My Cover for Lost Treasure, Captive Princess Arrived!
Good morning, me hearties!!! I'm in a great mood today!!! I bet you can guess why. I got my new book cover for Lost Treasure, Captive Princess, my first contemporary release yesterday. Woot!!!
Crimson Romance's art department has done a fantastic job capturing Carolina Beugre in her Carnivale masquerade costume, don't you think? The emeralds she copied are around her neck and Gian-Paolo is about to see her for the very first time, in person. (Goosebumps!!!)
I'm extremely lucky to have the wonderful people at Crimson behind this book. Having lived in Italy for three years, I had no other choice but to write a book which included everything Italian. Italian people are the most gracious, loving people in the world. And if I could go back and live in Italy, I'd do it in a heartbeat, me hearties.
Now, you may be wondering... What does this contemporary have to do with your other pirate series? Well, you see I'd like to be an author of many hats. But in all my books there will be adventure, treasure, mystery and the ever-present alpha male, exuding a heavy does of machismo. To counter the alpha spirit, enter in the woman strong enough to meet him face to face. Carolina may be not have been born a princess, but her spirit suggests she's more than capable of fulfilling the role.
Haven't we all dreamed of becoming a princess, of meeting the prince of our dreams? Fate provided that prince for Carolina. But will she accept the gift?
Wishing ye all a heart-stirring day!
Blessings,
Katherine

Week in Review & Interview Link
Happy Thursday, me hearties!!! How has your week been going so far? ;)
I've had a great week! My rogue is coming home after being gone to Poland on business all week and that's always a good time to bring out the rum. (Pirate!)
My oldest son, HS#1, has returned home after being on a tour of duty in Japan for over 2 months. We're all so happy he's back in the US, safe and sound!!!
Also, my youngest daughter, DD#2, presented her senior project to great reviews from her professors. She's passed muster!!! Yay!! Graduation from Auburn in a few weeks. Woot!!!
As for me, I've been interviewed by Nancy S. Goodman at the Rakes, Rogues & Romance blog. Nancy asked some great questions and I hope you'll stop by to check out the interview. One of the commentors won an Ebook copy of LOST TREASURE, CAPTIVE PRINCESS!
Here's the link:

I'm rounding out my day by going to spend time with my brainstorming partner. Lots to ponder as I begin work on Book Three in the Nelson's Tea Series. Garrick Seaton is such a tricky hero. Meanwhile, edits for THE ROGUE'S PRIZE have come in and I'm getting the book ready for production. Yay!!!
Have a great end of week and a fantastic weekend!!!

Romance Readers' Luncheon
Hey gang,
Some fun stuff coming up for me. First, I've been putting together some awesome promo for the 2013 Heart of Dixie's Romance Readers' Luncheon, June 8th. Gotta take care of my peeps, right? I'm a creative soul, so I love discovering exciting ways to share my book love, aka my books. LOL!!
What did I come up with, you ask? Well, for starters each attendee will be getting a a packet with postcards, bookmarks and my signature Stress Bone. Top that off with an author basket door prize, plus a Rogue raffle basket. And that's not all. Each guest at my table will receive a print copy of Duke by Day, Rogue by Night and a surprise pirate trunk filled with goodies. I can't wait to share me treasure!!!
Readers are what makes writing a success. Readers are the buoy to a writer's spirit. Book wouldn't be available without readers. It's my goal to ensure that my readers know how much I care about them. That's why I've opened another Goodreads Giveaway as a means of celebrating my newest release The Rogue's Prize.
I hope you feel my love for you, even if you aren't attending tomorrow's luncheon in Alabama. You, dear reader, are the wind in my sails.
Blessings,
Katherine

Thank You!!!
Dear Crewmates,
Thank you so much for helping make my Kindle Daily Deal such a memorable event!!! On September 27th, you helped me become an Amazon Bestselling Author and helped my book climb to #1 on the Regency and Historical Lists. Woot!!! Duke also peaked at #5 on the Literature & Contemporary Fiction list. (Psst! Stephen King had 3 books ahead of Duke by Day. Talk about mind-blowing...) And finally, you helped Duke by Day, Rogue by Night climb all the way to #18 on the All Kindle Paid list!!!
Of course, all good things peak and ebb, just as they do in everyday life. Though my book has slipped down from those lofty heights since Friday, it still seems to be going strong, thanks to YOU, dearest readers and friends!!! AND The Rogue's Prize and Lost Treasure, Captive Princess have shown great spikes in sales as well. Raise the rum!!!
To celebrate, if you still own an IPhone 3GS, don't forget to comment on my blog for a chance to win an IPhone cover with Duke by Day, Rogue's by Night's bookcover design! It's a beauty. I'll also be giving away a Samsung Galaxy 2 cover with the same design very soon. So keep your eyes on the horizon!

One of the best things about being a writer, besides being able to venture to places I've never been, is sharing my stories with you. You make this journey worth sailing, me hearties!
