Carole Mortimer's Blog

It’s been a wild roller-coaster 2 years since I started writing my own series in November 2014 — and I've enjoyed every minute of it.

In those 2 years, I have now written 3 series; Alpha, Regency Unlaced and Knight Security.

I love Indie publishing more now I did when I first decided to take that leap into the unknown. It has also allowed me to connect on a more personal level with my readers. Keep those emails coming, I love to hear from you!

So, what have I learned in the past two years? Well, I now know how to put the whole book together, rather than just sending the book content to my publisher: Because I am now the publisher as well as the author I choose the publication date, the cover picture, how many books will be in that series. I’ve also learned how to use social media and market my books including ad campaigns for Promo or Free books. Talking of which, the first book in my Regency Unlaced series, The Duke’s Mistress, is now FREE.

I obviously have a great team to help me with all of this. My son Josh is my PR guy—couldn’t manage without him. My son Matt is my formatter—ditto. My US editor, Linda, and US copyeditor, Kim, are just wonderful. And then there’s the amazingly talented, Jo, also in the US, who designs my covers, memes, and website.

I hope you enjoy reading my latest books and I look forward to sharing many more of them with you in the coming months and years.

As always, the stories in my Regency Unlaced, Knight Security, and Alpha series are all romances with a dash of suspense and/or danger. They are also more explicit in their language and sexual content than my other books. In other words, they’re hot, so you have been warned!

Dear Goodreaders,

I hope you're well and enjoying the summer.

I recently went to NYC to attend the Romance Writers of America Conference to receive the Nora Roberts Lifetime Achievement Award at their award ceremony - I feel honored and was excited that my family flew in to see me receive it.

I thought I'd let you know that my new book Renegade Alpha (Alpha 5)is now available for purchase

Hello All,

I’ve just joined Goodreads as an Author and noticed that you’re following me – Thank you! I've been really busy the last 6 months working on my new Alpha series, and the 5th Alpha book is coming out in July. I'm so excited about the Alpha series, all 5 books are Urban Top 10 and ActionAdventureRomance Top 10 Bestsellers.

The Alpha books are stories of dark and compelling ALPHA men, who are used to taking what they want when they want it, and the strong and determined women who have no intention of being taken. Unless it’s on their own terms...
If you haven’t read them yet then please do, although please note that the ALPHA series have sexier situations and stronger language than my other books.
