I have been happily self-publishing for nearly five years, writing at my own pace. So, when I was approached by the owner of Dragonblade Publishing, I gave it a lot of thought.
I am in my early sixties now, and I'm wondering how much longer I'll be doing this writing thing. So why not have one last kick at the can? I submitted a proposal, and it has been accepted.
My teacher husband is retired, and I like writing at my leisure. Regardless, I signed on the dotted line. Having contracts and deadlines again makes me 😬, but I'll give it a go. I just turned in book 1 and am already well into book 2.
Here is the announcement at Publisher's Marketplace.
The Duke's Bastards is a spinoff of The Rakes of St. Regent's Park series. If you read Book 5, The Not So Perfect Duke, I springboard from that subplot about the late Duke's illegitimate children. The hero in Book 1 appeared in Books 5 and 6 of The Rakes. The hero of Book 3? He was the small boy who appeared in The Vicar's Frozen Heart. (The Hornsby Brothers #2)
THE DUKE'S BASTARDS
Three men, the illegitimate offspring of a notorious
duke, band together to form a secret assemblage. Their mission? To right the
wrong of the late Chellenham’s loathsome legacy, to try and find some of the
now adults sired by the dead duke and offer assistance where and when they can.
They call themselves The Duke’s Bastards.
So, when will these books be released?
Book 1: The Detective and the Baroness January 3, 2025 *
Book 2: The Chef and the Countess April 4, 2025
Book 3: The Doctor and the Duchess July 8, 2025
*release dates are subject to change

Off to write! Cheers!
