Update Regarding My DSP Books and a Paperback Sale

10/4/2019

0 Comments

 
Picture

Last month, I wrote about requesting my rights to the first four Chronicles of Tournai books back from Dreamspinner (you can find the blog post here). It was a difficult decision, but I believe it was the right one for me. As of October 1st, I have the rights back to The Prince's Consort, The Artist's Masquerade, The Scholar's Heart, and The Sorcerer's Guardian. They are no longer being sold on DSP's website and are coming down from other retailers' sites as well. All four books will be rereleased, but I don't have a timetable for you yet. As soon as I know, I'll let you know.

But I do have a bunch of each of the books in paperback, and I'm going to sell them for $7 per book plus shipping. Within the US, shipping is probably a few dollars a book; internationally, it will be more, though I don't know exactly how much. I'll probably have to invoice you after I've mailed the books so I can include the exact shipping cost. If you'd like to add paperbacks with the original cover art to your shelf (at a steep discount), this is your chance. (When the books are released, they'll have new covers. I wasn't able to get the rights to the original covers, and while I'm sad I won't have Anne Cain's lovely art on the covers any longer, I'm excited too to have covers that will match those of the newer books in the series.) If you'd like the books signed and personalized, I'm happy to do that, and I'll throw in some bookmarks and other goodies with them too. To order, fill out the form here, and I'll get the books shipped out to you as soon as possible. Obviously, I can't get any more copies, so once these are gone, that's it. Don't miss out if you want them!

I hope everyone who celebrated had a lovely Christmas. My holiday was a lot of fun, if a bit exhausting, and I'm looking forward to making this last week of 2015 (how did that happen???) a productive one for writing. But first, we have a winner! Shirley Ann Speakman won a copy of The Prince's Consort in the blog tour giveaway. Congratulations, Shirley!

And after a bit of holiday craziness, I have a post up at Shae Connor's blog about inspiration for The Artist's Masquerade and the Chronicles of Tournai series.

Finally, don't forget the big Dreamspinner Press sale! Today is the last day to buy my books and a lot of others 25% off and treat yourself to a holiday gift.

Last Day of The Artist's Masquerade Tour

12/23/2015

0 Comments

 
So we've come to the end of The Artist's Masquerade blog tour, but there are two more stops before it's actually over. Today you can find me posting at Lex Chase's blog and at House Millar. I hope you've enjoyed finding out more about The Artist's Masquerade and that you've entered the giveaway for a paperback of The Prince's Consort. Thanks for joining me on the tour!

Happy Holidays, everyone!

As the first-born son of the Duke of Tournai and cousin to the prince, Cathal has always tried to fulfill his duty to family and country, including following through with an arranged marriage to Velia, cousin to the emperor of Ardunn. But it’s Velia’s companion, Flavia, who fascinates Cathal. Cathal doesn’t know that Flavia is really Flavian, a man masquerading as a woman to escape Ardunn, a restrictive place in which Flavian’s preference for men is forbidden.

Even when Cathal discovers Flavian’s true gender, he cannot fight his attraction to him. Flavian is intrigued by Cathal, but Cathal is still betrothed to Velia, and Flavian worries Cathal is more taken with his feminine illusion than the man beneath it. While both men battle their longings for each other, spies from Ardunn infiltrate the capital, attempting to uncover Tournai’s weaknesses. They are also searching for Flavian, who possesses a magical Talent that allows him to see the truth of a person just by painting their portrait—a skill invaluable to Ardunn’s emperor.
