FLASH SALE: Two Difficult Dukes books for a Kindle One Day Gold box on 21-22 July. $0.99 for A Duke in Shining Armor and $1.99 for Ten Things I Hate About the Duke.

Those are my most recent books. How about a deal on an early work?

The Lion’s Daughter, the eBook of my first full-length historical romance* is on sale from 19-26 July for $0.99. For less than a dollar you can make a rare visit to Albania in the time of Lord Byron, the Prince Regent, and other historical figures you’ve come to know through my and other writers’ early 19th century-set romances. However, as far as I know, this is the only historical romance set in Albania.** It features a character who appears in other books of the Scoundrels series, including the series’ centerpiece, Lord of Scoundrels. Why Albania? That’s where my family comes from, it’s not very well known, and I’ve been there. I believe this falls into the category of Write What You Know.

Meanwhile, in Albania…

Meanwhile, in Albania…

*My first six books were traditional Regency romances: shorter books, with a sweet take on the smoochies—in other words, no explicit sex, but kisses and cuddles do happen, and definite sexual tension. The full-length historical romances are about twice as long, and the bedroom door is not closed.

**One of the traditional Regencies, The English Witch, is also set partly in Albania.

My traditional Regencies enter the 21st century

A little while ago I reported that my out of print books are now available as eBooks.

Readers often ask about the order in which they ought to be read.   As far as I'm concerned, you can read them in any order, because I try to make each book stand alone.  Still, some books are connected.  The first four Regencies came in pairs, as a secondary character from one book got his own story in the next.  The last two are not connected. 

Next time, I'll report on the first two historical romances.

At last! Out of print books return as eBooks

We've done it at last! All of my out-of-print full-length books are now available in Kindle and Nook—and are or will soon be released in other digital formats. The collection includes my very first full-length historical romance (as opposed to traditional Regency), The Lion's Daughter, which Barnes & Noble is featuring as a Nook First from 16 November to 14 December.

RT has provided some fun summaries of these older books on their daily blog. For those of you who like to read books in order:

The first two historical romances (part of the Débauchés series aka in English as The Scoundrels):

May yours be a wonderful holiday season, filled with good things—and many good books!
