​Today is the first Rainbow Snippet of the new year! I decided to share a few lines from the beginning of The Prince's Consort this weekend since I turned an edit in to NineStar last weekend. I received the rights back to this book (which was my first published book) from Dreamspinner in October, and it's going to be republished by NineStar (hopefully in February...), so we've been polishing it up and giving it a new cover, though the story remains the same. Here are the first lines in the book:

I'll share more information about when The Prince's Consort will be out and the new cover as soon as I can. Thanks for reading today. Happy New Year! I hope this year is filled with happiness and good health for everyone.

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!

This week's snippet comes from The Prince's Consort. Completely unintentionally, my first published book was left for last as I worked my way through first kisses in my books (and now that I'm done snippeting first kisses, I have to figure out what to snippet next. I might need a new theme!). In The Prince's Consort, Amory is the son of a merchant and Philip the Crown Prince. They meet when Amory's horrible father tries to barter Amory for extra time to complete a commission for the prince. Even though they're both disgusted by Amory's fathers proposition, Philip and Amory are attracted to each other as well. Here's their first kiss.

​The prince’s smile lit the room, like the sun appearing, and Amory was dazzled looking at him. When he stood and held out a hand, Amory didn’t hesitate to take it and let the prince draw him to his feet. They were close together, so close Amory could feel the heat of the prince’s body. The prince leaned down the few inches separating them and brushed his lips over Amory’s.

​The kiss was light and quick, but utterly stunning. Amory knew his eyes were wide as he stared at the prince, his breath coming faster, a tingle of warmth shimmering over his entire body. All from one chaste kiss. He wondered what would happen when they really kissed.

The prince’s eyes were wide as well as he watched Amory. Had it felt the same to him? It had barely been a kiss, but it felt like a start. Maybe even a promise.

The Prince's Consort is on sale at Dreamspinner, so I thought I'd share a snippet from it with you today. The Prince's Consort was my first published book, a prince/commoner fantasy romance.

The Prince's Consort was published three years ago today, and I became a published author! I can't believe it's been three years and six more books—it somehow feels both like much longer and no time at all at the same time. The Prince's Consort and Amory and Philip will always have a special place in my heart because it was my first published book and because of these characters and their story, that of a lonely prince with a magical secret and a commoner escaping from a horrible family who fall for each other and make a life together against all odds. I'm so happy that I get to visit with them in each book of the Chronicles of Tournai series, just to check in and see how they're enjoying their happily ever after and supporting the people they love.

Legends tell of large cats defending the principality of Tournai, but such creatures have been lost to time.

Or have they?

Prince Philip inherited the throne at a young age, and since then, his life has centered around ruling his country and resisting those pressuring him to take a wife and conceive an heir—forcing him to hide his attraction to men. When kind-hearted Amory is offered to the prince in exchange for more time for Amory’s father to complete a commission, both Philip and Amory are horrified. But Philip agrees to keep Amory at the palace, where they gradually become friends, then lovers. For the first time in his life, Philip is free to share not only his heart, but the magical shape-shifting ability that runs in the royal bloodline.

Neither Amory nor Philip imagined falling in love, and they certainly don’t expect the lengths those who oppose their relationship will go to keep them apart—maybe even resorting to murder.
