New Covers to Share with You!!!

COVER REVEAL!!!

I just realized I have not revealed my two new covers here on my blog. Yep, that's right. I have TWO new covers!

My Regency romance, A Spy's Devotion, releases in just TWO MONTHS! I can hardly wait to share the story and characters with you. In the meantime, here is the absolutely gorgeous cover, which was created by my very first cover artist, Mike Heath of Magnus Creative, for my new publisher, Waterfall, an imprint of Amazon Publishing. 

And, without further ado, here is the beautiful cover depicting my heroine, Julia Grey, in the mysterious night time setting of a Regency country house garden with a luminous moon and Regency-era mansion in the background.

Preorder now for $5.99

In England’s Regency era, manners and elegance reign in public life—but behind closed doors, treason and tawdriness thrive. 

Nicholas Langdon is no stranger to reserved civility or bloody barbarity. After suffering a battlefield injury, the wealthy, well-connected British officer returns home to heal—and to fulfill a dying soldier’s last wish by delivering his coded diary.

At the home of the Wilherns, one of England’s most powerful families, Langdon attends a lavish ball where he meets their beautiful and intelligent ward, Julia Grey. Determined to maintain propriety, he keeps his distance—until the diary is stolen and all clues lead to Julia’s guardian. 

As Langdon traces an evil plot that could be the nation’s undoing, he grows ever more intrigued by the lovely young woman. And when Julia realizes that England—and the man she is falling in love with—need her help, she finds herself caught in the fray. Will the two succumb to their attraction while fighting to save their country?

Big Cover Reveal! The Golden Braid

It doesn't come out until November 17, but here is the beautiful new cover for my Rapunzel story. What do you think?

The Huntress of Thornbeck Forest is coming!

Pre-Order Sale!

A beautiful maiden who poaches to feed the poor. A handsome forester on a mission to catch her. Danger and love are about to unite in Thornbeck Forest.

The margrave owns the finest hunting grounds for miles around—and Odette Menkels spends her nights poaching his deer to feed the hungry orphans of Thornbeck. By day, Odette is a simple maiden who teaches children to read, but by night this young beauty has become the secret lifeline to the poorest of the poor.

For Jorgen Hartman, the margrave’s forester, tracking down a poacher is a duty he is all too willing to perform. Jorgen inherited his post from the man who raised him . . . a man who was murdered at the hands of a poacher.

When Jorgen and Odette meet at the Midsummer festival and share a connection during a dance, neither has any idea that they are already adversaries.

The one man she wants is bound by duty to capture her; the one woman he loves is his cunning target.

The Huntress of Thornbeck Forest e-book will be $4.99 until it releases on May 12th! So don't miss the pre-order sale!

This will be my first book available in Audio! 

Also my first book available in hardcover!

Praying all my faithful readers will love this Swan Lake-Robin Hood mash-up, the first book in a new series! But don't worry, the old Hagenheim series will continue for just a bit longer. The next Hagenheim story is The Golden Braid, a Rapunzel retelling, and I think you will be pleasantly surprised to find out who the heroine is. But don't try to guess; it's supposed to be a surprise. ;-)

And Another New Release!

Fairy-Tale-Romance-Collection

It's all Five of my Previously Published Fairy Tales, one complete e-book bundle, at one price.

My Fairy Tale Retellings are $1.99!

I wanted to use my (neglected) blog to let you know that my previously published books are $1.99 on Kindle right now and probably will also be $1.99 on Nook and other devices. It just sometimes takes a little while to change the prices.

But not only are my earlier books a special price, but the new book, The Captive Maiden, is only $5.19 for the Kindle, and only $5.99 for the paperback! That is a great pre-order promotion, and I'm not sure how much longer it will last.

The Captive Maiden

Thanks for letting me share these promotions with you! And a few reviews are trickling in already for The Captive Maiden, from reviewers who got early advance copies. Blooming with Books said:
"Based upon Cinderella The Captive Maiden will capture your imagination as it brings faith and fiction together in a believable heartfelt story.  You will want to re-read this story again and again (I know because I'm re-reading it again) and it will join the favorites on your shelf."
