USA Today Bestselling author Deborah Cooke writes paranormal romance and contemporary romance; she also writes medieval romance as New York Times bestselling author Claire Delacroix.
My paranormal romance, Dragon’s Mate, book four of the DragonFate series, is now available in a Spanish edition! This translator is now working on the Dragonfire novels since she’s caught up to me in DragonFate. 🙂
Su beso podría destrozar reinos… El dragón y herrero artesano Hadrian está determinado a fortalecer a sus compañeros guerreros Pyr para la batalla contra las hadas al forjar unas zarpas de acero para ellos. No será seducido por la sensual promesa de una tormenta de fuego que tiene que ser un hechizo (incluso si es para ayudar a una hermosa guerrera a escapar de las garras de la Reina Oscura).
Rania es una doncella cisne y una asesina de las hadas que ha hecho un trato con la Reina Oscura para romper la maldición que ha caído sobre sus hermanos. Todo lo que debe hacer es matar a Hadrian, pero este dragón no morirá fácilmente. Es más que vitalidad de dragón lo que lo ayuda a sobrevivir a su beso mortal, pero Rania se niega a rendirse a su poderoso toque a cualquier precio cuando hay tanto en juego.
Pero la traición de la Reina Oscura empuja a Rania a aliarse con aquel dragón lleno de vitalidad en un esfuerzo de última hora para salvar a sus hermanos y a sí misma. ¿Podrá Hadrian revelar los dolorosos secretos del pasado de Rania para darles un futuro? ¿Podrá Rania ayudar a Hadrian darse cuenta de que el poder de su propio legado es derrotar a las hadas? Cuando las barreras entre reinos son destruídas, ¿puede el amor superar los obstáculos entre parejas destinadas… y crear un nuevo mundo para su futuro hijo?

As previously mentioned, my paranormal romances are moving into KDP Select this spring, which means they’ll be exclusive to Amazon and you’ll be able to read them free if you have a Kindle Unlimited subscription. I’m making the move in phases, by series, since there are so many books.
The Prometheus Project and the Dragon Diaries are now enrolled in Kindle Unlimited. I’ve added a suite of review quotes to the pages for Fallen, Guardian and Rebel—Carol Malcolm’s reviews at Bitten by Books are detailed and give a good idea what to expect from this series.
The Dragons of Incendium books have been unpublished at the aggregators. It takes a while for those files to come down, so I’ll remove them from the other portals in a week or two, then enroll them in KDP Select. I’ll let you know when they’re there.
The boxed set, Dragons First, also came down from the aggregators, since Wyvern’s Mate is included in that bundle. It won’t go into KU though until all three included books are enrolled there.
In May, all the Dragonfire Novels will be moving to KU, too.
Compiling these monthly posts is becoming addictive! It really gives me a sense of accomplishment. Let’s take a look at what was completed in December.
New Release
This month, as is so often the cast at the end of the year, I published two new boxed sets: Flatiron Five Fitness Boxed Set 1 and Dragons First, a bundle of three first-in-series dragon shifter romances.
Boxed sets are a good way to save money on ebooks – FF1, for example, is priced at $9.99US, while the individual books are $5.99US each. Just One Fake Date is sometimes free, but even so, the bundle is a better deal than buying the books individually. Dragons First similarly is a better deal than buying all three books—it’s 99cents right now, so even if you picked up Kiss of Fire free, it’s a good deal. Better yet, Dragons First has discount codes after each book to save when you continue the series at some portals. (Nook, KOBO, GooglePlay and Smashwords). These codes are comparatively new and I’m curious to see how many of you like them. There’s more detail in this post on my Dragonfire website—plus I got to add a password-protected area there called The Lair. 🙂
One other extremely cool thing happened this month: I regained all of the rights for my Dragon Diaries paranormal YA series and was able to publish my editions in all markets. That was the last of the rights to revert from previous publishers, and it felt really good to have everything back. I’ve gotten used to having the control over my work. 🙂
Pre-Orders
For a while, I’d sworn off pre-orders but have been making up for that this fall. There are three pre-orders for upcoming contemporary romances: Aidan’s book, Just A Small Town Romance, which is book one of my upcoming contemporary romance series, the Heroes of Harte’s Harbor; When Annika Met Thom is the 10th and (at this point) final romance in the Flatiron Five Fitness series, coming in April; The Flatiron Five Fitness Boxed Set 1 is the first series bundle and will publish in December. I’ve also got the pre-order up for The Flatiron Five Fitness Boxed Set 2, coming in June. The third bundle will publish next December. You can find the links for all of them on the F5F Boxed Set page.
In March, the fourth and final book in the Brides of North Barrows series of Regency romance novellas, A Most Inconvenient Earl, will be published. There’s an upcoming bundle, the Brides of North BarrowsBoxed Set, which will publish in August in ebook and trade paperback, too. This one was put together early because I saw this cover art and just fell in love. It’s perfect for Sophia and Lucien, who earn their HEA at Samhain. Don’t forget there’s a family tree for North Barrows that you can download free from the Delacroix site.

The Brides of North Barrows
As for my dragons, the next DragonFate paranormal romance, Dragon’s Wolf, is up for pre-order. It will be pubilshed in May.

Translations
As seems to be the norm now, I had a number new translations published in December. Let’s have a look at a summary:
In Spanish, my one translation teams is continuing with Flatiron Five Fitness and The True Love Brides—in December, I published Just Home for the Holidays and The Frost Maiden’s Kiss in Spanish editions. I also published Dragon’s Heart in Spanish.

Also this month, Just One Fake Date was published in a Portuguese edition for Brazil. There were a couple more translations that were pushed off to January, which is fine.
Phew! Next I’ll do a round-up of the year. That should be quite a post!
Today, Hunter and Chloe’s book (and the bonus epilogue) are available in Spanish!
Chloe tiene planes… El manejo de las finanzas en Flatiron 5 Fitness West está haciendo realidad su objetivo de independencia financiera. Regresar a Nueva York para Navidad debería ser una rutina, pero su madre comienza a buscar pareja, y Chloe necesita un acompañante. Cuando Hunter se ofrece como voluntario, Chloe decide que él es la elección perfecta: nunca se involucrará emocionalmente con un hombre que no se preocupe por el mañana. No duele que sea sexy o que bese como si él lo hubiera inventado, pero cuando Chloe descubre que Hunter odia la Navidad, ella necesita saber por qué. ¿Cuánto hará ella para descubrir sus secretos? ¿Y cómo evitará enamorarse una vez que lo haga?
Hunter vive en el momento… Él ha aprendido por las malas que el mañana nunca llegará y está decidido a hacer que cada día cuente. El problema es la Navidad: necesita una gran distracción para mantener a raya sus recuerdos. Una cita falsa para un elegante evento de caridad con su hermosa compañera de trabajo, Chloe, definitivamente está fuera de lo común para él, pero a Hunter le encantan los desafíos. ¿Qué podría ser mejor que romper cada una de las reglas de Chloe? Todo es divertido hasta que Chloe decide ayudar a Hunter a dejar el pasado atrás; cuando ella exige más que una aventura, ¿podrá Hunter aprender a creer en el futuro de nuevo?

November was another busy month. I’ve given up thinking that things are ever going to slow down! Let’s take a look at what was completed.
New Release
Just the Wrong Twin, Sonia and Nate’s book, was published this month. Yay! I’m glad to have this one out in the world – and to see such wonderful reviews for it, too.
This means the plot bunnies are loose and I’m scribbling story ideas all over the place. I’ll tell you more about those as they come to fruition. For the moment, there are pre-orders for what’s in the works.
Pre-Orders
There are three pre-orders for upcoming contemporary romances: Aidan’s book, Just A Small Town Romance, which is book one of my upcoming contemporary romance series, the Heroes of Harte’s Harbor; When Annika Met Thom is the 10th and (at this point) final romance in the Flatiron Five Fitness series, coming in April; The Flatiron Five Fitness Boxed Set 1 is the first series bundle and will publish in December.
