I’ve started to post weekly updates on my Cooke site, so I thought it would make sense to do them here as well. 🙂

As you know, One Knight’s Bride is now out in the world. The print edition is available as well, both at the portals and in my online store. There are a lot of wonderful reviews for this book already which is exciting.

I’ve ordered the next two covers in the Rogues & Angels series from the designer – I’m not sure whether Luc or Thierry will end up being next, twins being as they are, so I want to have both covers ready to go. As with Amaury’s book, I’ll put up the pre-order when the book goes to editing so it’s pretty much ready to go.

We’re also repackaging the books set in the Ravensmuir world right now. The Rogues of Ravensmuir are done. These new editions are available in trade paperback or jacketed hardcover – there’s a new illustration of each couple by Dar Albert, which goes on the case laminate of the hard cover or on the inside of the duplexed trade paperback cover. As always, Dar is doing a gorgeous job – you can see the illustrations for the first three books in this blog post.

I was going to take this launch to Kickstarter, but instead it will be in my online store first, then at retailers. You can order the new print editions of the Rogues of Ravensmuir in my online store right here for delivery in July or look for them at retail portals next February. The ebooks will get the new covers at retailers in February, as well, or you can order them for earlier delivery in my online store.

This week, we started working on the illustrations for the Jewels of Kinfairlie series. Here’s the first pass of the outside covers, though they may change slightly before we’re done:

Ah, there already have been changes! The pendant shown here on The Snow White Bride has moved to the cover for The Beauty Bride, because Madeline has that necklace, the Virgin’s Tear, which has a clear stone. There are always tweaks and changes before we finish up. As with the Rogues of Ravensmuir, I’ll make the new editions available early in my online store – The Ballad of Rosamunde will be included in the print edition of The Snow White Bride, so its cover here is just for the ebook.

I’ve also signed a new deal this week for The Christmas Conquest to be translated into German, with the plan of continuing through the rest of the series with the same translator. I’ll be pleased to see that series available in German as I think it will do well in that market.

That’s this week’s news!
