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 Duncan and Eglantine for The Countess:
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…
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.
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.
Here’s the schedule for the campaign.
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.
