The Damsel 25th Anniversary Commemorative Edition

Yesterday, I launched my campaign at Kickstarter to celebrate 25 years since the original launch of my Bride Quest series of medieval romances. The campaign funded yesterday morning, which means it’s a go.

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 Burke and Alys for The Damsel:

I think this one is just so lovely and the pose is perfect for Burke and Alys. 🙂

Burke and Alys’ story is a second chance romance and a Cinderella story, one in which the secrets and lies of the past stand in the path of their happy future together.

Here are the current editions of the book, including the ebook at left, the new mass market edition, the current trade paperback edition and the new hard cover.

Here’s the new hard cover with both dust jacket and case laminate.

Today, there are some new tiers. Check the update for a list.

I also added a stretch goal today – when we reach 30 backers (there are currently 18) at any reward level, I’ll add three colouring pages of the new illustrations as digital assets for all backers to download.

You can order copies of these new editions through Kickstarter until June 10, and receive your copies early, signed or personalized, and get some swag. Every backer at Kickstarter, for example, gets the ebook of the new bonus epilogue to the Bride Quest I, Christmas at Tullymullagh. I’ll be adding more assets over the campaign, too. There are Early Bird tiers with special pricing that are available for a limited time, and there will be a swag box, too.

Here’s the schedule for the campaign.

I’ll be revealing the cover illustration for The Heiress tomorrow.

There’s an excerpt from Maximilian and Alys’ story posted on the page for The Wolf & the Witch, so you can get a taste of the upcoming book.

Also, there will be an audiobook available, probably near the end of May. Tim Campbell will be doing the narration.

Also (!) there will be a large print hardcover edition with a different cover. The cover from the ebook will be on the trade paperback print edition, but not the hardcover.
