Changes to Audiobook Distribution

This week, one of the companies I use to distribute my audiobooks changed their terms. The new terms are not attractive, nor are they negotiable. As a result, I’ve unpublished my audiobooks from that distributor.

The changes will likely take some time to percolate through the distribution channels, but you can expect my audiobooks to vanish from portals other than Audible, Apple, Amazon, GooglePlay and KOBO. The links will change for Apple and GooglePlay. You can also, of course, buy them directly from me in my online store.

I’ll be removing the other buy links from my websites.

It is not unlikely that there will be another distributor pop up to fill the void, as there are many authors and audiobook producers unhappy with this change. If and when that happens and my audiobooks have wider distribution, I’ll let you know. 🙂

The Video of Four Editions of The Hunter & the Heiress

My next Kickstarter campaign will feature new hardcover editions of the four Blood Brothers medieval Scottish romances and launches next Monday. (eek! I’m trying to be cool about this one.) We’ve seen the new dustjackets and new illustrations, but now you can see them on actual books. I ordered early copies of The Hunter & the Heiress in those two new editions, and this short video shows all four books – the current trade paperback and large print hardcover, and the new trade paperback with duplexed cover and new hard cover with case laminate illustration.

The Frost Maiden’s Kiss is 99¢

This quarter, we’re focussing on the Ravensmuir, Inverfyre and Kinfairlie books, to celebrate the addition of a new story to that group, The Stolen Bride. Evangeline and Ramsay’s story will be published February 27 but right now, The Frost Maiden’s Kiss is on sale for just 99cents. Malcolm and Catriona’s story is one of homecoming – Malcolm comes home and Catriona finds a home – of love unexpected and the healing of a cursed hero. They make an appearance in The Stolen Bride, too, which gives us a chance to check in with them several years after their HEA.

The Frost Maiden's Kiss, #3 of the True Love Brides series of medieval Scottish romances by Claire Delacroix

She enchanted him with a kiss—but winning her love would demand all he possessed.

After eight years abroad, Malcolm returns to Scotland with a fortune, a companion even more hardened than he and a determination to restore his inherited holding. But when that companion falls into peril, Malcolm seizes the chance to repay an old debt, trading his own soul for that of his doomed comrade. Knowing his days are limited and determined to leave a legacy of merit, Malcolm rebuilds Ravensmuir with all haste, though he fears he will never have an heir.

A night of violence has left Catriona with no home and no faith in the honor of men. She expects little good from a visit to her lady’s brother, Laird of Ravensmuir, a known mercenary. But the handsome laird challenges her expectations with his courtesy, his allure—and his unexpected proposal. Knowing it is her sole chance to ensure her child’s future, Catriona dares to accept Malcolm’s hand. She soon realizes that this warrior fights a battle of his own and that she holds the key to his salvation. Little does she realize her past is in hot pursuit, seeking to destroy all she holds dear—including the laird who has thawed the frost of her reluctant heart.
