Pre-ordering is incredibly important for a book, especially a sequel, as it encourages stores to order stock! And regardless of whether or not you order a copy of your own, you can ask your local library to add it to their collection.
Rogue Charmers exists because when I was writing A Widow’s Charm and I introduced Han and Issie to each other, they had so much chemistry that they immediately developed main character energy and tried to run away with the story. I realized that I could not fit their romance in the middle of Hilde and Elmwood’s book, so I promised them that if they behaved, I would give them their own adventure, full of horses, crime, and smooching. Rogue Charmers is the story that resulted.
When people ask me if Rogue Charmers is like A Widow’s Charm, I say that it’s the Twelfth Night to AWC’s Comedy of Errors. It’s a little more serious, because Han is a serious person, and lot angrier about the wealthy abusing power, because I wrote most of it in early 2025, and considerably more romantic, because highwaymen are hot. It’s neurodivergent and queer and features a trick horse named Lord Tom, a high speed-carriage chase, an escape from the gallows, a masquerade ball, and more questionable legal antics from everyone’s favorite lawyer.
Rogue Charmers required a real levelling-up in terms of my writing skills, and I’m so proud of it. I hope you’ll love it as much as I do.
I’ll close this letter with some incredibly kind words of praise from authors I admire very deeply.
Unil next time, wishing you the best books and the most berry-full brambles,
Caitlyn
