Wow! My Kickstarter for the new print editions of my Blood Brothers series of medieval Scottish romances launched yesterday, funded and we reached the first stretch goal. It’s so exciting. This campaign is about new print editions of the four Blood Brothers books, each featuring a new illustration. Here are the dust jackets on the new hardcover books:
The paperbacks look similar on the outside.
Then there are the new illustrations: they go on the case laminate of the hardcovers and are printed on the inside of the trade paperbacks. Here’s a mock-up of how that will look for The Dragon & the Damsel:
Now that we’re funded, the stretch goals are adding new features to the books. We’ve already added a set of bookmarks:
These bookmarks are big (3.5″ by 8.5″) and there are four of them in total, one featuring each new illustration. The reverse side of all four is the same, the series with the current covers. Each backer of a tier with signed print books will get a set of these bookmarks.
Our current stretch goal is the addition of THE MAP.
The map makes me so happy! Drawn by Ellen Tribble, it will go into the new print editions when we reach the current stretch goal. It will also be available as a digital download to all backers, AND backers of signed book tiers will get one printed on parchment (it’ll be about 8″ by 9″).
These editions aren’t going to be available at retailers. You’ll be able to buy them only from me, in a Kickstarter campaign or in my online store. The goodies we add during the campaign will only be available through the Kickstarter campaign, as well.
And there’s an Early Bird bonus, a special tier with all four signed hardcover editions, each with a vellum overlay, available for 48 hours only. (You can also buy the overlays as an add-on.)
The campaign runs through March 3, a little longer than originally planned.
There are also ebook and audiobook tiers available.
Don’t miss out! Come on over to Kickstarter and join the fun!
Today’s the day! My Kickstarter for the new print editions of my Blood Brothers series of medieval Scottish romances has launched. You can order signed copies of the new editions – either in hardcover or trade paperback with a duplex cover – featuring the new illustrations. You can also order a set of unsigned trade paperbacks to be delivered directly from the printer to you. (This option has no additional postage in the US.)

My next Kickstarter campaign will feature new hardcover editions of the four Blood Brothers medieval Scottish romances and launches next Monday. (eek! I’m trying to be cool about this one.) We’ve seen the new dustjackets and new illustrations, but now you can see them on actual books. I ordered early copies of The Hunter & the Heiress in those two new editions, and this short video shows all four books – the current trade paperback and large print hardcover, and the new trade paperback with duplexed cover and new hard cover with case laminate illustration.
The preview page for the Blood Brothers campaign is live at Kickstarter now, and you can follow it to be notified when the campaign launches.

This quarter, we’re focussing on the Ravensmuir, Inverfyre and Kinfairlie books, to celebrate the addition of a new story to that group, The Stolen Bride. Evangeline and Ramsay’s story will be published February 27 but right now, The Frost Maiden’s Kiss is on sale for just 99cents. Malcolm and Catriona’s story is one of homecoming – Malcolm comes home and Catriona finds a home – of love unexpected and the healing of a cursed hero. They make an appearance in The Stolen Bride, too, which gives us a chance to check in with them several years after their HEA.
She enchanted him with a kiss—but winning her love would demand all he possessed.
After eight years abroad, Malcolm returns to Scotland with a fortune, a companion even more hardened than he and a determination to restore his inherited holding. But when that companion falls into peril, Malcolm seizes the chance to repay an old debt, trading his own soul for that of his doomed comrade. Knowing his days are limited and determined to leave a legacy of merit, Malcolm rebuilds Ravensmuir with all haste, though he fears he will never have an heir.
A night of violence has left Catriona with no home and no faith in the honor of men. She expects little good from a visit to her lady’s brother, Laird of Ravensmuir, a known mercenary. But the handsome laird challenges her expectations with his courtesy, his allure—and his unexpected proposal. Knowing it is her sole chance to ensure her child’s future, Catriona dares to accept Malcolm’s hand. She soon realizes that this warrior fights a battle of his own and that she holds the key to his salvation. Little does she realize her past is in hot pursuit, seeking to destroy all she holds dear—including the laird who has thawed the frost of her reluctant heart.
