New Editions of the Rogues of Ravensmuir Series

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:

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.

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!

My Online Store is Stocked Up Again

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!

My Online Store is Open Again

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.

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 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.
