Vintage offer

If you have a kindle and you're interested in collecting   my older titles - the M&B  Vintage edition of The Groom's Revenge  is currently available at the special price  of just £1.80 on Amazon UK right now.   (And it seems to be $2.76 on Amazon.com but that's not totally clear)

Not my most favourite cover! But that doesn't matter so much on a  kindle does it?

Old books . . . New editions

One of the best things about writing for Harlequin Mills & Boon is the way that the books are published in so many different formats and countries all  over the world.  Every now and then a bundle of new foreign editions appears in the post and I have fun finding out which books they are and where they've been reprinted this time.

I've  had a flurry of these books lately and it's been interesting to see which 'old favourites' have turned up this time.

One is a reprint of a reprint  now appearing as a 'Select'  title in Japan. The Twelve Month Mistress always had one of my favourite covers and now I think it looks really powerful and  atmospheric in this new edition.

Another reprint of an older book appears in a French edition where I'm thrilled to be published together with my lovely friend Trish Morey - who just received her silver pin for her 25th title  -   In this edition  Trish's Secrets of Castillo Del Arco  has my  The Married Mistress included as a free promotional title - a great bargain. And Congratulations Trish on that 'silver' book!


In parcels of books arriving last week, I also  had an Italian edition of The Antonakos Marriage,   The Return of The Stranger in Greek, Spanish, Portugese, and  Hebrew. And The Devil and Miss Jones is out in France this month too.

It's been intriguing to see these foreign language editions appearing on Kindle - and so showing up on my listing on Amazon, where I can now spot German, French, Spanish, Italian, Portugese editons alongside the UK ones.  When I think back to how when I was first published, the books tended to appear on a shelf in a UK bookshop for one month and that was the only time I ever saw them on sale, this is such a great thrill to see  all these editions appearing now.

And then there are the older books, now being reproduced in the Kindle format -  after browsing on Amazon, I discovered that The Sicilian's Red-Hot Revenge has been brought out in this format last month -  sadly, without the gorgeous sexy cover  of the original. 

And it's great to see that in the top 100  Mills & Boon titles on sale on Amazon today, there  are four 'elderly' Kate Walker titles  listed there - The Greek Tycoon's Unwilling Wife (in Mediterranean  Tycoons)  Kept For Her Baby, The Duke's Secret Wife  and, of course The Sicilian's Red-Hot Revenge. It's great to see them all enjoyuing a new lease of life  as Kindle books.

And who knows what today's post might bring!

What oldies but goldies romance books would you love to see reappearing on Kindle?

Good News About the 12 Point Guide

A while ago I mentioned that I was hoping to be able to make an exciting announcement about the newest edition of  the 12 Point Guide to Writng Romance.  I knew things were being planned, but I couldn't let you know until they were finalised.

Now I can. I just had a message from my publishers to let me that from today the 12 Point Guide To Writing Romance is  now available on Kindle.

You can find the Kindle edition on Amazon.co.uk  - at a bargain price of £7.04 - on Amazon.com   and Amazon.de in Germany for 7,96 euro   .
I don't yet know what the price on Amazon.com will be but I'm sure they'll post that up very soon.

For over a year now I've been getting enquiries about whether the 12 Point Guide will be brought out as an ebook - and I've  wanted to be able to say yes. Now at last I can at least say a partial yes.  And hopefully this will make it a lot easier for some of you to get your hands on a copy.

Other ebook reader owners  - watch this space and I'll hope to have good news for you soon.

PS Just discobvered that the Amazon.com price is listed as $11.49
