New Pinterest Boards

Posted on December 18, 2017 by Deborah Cooke

I’ve been getting organized at Pinterest these past few days, and gathering inspiration for Rogues & Angels. My boards have moved around a bit, since Pinterest now allows them to be nested – instead of each book having its own board, each book is a section within a board dedicated to each series.

Here’s the board for the Champions of St. Euphemia. The board existed before, for the series, but the books were separate. Now each book is in a section of its own. I realized the “series” pins were really for The Crusader’s Bride, so I popped them into that section.

There’s a new board for Rogues & Angels, which is a work in progress (and will be until the series is all written). You can follow it right here.

The Ravensmuir, Kinfairlie and Inverfyre books have been gathered into a single board, to better echo the structure of this new website. Each book has a section of its own and there’s another section for the three keeps themselves, because those details are common to many of the books. Here’s the Ravensmuir, Kinfairlie and Inverfyre board.

I still have my Medieval Eye Candy board, which is a catch-all for images that I find evocative of medieval romance. It’s right here.

I also discovered that I hadn’t turned on the Pinterest button for this website, but it’s on now – it appears when you hover over any of the images, and allows you to pin those images to your board of choice.

Meet My Rogues & Angels

Posted on December 15, 2017 by Deborah Cooke

As you may know, I have a new series of medieval romances launching in January with the publication of One Knight Enchanted. This linked series follows a group of eight knights who have fought together during the First Crusade and are returning home to Europe. Some have legacies: some don’t. All of them need wives and true love, whether they believe it or not, and we’ll take care of that in this series. 🙂

The series will include revised books (like One Knight Enchanted) and completely new works. I’ll be switching between this series and the Brides of Inverfyre series of medieval Scottish romances for the next year at least. I’ll also be linking the Rogues & Angels to some of my other series—these books are set around 1100, so you’ll meet some forebears of heroes and heroines you already know. At this moment, it looks as if there will be seven books in the Rogues & Angels series and at least five in the Brides of Inverfyre. There’s lots of writing ahead!

Right now, come and meet the Rogues & Angels. This excerpt is the prologue from One Knight Enchanted and it introduces the knights.

The Bride Quest Goes to KU

My experiment with Kindle Unlimited is going pretty well, so I’ll be moving the Bride Quest series into that program by January 1. I’ll have to start republishing them at the end of this week at other portals, so if you shop at other portals, this is last call.

The Bride Quest – all six books and two bundles:
• The Princess
• The Damsel
• The Heiress
• The Bride Quest I Boxed Set
• The Countess
• The Beauty
• The Temptress
• The Bride Quest II Boxed Set

Updated Bride Quest Family Tree

Posted on December 8, 2017 by Deborah Cooke

As I was creating a spreadsheet of characters, names, and places this week, I discovered a mistake in the family tree for Crevy-sur-Seine.

While Kim was fixing that, I had her add the children that have already been born, since they weren’t listed yet. This won’t be all of the kids—I expect Bayard and Esmeraude had more than one child—but it’s what we know so far.

All of the family trees for my books are free downloads in my online store. If you downloaded this one before, you should have received an email that there’s an update available. Either way, you can download the updated family tree right here.
