Moving my Online Store

My store is on the move, from WooCommerce back to Shopify.

For the moment, neither version is visible as the domain is being transferred. Once that’s done, I’ll need to rebuild all the links here on the site to the new store. The book delivery links at BookFunnel will have to be updated, too.

The new links will be purple, like this:

The old ones, which no longer work, were green.

The main reason for the change is that I could not get the shipping calculator to work on WooCommerce. It worked right away on Shopify. There are other things, but that was the big one.

I have most of the books loaded at Shopify, and the print ones are ready to be displayed (and shipped). Once the domain transfers, I’ll make the new store public, even as I work on rebuilding the ebook delivery links.

I’ll keep you updated on my progress!

New Covers for Ravensmuir Series

I’ve started the process of updating the covers for the four series set in my Ravensmuir world. I’ve been thinking about this for a while, and Dar Albert – as usual – is doing a brilliant job of bringing vague ideas to life. Here’s a peek at the new Rogues of Ravensmuir covers, although they may still be tweaked.

The Rogue, book one of the Rogues of Ravensmuir series of medieval romances by Claire Delacroix
The Scoundrel, book two of the Rogues of Ravensmuir series of medieval romances by Claire Delacroix
The Warrior, book three of the Rogues of Ravensmuir series of medieval romances by Claire Delacroix

All fourteen books set in the world of Ravensmuir are getting new covers, and new illustrations of the couples. Dar Albert is the designer. They will all be available in ebook, trade paperback (with duplexed cover) and jacketed hardcover. I’ll give you some sneak peeks as we finalize the new covers.

As has become routine, I’ll launch these at Kickstarter first, probably in August, in ebook, trade paperback and hard cover (with dust jacket). The new editions will be available at retailers in 2027.

The current print editions are being phased out at retailers. You can still order them from me at my online bookstore, Hazel & Honeysuckle Press, if you have any gaps in your collection.

Here’s the landing page for the Kickstarter campaign, so you can follow it to be notified at launch.

For the month of March, A Most Inconvenient Earl, book four of the Brides of North Barrows series of Regency romances, is just 99 pennies!

A Most Inconvenient Earl, book four of the Brides of North Barrows series of Regency romances by Claire Delacroix, is just 99cents.

Eurydice Goodenham is convinced that a marriage of convenience with the notorious Sebastian Montgomery, Earl of Rockmorton, would be ideal: in exchange for one child, she can retreat to the library of his country house to write, while he continues his scandalous life in London. But when she finds herself falling in love with her unpredictable, mischievous and secretly honorable husband, does she have any hope of claiming his heart?

Sebastian is bored with the world’s amusements, until his friend’s ward makes a startling proposal. He can’t help but challenge Eurydice’s expectations in return. A wild escape to Gretna Green convinces him that his unexpected bride is perfect for him—except that Eurydice doesn’t believe in love. Can Sebastian win this bluestocking’s reluctant heart in time to save a Christmas—and a marriage—going awry?

Multi-Author Kobo Plus Promotion Today!

Today’s the day for the YOLO with KOBO Plus romance binge multi-author promotion!

YOLO with KOBO February 2026

KOBO Plus is a subscription program, much like Kindle Unlimited – you pay a flat monthly fee when you subscribe and can read as much as you want. The big difference on my end is that books don’t have to be exclusive to KOBO to be enrolled in the program, which makes it win-win.

This promotion features a lot (over 400) romances (both ebooks and audiobooks) that are enrolled in KOBO Plus right now. Although the promotion is inspired by the BookWorms promo, in this case, the books are enrolled in KOBO Plus for more than one day. That said, it’s a great way for you to discover new authors, new series and new reads, and KOBO has their own landing page in support of that.

For this promotion, the organizer has a landing page (KOBOPlusRomanceBinge.com) and KOBO builds a landing page on their own site to support the sale. This is usually interesting as they support different categories – the KOBO site also includes the book covers, while the organizer site has a short blurb and keywords – I say ‘usually’ because this time, there’s a glitch. My books (and many others) aren’t on the promotion website due to that glitch; they’re just on the KOBO landing pages.

You’ll find the The Coxwells Boxed Set in Romantic Comedy and The True Love Brides Boxed Set in Historical Romance.

Visit the KOBO Plus Romance Binge website.
