Lady Cathy: Ahoy, and thank you for having me aboard, Lady Katherine!
For those of you who don’t know me, I write historical and contemporary romance. Today I’ll be talking about one of my favorite characters, pirate captain Andre Dubois, and giving you five reasons why you’ll fall in love with him in my Christmas novella entitled The Pirate Bride’s Holiday Masquerade, coming from Literary Wanderlust publishers on Oct. 1st. You first meet him in my novel The Pirate’s Bride, when he is forced to marry Sophie Bellard, a spitfire with whom he eventually falls in love. He’s an extreme Alpha male of whom readers, and Sophie, can’t seem to get enough. Read on for a few reasons you might want him for yourself. Continue reading
The story began when Caroline Matilda of Great Britain, the youngest child of Frederick, Prince of Wales, and Princess Augusta of Saxe-Gotha, became betrothed to her cousin, King Christian VII of Denmark. Caroline had been raised in seclusion, a world away from the formal manners and customs of the court and she had little interest in royal life, preferring to devote herself to nature and equestrian pursuits.
Caroline Matilda’s quiet days ended at the age of 15 when the very reluctant princess traveled to Copenhagen to become Christian’s wife. Two years her senior and less than twelve months into his reign, Christian already enjoyed an eccentric reputation, though the full extent of his mental illness had yet to show itself. They were married at the Christiansborg Palace on 9 November 1766, and Caroline already found herself in a situation for which she was ill-prepared.

Lady Chloe Walsingham is an enthusiastic gothic romance reader and hopeless romantic focused solely on finding her perfect hero. She also happens to have a penchant for getting into trouble. So when the man she loves disappears after a scandalous duel, she decides to follow him to the ends of the Earth. To do so, however, Chloe must evade her brother, an infamous revenue man, and board a ship bound for Penzance. And nothing in her beloved books can prepare her for the harsh realities of wreckers who ply the coast.
It’s time to celebrate BIG, me hearties! 
When I started writing my Nelson’s Tea Series many years ago, I never imagined how these characters would take hold of my imagination and become my heartfelt friends. Along with Garrick, I suffered while writing his book. I went through periods of time when I couldn’t write, fearing for the end of my series just as much as Garrick was haunted by his captivity in Spain. He’s such a tortured soul. And because of all that he’s endured through the books, he needed a heroine strong enough to reach deep into his soul and save him. And so it is that Mercedes’s name did not come by accident. When I discovered that Mercy was the nickname for Mercedes during the Regency period, my heroine was born. I knew it would take a great deal of mercy to heal this broken man.
Sayin’ goodbye to those you love is never easy, is it? How odd it is that authors feel so connected to their characters, as if they were flesh and blood. In
