One of my favorite things to do when the weather turns colder is enjoy a cup of tea each afternoon. Sometimes I even have two cups. Right now my favorite tea is Lady Grey Tea. Can't get enough of it. It's getting colder as the summer days are ending and soon it'll be time for pumpkin spice everything. Autumn is a special time for readers. It's when the craziness of summer winds down and we pick up our books and settle in for quiet, reading time. There's a wonderful stack of books I'm anxious to get to too.
I wanted to share a little news and what I've been up to. As you might have seen, I've recently taken my books off of Amazon KU and have made them available at all retailers (B&N, Kobo, GooglePlay, iBooks, etc.) Thank you, Readers, for those of you who brought them. It makes me happy to have them out in the world again. 😊
Along with that, I am making box sets of some of my series. The Gunn Guardsman series is now available. Four full-length Scottish Historicals. If you haven't read them, you won't want to miss the hunky Gunn Guardsmen. They're incredibly sexy, honorable, and loving. 💕
Starting in September and going through to the end of October, I'll be making a lot of posts here. Join me as I share exclusive excerpts from all my books and even some from books that will be released later this year or early next.
Excerpts will include:
Beginnings - clips of the beginning of stories (first meetings, character insights, villain's intentions)
First Kiss - clips of the hero/heroine's first kiss
Dark Moments - clips of moments that are perhaps sad, dangerous, or disparaging
Sexy Scenes - clips of moments when hero/heroine come together in love or lust
Friends - clips of scenes with friends (clansmen, women friends, servants, children)
Pets - clips of scenes with pets (I love putting animals in my stories and will share moments)
Author Notes - I always include author notes in the backs of my books and will share them here as well, and expand on some of the research, timeline adjustments, or creative inspiration
Be sure to visit my website to see the latest inspiration from Pinterest and Instagram. And I'd love it if you followed me on any of your favorite sites or those you visit frequently.
Now to the new stuff! I haven't shared much about these books, but wanted to give you a sneak peek.
The Seduction of Laird Sinclair (book 1 in a new Scottish Historical Series/title TBD) The lairds of Scotland in late 1300's have a difficult time with the winsome, unabashed women who set out to win their hearts.
Mystic Maidens of Britain series - book 2 The Good Witch & The Warrior will feature Sawyer from book 1 Pendragon's Princess in the return to the Anglo-Saxon period.
Get ready for an exciting series - The Balladeer Society A collection of sexy, romantic, historical medieval books about charming bards who are famous, not for performing in the lord's court, but for their debauched carousing in the towns they visit. The Bards don't have an easy time of it in winning their loves.
In addition, I've started the Keepers of the Kingdom series which takes place right after William the Conqueror conquers Britain. In order to keep the kingdom he's fought for, he'll need help to secure its borders and who better than a group of knights, The Keepers of the Kingdom. These handsome, fearsome knights must win over the ladies whose lands they've captured, but can they capture the women's hearts. We shall see.
I cannot wait to share these wonderful tales with you and look forward to discussing the excerpts, story ideas, and inspiration. Please don't be shy and comment. I love interacting with readers and am one myself. I'll be posting exclusive giveaways here too, only for those who stop by. Be sure to follow. 💞
Happy Historical Reading,
Kara Griffin
