The Wolf & the Witch in Spanish

The Wolf & the Witch, book one of my Blood Brothers series of medieval romances, is now available in a Spanish edition!

The Wolf & the Witch Spanish edition

Privado de su legítima herencia, Maximilian de Vries traza un plan para vengarse de su padre y asegurar su propio futuro. Se alía con sus dos hermanastros, invade la histórica y misteriosa Kilderrick y se apodera del torreón que antaño le fue prometido. Una mujer, bruja según los rumores, es la única lo suficientemente audaz como para enfrentarse a él, pero Maximilian sabe cómo resolverlo: la convertirá en su esposa, con o sin su permiso, y sellará su reivindicación.

Sin embargo, a este poderoso guerrero todavía le queda enfrentarse a la inteligencia de Alys Armstrong, una doncella con sed de venganza y una furia que podría superar a la de él. Alys no tiene la intención de capitular ante el orgulloso y poderoso rebelde que le arrebató todo (por más seductoras que resulten ser sus caricias). Además, ella no comparte la obligación que tiene él de pelear de manera justa.

Enemigos acérrimos desde el primer momento, el matrimonio de Maximilian y Alys es una guerra de voluntades. Cuando se encienda la chispa de la pasión, ¿serán capaces de resistirse a la tentación? Y cuando el mismísimo Kilderrick corra peligro, ¿unirán fuerzas para salvar los terrenos que ambos aprecian… y el inesperado amor que valoran por encima de todo lo demás?

Blood Brothers Hard Cover Special Editions

A bit belatedly, I realized that I hadn’t shown you the hard cover special editions of the Blood Brothers books. We’ll fix that today. 🙂

New hardcover edition of The Wolf & the Witch by Claire Delacroix, with dust jacket and illustration on case laminate

These editions have the new illustrations by Dar Albert. I showed off the trade paperbacks with their duplex covers (which have the illustrations on the inside of the cover) in this post. For the hard cover, there’s a dust jacket with the type and the illustration appears on the case laminate, like this digital mock-up to the right. Both have a matte finish that feels really luxe to me.

Let’s look at the actual books now that I have a few on my shelf. Here are the four books with their dust jackets:

Here are the fronts of the case laminates:

And the backs of the case laminates:

These special edition interiors include some different typographic elements, but also include the Blood Brothers map and family trees. The family tree for Jean Le Beau is in all four books, then each book has a family tree for the hero and for the heroine. Those elements are included in all of the special editions – ebook, trade paperback and hardcover.

The Blood Brothers map is included in these editions, too, and we split it so details wouldn’t vanish into the gutter.

Finally, there’s a list of acknowledgements in these editions to thank all the Kickstarter backers who helped bring these editions to life. There are more on the other side of the page.

You can pre-order signed copies of the print books in my online store – that will be for the first fulfillment after the Kickstarter campaign, and I’ll place that order in June. I’ll include the Blood Brothers bookmarks with these orders, too.

The spiral notebooks that are left are also available in the store now. They won’t be restocked, so once they’re gone, that’s that. You’ll find them in New Arrivals there, as well as the discounted sample copies of The Hunter & the Heiress that I ordered in advance of the campaign. Those two sample books have the illustration on the cover, but don’t have the map or family trees inside.

For this sale, you have your choice of ebook or audiobook. (Note that I can’t change the price at Audible, so the audiobook isn’t on sale at that portal.)

The Crusader’s Bride

The Crusader's Bride, book one of the Champions of St. Euphemia series of medieval romances by Claire Delacroix

Gaston battled for duty and honor—until Ysmaine tempted him to fight for her love…

When the Templar knight Gaston unexpectedly inherits his family estate, he knows he needs a wife and heir. A marriage of convenience to a widow in need of assistance is a practical solution and the newly-wed pair leave Jerusalem, entrusted with the delivery of a package for the Templars. Away from the life he has known for years, Gaston quickly realizes that little is following his plan—especially his mysterious wife, whose presence awakens an unexpected fire…

Twice widowed, Ysmaine doubts she will ever wed again, let alone have a marriage of merit—until she is charmed by the gruff knight intent upon defending her. Ysmaine weds again, not only by her own choice but to a warrior whose honor she admires. She is determined to show Gaston that marriage has more to offer them both than an heir, but first she must win the trust of the wary man she has impulsively wed…

Neither realize that Gaston has been entrusted with the treasure of the Templars—much less that someone in their small party is intent upon claiming the prize at any cost. In a company of strangers with secrets, can Gaston dare to trust his new bride? Can Ysmaine convince Gaston to confide what he knows? Can they solve the riddle together before the villain’s plan comes to fruition and all is lost?

Multi-Author Kobo Plus Promotion Today!

Today’s the day for the YOLO with KOBO Plus romance binge multi-author promotion!

YOLO with KOBO Plus multi-author romance binge promotion April 2024

KOBO Plus is a subscription program, much like Kindle Unlimited – you pay a flat monthly fee when you subscribe and can read as much as you want. The big difference on my end is that books don’t have to be exclusive to KOBO to be enrolled in the program, which makes it win-win.

This promotion features a lot (over 650) romances that are enrolled in KOBO Plus right now. Although the promotion is inspired by the BookWorms promo, in this case, the books are enrolled in KOBO Plus for more than one day. That said, it’s a great way for you to discover new authors, new series and new reads, and KOBO has their own landing page in support of that.

You’ll find the The Champions of St. Euphemia Boxed Set on the historical romance landing page.

Free Series Starters

The Beauty Bride, #1 of the Jewels of Kinfairlie series of medieval Scottish romances by Claire Delacroix

I’m switching things up with my free series starters. First-in-series-free can be a really good way to find new readers, but over time, it loses effectiveness.

The Beauty Bride (book one of the Jewels of Kinfairlie series) has been a free starter for a while, but that will end on April 30. On May 1, Rhys and Madeline’s story will return to full price. If you haven’t grabbed your copy yet, you might want to do that now.

I’m going to experiment with 99cent series starters for the next few months, so watch for those specials, starting in May.
