My Online Store is Open Again

Posted on March 9, 2026 by Deborah Cooke

My online store, Hazel & Honeysuckle Press, is open again. Let’s throw confetti!

There’s still work to be done. Right now, there are print book listings (and the shipping calculator WORKS! More confetti please!) and there are pages for pre-orders for both Pages & Pleasures in April and Love & Romance in Toronto in May. I’ve added some specials to those pages, although you can pre-order any book in the store for pick-up at those shows.

There is also a pre-order for Kiss of Enchantment in its special hardcover edition, which will ship in June.

I still have to add the Dragonfire Novels, in both print and ebook. And I still have to create the delivery links with BookFunnel for ebooks and audiobooks. I’ll be working on that this week.

As I work my way through that job, I’ll be updating the links here on the site to the store. The new links will be purple instead of green – the green links will probably go 404 in the meantime.

But you can hop over to the store and browse.

Moving my Online Store

Posted on March 4, 2026 by Deborah Cooke

My store is on the move, from WooCommerce back to Shopify.

For the moment, neither version is visible as the domain is being transferred. Once that’s done, I’ll need to rebuild all the links here on the site to the new store. The book delivery links at BookFunnel will have to be updated, too.

The new links will be purple, like this:

The old ones, which no longer work, were green.

The main reason for the change is that I could not get the shipping calculator to work on WooCommerce. It worked right away on Shopify. There are other things, but that was the big one.

I have most of the books loaded at Shopify, and the print ones are ready to be displayed (and shipped). Once the domain transfers, I’ll make the new store public, even as I work on rebuilding the ebook delivery links.

I’ll keep you updated on my progress!

New Covers for Ravensmuir Series

Posted on March 3, 2026 by Deborah Cooke

I’ve started the process of updating the covers for the four series set in my Ravensmuir world. I’ve been thinking about this for a while, and Dar Albert – as usual – is doing a brilliant job of bringing vague ideas to life. Here’s a peek at the new Rogues of Ravensmuir covers, although they may still be tweaked.

The Rogue, book one of the Rogues of Ravensmuir series of medieval romances by Claire Delacroix

The Scoundrel, book two of the Rogues of Ravensmuir series of medieval romances by Claire Delacroix

The Warrior, book three of the Rogues of Ravensmuir series of medieval romances by Claire Delacroix

All fourteen books set in the world of Ravensmuir are getting new covers, and new illustrations of the couples. Dar Albert is the designer. They will all be available in ebook, trade paperback (with duplexed cover) and jacketed hardcover. I’ll give you some sneak peeks as we finalize the new covers.

As has become routine, I’ll launch these at Kickstarter first, probably in August, in ebook, trade paperback and hard cover (with dust jacket). The new editions will be available at retailers in 2027.

The current print editions are being phased out at retailers. You can still order them from me at my online bookstore, Hazel & Honeysuckle Press, if you have any gaps in your collection.

Here’s the landing page for the Kickstarter campaign, so you can follow it to be notified at launch.

A Most Inconvenient Earl is 99cents

Posted on March 2, 2026 by Deborah Cooke

For the month of March, A Most Inconvenient Earl, book four of the Brides of North Barrows series of Regency romances, is just 99 pennies!

A Most Inconvenient Earl, book four of the Brides of North Barrows series of Regency romances by Claire Delacroix, is just 99cents.

Eurydice Goodenham is convinced that a marriage of convenience with the notorious Sebastian Montgomery, Earl of Rockmorton, would be ideal: in exchange for one child, she can retreat to the library of his country house to write, while he continues his scandalous life in London. But when she finds herself falling in love with her unpredictable, mischievous and secretly honorable husband, does she have any hope of claiming his heart?

Sebastian is bored with the world’s amusements, until his friend’s ward makes a startling proposal. He can’t help but challenge Eurydice’s expectations in return. A wild escape to Gretna Green convinces him that his unexpected bride is perfect for him—except that Eurydice doesn’t believe in love. Can Sebastian win this bluestocking’s reluctant heart in time to save a Christmas—and a marriage—going awry?
