About Deborah Cooke

I write romance novels, including medieval romances as Claire Delacroix, and contemporary and paranormal romances as Deborah Cooke. I also am an avid knitter and sewist.

A Surprise Addition to my Writing Queue

The Daughter's Disguise, book seven of the Ladies' Essential Guide to the Art of Seduction series of Regency romances by Claire Delacroix

This past week, I discovered a chapter on my hard drive, as I was digging into The Duke’s Desire. I was thinking that Esmeralda and the duke’s story would be the culmination of the series, then I read this bit from Theodora – who is Ophelia Pearl, the aspiring actress, and has a number of secrets.

Her story, The Daughter’s Disguise, will be #7 in the series, The Ladies’ Essential Guide to the Art of Seduction, and it’s a Christmas story.

I ordered a cover but won’t put this one up for pre-order until the book is done. I’m hoping to publish it in the fall.

My Online Store is Open

I have an online store again. Actually, it’s a new store in a new location, but the happy news is that you can buy directly from me once again. YAY!

Hazel & Honeysuckle Press

I took the opportunity to create a business name and commission a logo for my publishing company, a job that was long overdue. Hazel & Honeysuckle Press publishes my books, no matter what name I’ve written them under.

I’m starting the site with ebooks, so I don’t have to configure the shipping just yet. The store is open to readers in Canada, the US, the UK and Australia at this point.

All digital content from the store will be delivered automatically via BookFunnel – they provide great technical support if you need it to get your new ebooks onto your device of choice.

I still have plenty more books to add, but you can have a poke around the store now. (I also have to add the buy links to this site and the Delacroix one, but one step at a time.) There’s a discount code in the header for new customers, too.

New Apple Links for Rogues & Angels and The Unicorn Series

Another batch of new links! Remember that if you had ordered One Knight’s Bride at Apple before the beginning of March, your pre-order has likely been cancelled. I apologize that you’ll need to order Amaury’s book again.

New Links for The Ladies’ Essential Guide & the Brides of North Barrows at Apple

New Apple links are populating, so I’ll share them with you by series as they’re updated here on the site. (You can read more about the change in this blog post.) I’m working through my catalogue by series so there aren’t any stragglers. 🙂 These updates will feature the new Apple links, but if you click on the book cover, it will take you to the book’s landing page here on the site, where you can read more about the book and find other retailer links. The Apple links will be updated on the landing page by the time I make a post like this, as well.

All of my books have been published from the aggregator to Apple, but as I work through removing them from direct publication, you may find duplicate listings. The listing that will survive this transition is the one that lists Draft2Digital as the seller. You’ll find this information on the product page, below the description – I’ve circled it in this image:

seller is Draft2Digital at Apple

First up, The Ladies’ Essential Guide to the Art of Seduction.

Sadly, this is the big hit from this change – there were a number of pre-orders for The Duke’s Desire that ended up being cancelled. If you had pre-ordered that title at Apple, please order it again with this new link. I apologize for the extra work on your end.

The first three books had been published via the aggregator, then were switched over, so these editions do have some reviews. Yay.
