Today I received my cover for my upcoming release at New Concepts Publishing. If you haven’t already guessed from the cover or the title, A Tournament Knight is a historical romance. It takes place in 12th century England. The heroine, Jacqueline, disguises herself as her twin brother after their father mortally wounds him during a tournament. Devasted by her brother’s death Jacqueline is determined to face her father in the list. With the help of an older knight who serves her mother, Jacqueline takes up arms with a vengence. Terric is a knight who earns his way by following the tournament circut. After realizing who Jacqueline truly is, Terric takes over her instruction in arms and soon loses his heart to her.
A Tournament Knight will be released sometime this November. Now that I have the cover, which I absolutely love, I’m starting to get really excited about seeing this one come out. I’ll post a blurb below.
Blurb:
Jacqueline Montacute’s twin brother is killed in a joust. He has been struck down by their scheming father who has no love for his family. To seek revenge Jacqueline must pose as a knight in her brother’s stead. Along the way to reaching her goal, she finds love in the arms of a tournament knight, Sir Terric Aubrey. But in exacting her revenge she puts their love to a test that could very well end in Terric’s death.

Hey…:O That sounds way interesting! I’ve always harbored a secret penchant for cross-dressing girls who could kick ass while doing so. ^^ I’d love to read this when it gets released!

Thanks, Fionn. I love girls like that too, as you can tell. My very first book is a historical with the heroine basically the same. I have that one sitting at Ellora’s Cave since the beginning of July, ugh ha ha.
