Is it true or only a legend? And what if she never meant to marry at all?<br /><br />The set contains the following books: <br /><br />The Ambitious Baronet<br /><br />1st book in the “Magic Locket” series: Alexandra Barlow is determined never to marry. She'd rather rescue children. Sir Robert Stamford has been sent to track down the very children she is protecting. It will not be easy to overcome the obstacles between them. But a magic locket may prove to be the key .<br /><br />The Widower’s Folly<br /><br />2nd book in the “Magic Locket” series: Theresa Barlow writes stories, magical stories for children. Lord Rivendale has a daughter who cannot speak and the only way to reach her seems to be through Miss Barlow’s books. Both are wary of love, but in trying to help the child Anna, Tessa and William discover they have much more in common than either would have thought. <br /><br />The Soldier’s Bride<br /><br />3rd book in the “Magic Locket” series: Lisbeth Barlow marries Lord Thomas Kepley just as he is about to return to war. He is reported drowned, but a year and a half later, he reappears. Together they must find a way to salvage their marriage even though he does not believe her child is his.<br /><br />You can find the boxset here:<br /><br /><a data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=http://itunes.apple.com/us/book/id1198021095&source=gmail&ust=1600782525046000&usg=AFQjCNEcrZuul5WbI15Cp-b-KxeWSgLVlA" href="http://itunes.apple.com/us/book/id1198021095" style="color: #656565;" target="_blank">iBooks</a> <a data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=http://amzn.to/2khrBzl&source=gmail&ust=1600782525046000&usg=AFQjCNHpMWdXrTF787e8F_G_FxiuuWeTEg" href="https://amzn.to/2FPczwX" style="color: #656565;" target="_blank">Kindle</a> <a data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=http://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/the-magic-locket-series-box-set-april-kihlstrom/1125527578?ean%3D2940157351397&source=gmail&ust=1600782525046000&usg=AFQjCNG-UcOYup_8bZ3zjIlVsgq8kGbqmw" href="http://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/the-magic-locket-series-box-set-april-kihlstrom/1125527578?ean=2940157351397" style="color: #656565;" target="_blank">Nook</a> <a data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://www.kobo.com/us/en/ebook/the-magic-locket-series-box-set&source=gmail&ust=1600782525046000&usg=AFQjCNGytAx5ZypVxW-2WuLLUX8Ty2E0MA" href="https://www.kobo.com/us/en/ebook/the-magic-locket-series-box-set" style="color: #656565;" target="_blank">Kobo</a></span><br /> </b></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "comic sans ms", "marker felt-thin", arial, sans-serif;"><b><br /></b></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "comic sans ms", "marker felt-thin", arial, sans-serif;"><b>Whether you join me at Lady Catherine's Salon or not this week, I want you to know you are in my thoughts and prayers and I wish for each of you happiness in equal or greater measure than any pain 2020 has brought you thus far.<br /><br />Warmest wishes always,<br />April Kihlstrom </b></span></div></td></tr></tbody></table><div class="blogger-post-footer">http://www.aprilkihlstrom.com

If you have the ebook already, hopefully you can just ask the vendor to update your copy and you will then have the new cover. With the print version, I'm not sure when they will be available with the new cover. It depends, I suppose, on whether or not they still have copies of the old version on hand. But I'm so thrilled with the print version that I'm going to post it here anyway, along with the links for the respective online bookstores. With luck, you might be able to request the new version. In any case, here is the new cover for AN HONORABLE ROGUE.<br />

Did I mention that if you already have the ebook you can get it with the new cover by asking for the update? At least that's true on Amazon. If you go to your list of books there and request the update, you should get it with the latest cover.<br />
<br />
Note: I've also included the Prologue for THE WICKED GROOM at the back of this book.<br />

<br />
<div style="color: #1d2129; margin-bottom: 6px;">
17 years ago today, I watched in horror, as we all did, as the towers came down. I have loved ones in NYC and worried for their safety. I mourned for all the lives lost. I cheered the courage of those who went in to help. I pondered what it would mean for our country--and the world. All around me I saw people rise to be their best. I also saw people begin to cling to whatever scrap of control they could--because it was so scary feeling helpless<span class="text_exposed_show" style="display: inline; font-family: inherit;">. People who are afraid do not behave well. All around me, I see people who still carry that fear--and desperately try to keep things the way it used to be. When they felt safe. But the world changes. Life cannot be controlled. We either go forward with hope and a determination to create the best possible world or we slide backwards into darkness. I wish for all of us the courage to choose hope. To choose kindness and love and building each other up, not tearing each other down. That would be the real victory over what happened 17 years ago.</span></div>

I have never been happy with some of the choices I made, in a misguided effort to write what I thought would please my editor so she would agree to publish the book.

It's one of my favorites and I hope you love it, too.<br />
<br />
<br />
Lady Theodosia wasn't ready to settle down in marriage. She was still looking for adventure—adventure she hoped to find helping her friend search for hidden treasure on Viscount Stanwood's estate. The last thing she was expecting to find was love amid the cobwebs and ruins and hidden spaces.<br />

<br />
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">First, an apology. A car accident this spring put me behind on a great many things. I am now trying to catch up but that's why you haven't heard from me in a while.<br /><br />Second, I know some of you much prefer print books. I've finally managed to make Harriet Tangles With The Earl available in print. I'll give the links below for Amazon and for Barnesandnoble.com. I've begun experimenting, you see, with Nook print option. I<em> think,</em> though I may be mistaken, that with the B&N option, you could go into your local Barnes & Noble store and have them order a copy for you. So here are the links for Harriet Tangles With The Earl.<br /><br /> (And yes, I will get to the free ebook giveaway in a moment!)</span><br />

<br />
Example: Two weeks ago I released a new book. Wonderful! Great joy on my part! A couple of days later I started to work on formatting the file for paperback and realized I'd left out the copyright notice on that and a previous book. So I hastily added the copyright page and reformatted the files for ebook and uploaded everywhere.<br />
<br />
Great, right? Except that yesterday I woke to a notice from Amazon that when I uploaded to Harriet Tangles With The Earl on Amazon, I apparently uploaded the wrong file! Even though I immediately replaced it with the correct file, the book was off sale for 24 hours and I can only hope that everyone who bought the book before that automatically got the corrected file from Amazon.<br />
<br />
I checked the files at other vendors and those are okay. Thank heavens!<br />
<br />
If you are someone who got the wrong file from Amazon and they did NOT send you the update with the correct file, here are the instructions to get that file:<br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana, sans-serif;">Go to Amazon, click on "My Account", then "Manage my devices and content"--which will show the books you've purchased. Next to the title of Harriet's book, is a box for "action". If you click on that, update the book should be an option. If none of this works, please let me know and I will see what I can do from this end to get Amazon to get you the update. My deepest apologies for the mix-up!</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Here is the cover of the book that was caught in the mix-up--in case you're wondering. </span></span><br />

To celebrate, I'm making Sophy's Story available as a free ebook for the month of October.<span style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px;"> </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">Sophy's Story is a great children's book, even if your loved one doesn't have Down Syndrome or other special needs and at the same time it was created so children and adults like my 39 yr old son, who does have Down syndrome, can and might very well WANT to read it themselves.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">There are other Sophy books and coloring books--if you're interested--and I have more about them on the Sophy Books page. For now, here's Sophy's Story with links to the major sites.</span><br />

That's because of a little girl who has come into my life--my grandchild. I've been just a tad busy enjoying the experience of becoming a grandmother. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
I've also been revising A SCANDALOUS BEQUEST, which was first published as a Traditional Regency by Signet in 1982 and was my 2nd Regency for Signet (Penguin/Putnam/Dutton/New American Library). It was written before the advent of the internet, which means there were lots of things it was difficult or impossible to research back then. I've had to make changes to the story based on what I now know was and wasn't possible back then.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I did more than that, however. A SCANDALOUS BEQUEST was written right after my daughter was born, when life was kind of crazy, and was, in addition, very much a product of its time. Well, times have changed and so, while trying to preserve the best of the original, I spent several months rewriting A SCANDALOUS BEQUEST to make it, I believe, a better book--especially for 2016. I hope all of you will appreciate those changes and also feel it makes the book better.<br />
<br />
I'm excited to be able to say that A SCANDALOUS BEQUEST is on pre-order this week and will be "live" and download on August 22, 2016. It's also available right now in paperback from Amazon.</div>

<span style="color: green;"><em><span style="font-family: "georgia" , serif;">Felicity Lyford hasn't had an easy time of it. That's why she leaps at a chance at a London Season—even if it is because of a rather scandalous bequest. But can she protect herself from two of the most notorious rakes in London—Sir Anthony and Lord Eastcott—and choose a husband based on her head instead of her heart? </span></em></span></div>

It was available only on Amazon for kindle. I always meant to revise and make it available more widely but until now I haven't had the time to do so but now it is available on the major sites and drastically revised. It's also available in print.<br />
<br />
Note: Rather than issuing a new edition, I replaced the previous file on Amazon. Current owners of the book should be able to simply request the update. At least I hope so!<br />
<br />
I should perhaps mention that it not only contains information about creative writing, writing reports and essays, etc. but also has a section on public speaking--because there are some simple tips that can make speaking easier and more compelling.<br />
<br />
Perhaps you're wondering why it says (And Adults). As much as we want to, sometimes we don't have time to wade through long books about writing or public speaking and the material is as applicable for adults as it is for kids.<br />
<br />
If you're interested, I hope you'll check it out. Here's the information:<br />

Now there are 3 Sophy coloring books!<br />
<br />
I've learned a lot and my keyboard has dents from my banging my forehead on it every time I got frustrated with the process, but the coloring books are finally here and available in print. I hope if you love dogs or if you have a loved one who loves dogs, is learning English, has a disability such as Down Syndrome (like my son) or autism or some other mental challenge, you will check them out.<br />

I've redone many of the covers of my Regencies romances. If you've seen the old covers, you'll see that I've retained enough that you'll recognize you've seen or read the book before.<br />
<br />
I've also uploaded reformatted versions of all my Regencies because I want readers to have the best reading experience possible with my books.<br />
<br />
And I've been working on a project dear to my heart. I've written before about my Sophy Books. (Sophy named after the heroine of Georgette Heyer's book, THE GRAND SOPHY.) As I started to work on the next Sophy book for my 39 yr old son who has Down Syndrome, I realized I wanted to try something new--an experiment.<br />
<br />
Experiments are fun and this one is teaching me a great deal. I took the photos and text from the original book, SOPHY'S STORY, and turned them into pages of a coloring book. If this works out, I'll be doing the same for SOPHY GOES TO DOGGY CAME and SOPHY GOES TO THE DOGGY DOCTOR.<br />
<br />
If you're interested, I hope you'll take a look.<br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
Laugh with Sophy as chases squirrels, gets in trouble for muddy paws or searches under the Christmas tree for presents. For dog lovers of all ages and capabilities, including those like the author's son who has Down syndrome.<br />
<br />
Note: This coloring book is companion to Sophy's Story, the book. It uses the text and photos from the original book but turned into pictures that can be colored.<br />
<br />
This is something of an experiment for me and I hope you will let me know what you think!<br />

Some of you know about my Sophy Books, designed for special needs readers like my son, who has Down Syndrome. This music video is from the All Together Now music group at the Katz JCC in Cherry Hill, NJ. I'm proud to say my son is in the video.<br />
<br />
This video is an example of why I've created the Sophy Books (Sophy's Story, Sophy Goes To Doggy Camp, Sophy Goes To The Doggy Doctor and soon Sophy Takes Care Of Mom)--because our special needs loved ones are capable of far more than we often realize and I want everyone to have books they love to read, with characters who feel what they sometimes feel.<br />
<br />
I'm also sharing this video because I'm so proud of my son and the others in this group!<br />
<br />
Here's also a picture of some pottery my son made for me in his art class at the Katz JCC.<br />

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: inherit;"> “<span style="font-size: small;">Through
the series of questions that April asks she makes each author delve
deeply into their character and story line. April's questions make
you think about how your character's history, social standing,
occupation, family position, and more impacts how they handle the
various situations we authors toss them into. At the end of April's
class you have a deep understanding of your characters that writing
the story will be a breeze. “--Ruth A Casie</span></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: inherit;">“<span style="font-size: small;">I
so enjoyed every minute of April's class. First, she hands out the
BEST lessons, they make you think and show you just how much insight
April brings to her class, on writing, on writers, and on LIFE! Then
she carefully answers all the questions online or privately and we
all learned from everyone else too! This class is really a
fantastic jump starter for any book, idea, premise you might be
struggling with. I was unable to write but two days of the
writing weeks and still got in over 10,000 words because the class
allowed me to get to some truths in my work. Hat's off to April
for providing the inspiration and know how, and finally for her
innate quality as a human study. If you are a writer - this is the
class YOU need!”--Cheryl Rae</span></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: inherit;">“I first
tried "Book in a Week" when I wanted to start a new novel
but was having trouble gathering ideas. The process really
jump-started my brain and my creativity and pretty soon the ideas
were flowing! Although I didn't finish the book that week, I
wrote more than I thought possible and went on to finish the book
more quickly than I ever had in the past. That book was not
only published, but nominated for a National Readers' Choice Award!
Since then I have taken the class several times and it has always
gotten me started with plenty of plot and character ideas; and
has helped me to get my novels well underway!”--Roni Denholtz</span></div>

But I wanted to be sure that you, my readers, got a chance to pre-order it now, if you'd like to do so.<br /><br />When I first sold this manuscript to Signet, in 1981, I was on the phone with the editor while I was in labor with my daughter, with contractions coming 5 minutes apart. Yes, the daughter who is about to have a baby girl, herself. That's how much I cared about this book. <br /><br />I hope, as I always do, that you will love the story and characters as much as I do. See below for details on how and where you can pre-order the e-book.<br /><br />For those of you who prefer print, I haven't forgotten you! It will also shortly be available from a variety of online sites in print and you can order it now on Amazon. I'll put the link for the paperback with the others below. <br /><br />Wishing you all the best--now and always!<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; line-height: normal;">

FREE EBOOK FOR OCTOBER</h3>
Because it's both Literacy and Down Syndrome Awareness Month in October, I'm making the e-book version of Sophy Goes To Doggy Camp free wherever I can--for the month of October only.<br />
<br />
Most of my published books have been romance novels but a few years I got so frustrated trying to find books for my (now 38 yr old) son (who has Down Syndrome) to read that I decided to start creating books for him based on how I KNOW he processes pictures, language and emotions. Sophy Goes To Doggy Camp is the 2nd in the series of Sophy Books I am creating. In this book,<span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"> Sophy has to go to doggy camp (respite care) when her mom goes on a trip.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 14pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;"><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"></span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 14pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;"><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">As with all the Sophy books, SGTDC is designed to appeal to all young children and anyone who loves dogs as well as to be accessible to special needs individuals like my son.<o:p></o:p></span></span><br />
