Hello my dear readers
I’m so happy to finally bring you this blog post.
Since the last time I added a #BAS post, the series name changed. Books 1, 2 and 3 became available on Amazon. They will also soon become available everywhere else books are sold. AND!!!
Drumroll please…
My author shop came online! I’m so happy about this, you have no idea.
Back to the post at hand.
I’m very happy to introduce you to Book 4 in my The Unknown Series (previously Cape of Good Hope Series).
What is my #BAS posts?
I make my pre-edited books available to my readers here for free.
Each story has been written, rewritten and proofread but NOT professionally edited. This is my in-between step while I’m working with my editor. It allows me to get your feedback and opinions. Without my readers I can’t be a writer, so please don’t hold back!
Back to this new series of #BAS.
This book is titled Marcus & Alexandra.
The idea for the story came from the first ‘adult’ book I read when I burned through our town library.
This is very much a hidden gender or mistaken gender trope story.
Alexandra is my heroine and she becomes part of a transaction with a pirate. She does not take one for the team. She hides her gender and escapes onto a merchant ship. The ship set sail from the Fair Cape to Europe during the 1820’s.
Marcus is the hero in this story. He’s made his appearance in Jack & Jool and Zara & William. After tragedy in his life, he’s taking to the sea again.
You’ll encounter a setting larger than life, colorful side characters and then the notorious antagonist in this story.
Anyways, like the previous books in this series, this book will become available chapter by chapter every Friday, 20:00, CAT / GMT+2)
Here’s a version of the description.
After nearly a decade of education in England, William Tredoux returns home to find not just a family estate. He discovers a familiar servant girl who has transformed into a breathtaking young woman named Zara. Her presence ignites memories of their childhood, yet the layers of mystery surrounding her past remain untouched. Zara entered the Tredoux household under enigmatic circumstances. She has been a devoted member of the family ever since. She yearns for a life beyond the confines of servitude.
When William reveals the truth about Zara’s heritage, their worlds collide in a whirlwind of emotions and opportunities. Suddenly, Zara is thrust into a life of privilege. She had only glimpsed this from afar. She leaves behind the shackles of her past. However, this change does not come without its trials. Those who have long looked down on Zara are unhappy with her elevation and conspire to undermine her newfound happiness. As love blossoms amidst adversity, Zara must navigate the treacherous waters of societal expectations and personal discovery. Will she rise to claim her rightful place, or will the shadows of her past threaten to tear them apart? Join Zara and William on a transformative journey filled with love, identity, and the courage to defy the odds.
