The Beauty Boo-Boos

In the midst of uploading twelve new books with interiors and covers, I made a mistake. I ordered hardcover copies of The Beauty which didn’t have the reader letter.

Oops!

The page for the reader letter in these boo-boo books looks like this:

The Beauty new 25th anniversary Bride Quest commemorative edition, with no reader letter

It should look like this:

The Beauty new 25th anniversary Bride Quest commemorative edition, with printed reader letter

These books are identical to the final hardcover editions otherwise, and it’s a shame to waste such pretty books. I’m having a sale to find them new homes – essentially, I’m selling them at cost.

Each book will be signed and numbered. I’ve printed the reader letter and will tuck it into the book, like this:

The Beauty new 25th anniversary Bride Quest commemorative edition, with inserted reader letter

You’ll also get a set of Bride Quest postcards, bookmarks and some stickers from the Kickstarter campaign.

This book is available for pre-order from the portals for $39.99US for November delivery.

The Beauty Boo-Boos are $40CA (almost exactly $30US), including postage to US addresses – signed, numbered and with swag you won’t get from the portals. Most of that is the postage cost. There’s an additional postage charge for other geos: $10CA for CA, $15CA more for UK or AU addresses.

When they’re gone, they’re gone.

Here’s a video on YouTube showing the book.

If you’d like to claim one of these books, please send me an email. I’ll send you a Paypal invoice. Once it’s paid and I have your details, I’ll sign your book and get it on its way to you.

The Temptress 25th Anniversary Commemorative Edition

Last cover reveal! Phew. This has been a whirlwind but a fun one.

My campaign is underway at Kickstarter to celebrate 25 years since the original launch of my Bride Quest series of medieval romances. There are new editions of the six Bride Quest books coming to retailers in November. Each book has a new cover illustration of the couple. The image is the cover of the new mass market paperback edition. It’s also the case laminate on the new hardcover edition, which has an image similar to the current trade paperback on the dust jacket. These books will be available for pre-order shortly – the new editions of The Princess is already available for pre-order and I’ve added the links to the landing page here on the site.

But you can order advance copies of the new books through this Kickstarter campaign, running through June 10. I’m also doing the cover reveals during the campaign.

Here is the new cover illustration of Bayard and Esmeraude for The Temptress:

We end with another lovely cover. I think it’s fun that we were able to find stock to show the relationships between the characters – Bayard, for example, is the son of Burke from The Damsel, so we used a different pose of the same model (since Bayard is said to resemble his father.) He looks like more trouble, though, in this image, which is perfectly in character. And that little smile of Esmeraude’s is exactly perfect.

Bayard and Esmeraude’s story is a second Bride Quest, evocative of the challenge launched in The Princess. (So, it’s also great to have a similar palette for their illustration.) Bayard is accustomed to success in all endeavors, but Esmeraude wants to wed for love – he’ll have to lose his heart to win her hand, which isn’t part of his plan. These two lead each other on a merry chase, and it’s one that challenges both their expectations.

Here is the new cover illustration of Angus and Jaqueline for The Beauty:

Isn’t it pretty?

Angus and Jacqueline’s story is that of an embittered knight bent on revenge and the maiden he captures – who not only isn’t the right maiden but challenges him in every way. I adore these two together and the way that Jacqueline helps Angus to regain his stolen legacy.

Here is the new cover illustration of Duncan and Eglantine for The Countess:

New Cover illustration for The Countess, book four of the Bride Quest series of medieval romances by Claire Delacroix

One more time, I just love the new illustration and how well it depicts the couple.

Duncan and Eglantine’s story is another enemies-to-lovers romance and a battle of wills between two strong characters. I love that Eglantine thinks she’s too old for love (at thirty) and is more interested in ensuring her daughters’ futures, while Duncan takes one look at her and knows she’s the woman for him. All he has to do is convince Eglantine to take a chance on love again, no easy feat. It might take him all of that year and a day…

The schedule for the 25th anniversary commemorative editions of The Bride Quest at Kickstarter, May 30 to June 10

Yesterday, I added the BookWorm Swag Box to the reward tiers, which includes two signed medieval romance series starters in trade paperback, plus the physical swag from the campaign and more goodies.

I also added a Bride Quest bookmark, which everyone will get as a digital download. Everyone who orders copies of the Bride Quest books in the campaign will get the bookmarks – I’ll include them with the signed books, and will mail them separately to those who order personalized books. They’re in the BookWorm Swag Box, too.

We’re still working on the stretch goal to add the coloring pages as digital downloads to all tiers. We have 26 backers and need 30 for everyone to get SIX downloadable colouring pages.

I’ll be revealing the cover illustration for The Beauty on Monday. You can save on six-book bundles through Monday morning, too.

Can’t you just hear Bronwyn straightening out Rowan? 🙂

Rowan and Bronwyn’s story is an enemies-to-lovers story and a battle of wills, between an apparent rogue seeking a wealthy bride and an heiress in disguise. This romance is filled with action and adventure, and is just plain fun.

Today, I have a stretch goal on the campaign – if we reach 30 backers, every backer will get three downloadable coloring pages of the new covers. I’ll use the mass market paperback covers for these, so there will be lots to color. You can back the campaign for just $5 CA to help us reach this goal, and you’ll get an advance copy of the new short story, Christmas at Tullymullagh, as well as the colorling pages and any other digital assets added to the campaign before next Saturday.

Here’s the schedule for the campaign.
