Pirate Hunter's Lady Release and much news!
I’m pleased to announce the re-release of Book 2 of the
Regency Pirate series, The Pirate Hunter’s Lady (original title, The
Pirate Hunter). This is the story of James Ardmore, the pirate hunter
introduced in April’s release, The Pirate Next Door, and the lady who steals his heart, Diana Worthing.
The book is available from:
Amazon (Kindle): http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0086PD9JK
Barnes & Noble (Nook):
All Romance Ebooks (in pdf, epub, and prc):
Smashwords (all formats): https://www.smashwords.com/books/view/166727
The book will eventually be available on iTunes (Apple),
Kobo, and Sony. It takes a bit of time for them to be processed there—keep
checking back. I know The Pirate Next Door (Book 1) has made it to all
of them.
Why the new title for The Pirate Hunter’s Lady? The
old edition is out of print—in the new edition, I’ve added chapters that detail
Diana and James’s first meeting, plus I’ve re-written the epilogue to focus
more on James and Diana. I went through the entire manuscript revising and
polishing what was there. I had forgotten how intensely emotional James and
Diana were for each other!
Book 3, The Care and Feeding of Pirates will follow
soon. It looks like I’ll be able to use the same cover art as for the print
edition. I loved that cover!
More News, and What’s Coming Up
I had great news about the fourth Mackenzies book, The
Duke’s Perfect Wife. It hit both the New York Times and USA Today
bestsellers lists, the first of my historical romances to do so. I’m absolutely
thrilled. Thank you so much!
I have also learned that the first four Mackenzies books
will be released as audio books. Madness of Lord Ian is already out, Lady
Isabella and Many Sins of Lord Cameron will come out in June, and Duke’s
Perfect Wife will be out in July. These will all be available from Audible,
Amazon, iTunes, and wherever else you buy audio books.
Speaking of Mackenzies, Many readers have asked me about
Inspector Fellows, and if he will have his own story, and the answer is yes, he
will. I’m talking over some things with my publisher, and I hope to have some
announcements about that soon.
The next Mackenzies books are already in the works (I’m
currently writing Seduction of Elliot McBride, and Daniel’s book will be
out after that).
I am also hard at work at both Nightwalker (Stormwalker
4) and A Disappearance in Drury Lane (Capt. Lacey Regency Mysteries, 8).
Now that my plate has cleared a little bit, I can finally focus on those books. The draft of Nightwalker is nearly done, I am happy to say.
Also this year, in the Shifters series, Spike’s story—Hard
Mated—will come out in mid-August. Mate Claimed, the next
full-length Shifter book is out in October. I was hoping to do more short books
in that series this year, but time has been crunched. I will do more, however.
The weather is heating up where I live, intensely so. I’m
turning up the air conditioner, pouring more iced tea, and typing away at more
books.
Take care,
Jennifer Ashley
