blessings,
Katherine

MY LORD ROGUE is out!

Ahoy, dear readers! I just got back from my first RT and oh! what a great time I had! Just before leaving for RT, the prequel novella for my Nelson's Tea Series, MY LORD ROGUE, debuted. The book chronicles the very beginnings of Nelson's Tea and how Lord Simon Danbury formed it with the help of a few friends and a forbidden love. Of course, Simon has a few demons of his own and Gillian Chauncey has a love that won't be denied. Woot!

As I recover from RT, here's an interesting story. When Duke by Day came out, a reader wanted to know who the next hero of my series would be. I told her Captain Guffald. She was quite surprised, which is exactly what I'd intended. But she posed something very curious. "When will Simon Danbury get his own book?" Truth be told, I hadn't thought much about Simon at the time, only that he was the very glue holding my clandestine group together. As ideas sprouted from her suggestion, MY LORD ROGUE, fleshed itself out and is now out there for my readers to enjoy. Huzzah! (Special thanks to Jayne Smith for making that happen!)

Even more interesting: When my editor read MY LORD ROGUE, she told me how much she adored Simon Danbury and said, "You must write him another novella." Of course, I was VERY happy to hear this too, because Simon and Gillian were rallying for their romance to ignite! I'm happy to say, I'm writing MY LADY ROGUE as I write this post. Woot! This novella proves to be much more steamy because Simon is now free to pursue his love for Gillian... or is he? (Wicked snicker!)

Some news: Sometimes authors and publishing houses separate because it's time to move on. This happened to me. All is good and I wish my previous publisher, and all the authors I've grown to love within that company, the greatest success. I just had a very different vision of how I wanted my historical pirates to journey into that horizon, me hearties. You've seen DUKE BY DAY, ROGUE BY NIGHT relaunch with EsKape Press Publishing. Prepare yourself for a new and improved THE ROGUE'S PRIZE set to relaunch in mid-July! With MY LADY ROGUE to follow sometime later this summer. The third installment of the series, THE ROGUE'S SURRENDER, is scheduled for an early 2015 release.

It's my hope to be able to reveal the new cover for THE ROGUE'S PRIZE by the end of June. So excited!!!

Can you believe 2014 is already almost half over? Where has the time gone?

Until next time, I do hope you'll give MY LORD ROGUE a try.

Blessings,
Katherine
