New Editions of the Rogues of Ravensmuir Series

Posted on March 27, 2026 by Deborah Cooke

I’m updating the covers for all of the Ravensmuir books, and am starting with the Rogues of Ravensmuir. The new editions will be available in ebook, trade paperback and jacketed hardcover from retailers in February 2027. You can order copies early from me. I was planning to launch these at Kickstarter, but will offer them through my online store instead.

Let’s have a look:

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

These books are really pretty! As with the new editions of Blood Brothers, the Bride Quest and the Champions of St. Euphemia, we have new illustrations of the couples for each title. The illustration is on the case laminate of the hardcover, and it’s duplexed (printed on the inside) of the cover for the trade paperback.

Here’s the illustration for The Rogue:

Each print book has a chapter background which coordinates with the cover. Here’s a screenshot of the one for The Rogue:

And here’s The Scoundrel, first the new illustration, then the chapter background.

And finally for The Warrior:

These are really pretty books! I’ve ordered samples to show you, and will make a video when they arrive.

I’ve set up pre-orders in my online store for the ebooks of the new editions, which will ship automatically on July 1. You can see them here:

The Rogue ebook

The Scoundrel ebook

The Warrior ebook

For the print editions, you have two choices. You can order any of the books individually and get your copy signed. If you order a set of three hardcovers at once, the store will offer free shipping for US and CA addresses, and I’ll order them in July.

Pre-order The Rogue New Hardcover – Signed

Pre-order The Scoundrel New Hardcover – Signed

Pre-order The Warrior New Hardcover – Signed

Or you can order a complete set of all three to be drop-shipped to you if you live in Canada or the US. This saves you some money as well as getting the books to you early. I’ll also send you a signed bookplate for each book and a bookmark featuring the new covers. The shipping is free for US and CA addresses. I’ll leave the pre-order open until July 1, then I’ll order the books and this bundle will vanish.

This is my fake Kickstarter. 🙂 The idea is that as more people order, I’ll be able to add more goodies. I’d like to do postcards with the new illustrations, but we’ll need 15 backers for that to happen. Fingers crossed!

About BookFunnel

Posted on March 18, 2026 by Deborah Cooke

Many authors use BookFunnel to deliver digital content, particularly from their online stores. I do that, too. One reason is that BookFunnel makes it easy to link up automatic deliveries and another is that they have great support for end users. You can always ask them for help in getting your book file wherever you need it to be.

Here’s a bit you might not know. When you buy a book in an author’s online store and the delivery is made by BookFunnel, there’s a process: you complete the purchase in the online store, then you get an email from BookFunnel with a link to get your books.

Those emails can fail to be delivered, especially the first time they’re sent. They might go into your spam or promotions folder, for example. You can whitelist BookFunnel’s email address to try to prevent that (it’s help@bookfunnel.com) but there’s a better way.

It’s so easy. 🙂

Readers can create a free account at BookFunnel, which is then associated with a BookFunnel library.

Here’s the good bit – if you use the same email address when you shop, then BookFunnel will automatically put any books you buy into your BookFunnel library. You don’t need to get the email to click on the link to get your books. BookFunnel just pops them right in there.

And, even if you haven’t created a BookFunnel account in the past, if you’ve bought books using a single email address, that email addy already has a BookFunnel library associated with it, with all your purchases saved and waiting for you. How fabulous is that?

My Online Store is Stocked Up Again

Posted on March 17, 2026 by Deborah Cooke

My online store, Hazel & Honeysuckle Press, is open again, stocked up, and the links are rebuilt here on the website.

I do have some backlist print books to add to the store as well as some audiobook bundles, but that’s not a rush. You should find purple links everywhere here on the site, and links that work. 🙂

Phew! That’s a bit job done!

The Hellion’s Heart in Spanish

Posted on March 16, 2026 by Deborah Cooke

I’ve fallen behind in letting you know that translations are available, so we’ll play a little catch-up over the next few days. First up, The Hellion’s Heart in Spanish.

El corazón del granuja is the Spanish translation of The Hellion's Heart, a Regency romance by Claire Delacroix

Helena Emerson anhela el romance y la aventura, y sueña con casarse con su duque por amor. Sabe que nunca podría soportar un matrimonio con el serio vizconde Addersley, sin importar lo guapo que pueda ser. Consumido por la lógica y el sentido común, el hombre bien podría ser una estatua. ¡Ni siquiera baila! Ella rechaza su oferta de matrimonio para gran disgusto de su familia, pero está decidida a casarse felizmente o no hacerlo en absoluto.

Pero Joshua Hargood, séptimo vizconde Addersley, no es el hombre que Helena cree que es. Dejó de lado sus costumbres libertinas una década atrás, culpándose a sí mismo del accidente que se llevó la vida de su prometida. Sin embargo, nunca ha sido capaz de resistir un desafío si a recompensa bien lo merecía, y el desafío de socavar las suposiciones de Helena es tentador más allá de todo.

Joshua se disfrazará y planeará ser un granuja solo para la dama con la que planea casarse, convencido de que ese es el mérito de su pasado escandaloso. Helena se encontrará cautivada por su misterioso pretendiente y pronto descubrirá su disfraz, solo para enterarse que el vizconde perdió a su prometida años atrás. ¿Podrá ser su corazón realmente reclamado?

Apenas Joshua está convencido de que su artimaña tendrá éxito cuando su hermano, el que cree muerto en Waterloo, regresa para exigir lo que le corresponde. Joshua debe saber que su resentido hermano solo estará satisfecho cuando Addersley sea destruido, junto a su propia felicidad y perspectiva de vida.

¿Estará condenado a ver cómo se repite la tragedia del pasado o podrá Joshua salvar tanto su legado como a su amada Helena?

My Online Store is Open Again

Posted on March 9, 2026 by Deborah Cooke

My online store, Hazel & Honeysuckle Press, is open again. Let’s throw confetti!

There’s still work to be done. Right now, there are print book listings (and the shipping calculator WORKS! More confetti please!) and there are pages for pre-orders for both Pages & Pleasures in April and Love & Romance in Toronto in May. I’ve added some specials to those pages, although you can pre-order any book in the store for pick-up at those shows.

There is also a pre-order for Kiss of Enchantment in its special hardcover edition, which will ship in June.

I still have to add the Dragonfire Novels, in both print and ebook. And I still have to create the delivery links with BookFunnel for ebooks and audiobooks. I’ll be working on that this week.

As I work my way through that job, I’ll be updating the links here on the site to the store. The new links will be purple instead of green – the green links will probably go 404 in the meantime.

But you can hop over to the store and browse.
