Summing Up 2022

Posted on by under Audio Editions, Contemporary Romance, Flatiron Five Fitness, Flatiron Five Tattoo, Kickstarter, Paranormal Romance, Translations

2022 was a big year in some ways and a teeny one in others.

I had Covid in January and that certainly influenced results. I had to step back and rethink my working schedule, thanks to that illness and its effects. I chose to concentrate on my historical romances instead of writing and publishing in three subgenres, and I enrolled a lot of work in Kindle Unlimited.

Deborah Cooke's new releases 2022

New Releases:

One exciting accomplishment in 2022 was finishing up my Flatiron Five Fitness series with book #10, When Annika Met Thom. This was supposed to be a short story, or maybe a novella, but these two weren’t having any of that. I’m really happy with how their story came out and how it wrapped up the series.

I had no new releases in PNR this year. 😦 We did, though, begin to produce the Dragonfire Novels in A.I. narrated audiobooks.

I also published bundles in the F5F series, three of them, as well as a bundle of Flatiron Five Tattoo in both ebook and print.

Translations:

It was a busy year for translations for me with eleven new translations published. “Claire” had an additional 32, giving me a total of 43 translations published in 2022. That’s my busiest year yet!

New Translations of Deborah Cooke books published in 2022

You can find these books under the Translations tab, by language: Português, Italiano, and Español. I have new contracts underway to translate the Dragonfire Novels into both French and Portuguese, so that’s something to look forward to in 2023.

Administrivia:

By the fall, I knew that KU wasn’t working for me, so I republished everything at all portals over several months. I also changed newsletter services in 2022 and I updated all of my ebook interiors. (Wow. There are a lot of them.) My PNR came to live on this website, instead of having a site of its own. There was a lot of work behind the scenes this year and I’m glad it’s done. I also have my first ever Kickstarter campaign running right now, which is an exciting new adventure.

Things were even busier on Claire’s side of my office, but I’ll sum that up on her blog.

2023 is going to be all about new stories. I can’t wait.

Kiss of Fate

One foretold love deserves a second chance…

Haunted by dreams of a lover who takes the form of a mythical dragon, Eileen Grosvenor searches for the truth. She never expects to find a real dragon shape shifter, let alone one who awakens her passion and ignites memories of her own forgotten past.

Erik Sorensson is focused on leading the Pyr to triumph over the Slayers, even if it costs him his life. When an ancient relic that can turn the tide of the battle reveals itself, Erik knows he has to retrieve it from Eileen’s possession. But when he tries to do so, he’s shocked by an incredible firestorm that compels him to confront the truth about Eileen’s identity. Her presence reminds him of mistakes he’s determined not to repeat, and Erik is forced to make a choice: duty or love.

Only by unlocking the secrets of the past can Erik and Eileen fulfill the final prophecy of the Pyr. Can they face their deepest fears and claim their destined love in time to defeat the Slayers?

Kiss of Fire, book one of the Dragonfire Novels series of paranormal romances by Deborah Cooke, AI-narrated audiobook edition

Kiss of Fire

One kiss can change the course of destiny…

When ace accountant Sara Keegan decides to settle down and run her quirky aunt’s New Age bookstore, she’s not looking for adventure. She doesn’t believe in fate or the magic of tarot cards, but when she’s saved from a vicious attack by a man who has the ability to turn into a fire-breathing dragon, she questions whether she’s losing her mind – or about to lose her heart.

Self-reliant loner Quinn Tyrrell has long been distrustful of his fellow Pyr. When he feels the firestorm that signals his destined mate, he’s determined to protect and possess Sara, regardless of the cost. Then Sara’s true destiny is revealed and Quinn realizes he must risk everything – even Sara’s love – to fulfill their entwined fates.

More Dragonfire Audio

Posted on by under Audio Editions, Dragonfire, Paranormal Romance

We’re getting back on track with the audio editions of the Dragonfire Novels! These are AI narrations and the first two books—Kiss of Fire and Kiss of Fury—are currently available. The mister proofs these editions like human-narrated audio by listening to the whole thing and making corrections, so they take a bit of time to produce. Right now, he’s listening to Kiss of Fate, which will be available in September.

The cool thing about these narrations is that the production cost is lower and the audiobooks can be priced very similarly to the ebooks. Remember that the ebooks of Dragonfire come out of KDP Select at the end of November and will be republished at other portals then.

We’ll then continue the series with Winter Kiss in October, Whisper Kiss in November and Darkfire Kiss in December. (We’ll catch up with Harmonia’s Kiss along with the Dragon Legion Novellas.) On this schedule, the whole series should be available by June.

I’ve put the first six audio covers in a slideshow here because I like them 🙂 . You can find buy links for the audiobooks on the Dragonfire Audio page.
