Name: Katherine Bone
Age: Old enough to drink rum and carouse with Captain Jack himself in Tortuga! 😉
Where are you from:
As an Army brat, I lived all over the world, including Germany, Japan and back to Germany again as a teenager. As an Army wife, I lived in Italy and Germany, including all over the US. There is something FANtastical about walking along castle ramparts, treading the very ground where the Renaissance took place. I felt the connection even as a young 12 year old standing in Heidelberg Castle.
Fiona: Tell us your latest news?
I’d love to tell you about my latest release, the 2nd novella in my Nelson’s Tea Series, My Lady Rogue (March 2015)
Everything Simon and Gillian have done has led to this moment… Will it be too late?
Baroness Gillian Chauncey thought she’d seen everything during her years of devotion to England. But as war escalates and political bonds are severed, a devastating betrayal forces Gillian to make a life or death decision to save the man she loves.
Lord Simon Danbury’s loyalty to the crown has never been questioned — until now. As death’s darkening veil cascades over London, a hostile mole inside Nelson’s Tea tries to assassinate him. Surrounded by the greatest spies in England, only one thing stands to defeat him — losing the one woman who has made life worth living.
Fiona: When and why did you begin writing?
I think I always had the bug to write because I can remember writing poetry at 12 years old. I was lucky enough to have one of my Haikus published in my Junior High Yearbook. Woot! I’ll never forget that feeling! I continued to write poetry until the idea I could write my own romance hit in 1992 when we got our 1st computer. Suddenly research material was more easily accessible. With four children, I no longer had to go to the Library to hunt up information, though I often did. The wide spectrum online allowed me to visit battlefields and more. (Historical romance has always been my passion.) I cut my teeth on authors like Kathleen E. Woodiwiss, Julie Garwood, Johanna Lindsey, Rosemary Rogers and Elizabeth Lowell, as well as Louis L’Amour. And the most wonderful thing of all? My husband supported me and took me on trips to the places I was writing about: the Black Hills, Fort Laramie, WY, Winchester, VA, and the Great Plains.
Fiona: When did you first consider yourself a writer?
This is a great question, Lady Fiona! One that’s hard to answer because so many writers are brainwashed into thinking that until one of their books get published, they are not really writers. The reverse is true. If you are writing, you’re a writer. It makes no difference whether you are published or not. Authors ARR. (Pirate!)
Fiona: What inspired you to write your first book?
Wow! This is a loaded question. I’ll give it my best shot. LOL! (Pun intended.) You see, my first book was a Native American Post Civil-War Western. As a Texan, I’d always been enamored with the Great Plains. I spent various times of my youth in Oklahoma and Texas so that part of the US and the history played out there was very close to my heart. Fort Sill, Ok, saw the golden age of Quanah Parker, son of a captive white woman who rose to be a great chief. Geronimo was imprisoned there for many years. I was living in a rich historical place brought to life by my FABulous HS History teacher. When Dances With Wolves hit theaters, my focus turned to the Black Hills and the glorious ill-fated Sioux. I devoured Native American history for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, ruminating on the lives of Crazy Horse, Sitting Bull and Red Cloud, proud, honorable men fighting to keep their way of life. Out of 10 years of research, my book Flame Rising was born. But during this time, I was also raising four children with a military husband gone for various lengths of time, which kept me from writing consistently. In the interim, my children grew up and I turned my attention to my first love, pirates and the men of Nelson’s Tea, shifting gears from the Great Plains to the English Channel, of all places.
Fiona: Do you have a specific writing style?
By style, if you mean ‘process’, I do. I edit as I go, which makes writing the book slower but in the end, I have a more finished product. I’m a tactile, visual person so I make a storyboard for each of my books, complete with character inspiration photos, a graph with chapter blocks, Goal, Motivation, Conflict, the name of my book and characters. I also create a ‘book bible’ that I carry around with me everywhere I go. This book is where I keep my research, extra photos, plot ideas and more and it always comes first in the writing process. I can’t explain why I do all this but it works for me. My books never come to life in my head until I’ve got my book bible and that storyboard is made. Once I’ve added post-it notes in each chapter block indicating vague plot ideas, I’m ready to write. I know my beginning and end of the book but very little about the middle. I don’t really learn more until my characters talk to me while I’m writing. At that point, I can flesh things out as I go. I’m not a plotter or a panster. I’m a hybrid plantster. LOL!!!
Fiona: How did you come up with the title?
Duke by Day, Rogue by Night, the 1st book in my Nelson’s Tea Series was initially titled Pirate by Night and it sat at HQN Mills & Boon for 2 years. Given my hero’s penchant for disguising himself, and the fact that he was a duke’s son, soon to be a duke himself, I changed the title because I thought it reflected more of Percy’s character. During the last year the book sat at HQN, I’d also extended the book from 75,000 words per HQN’s guidelines to 90,000 words in hopes of selling it to another publishing house. That tactic worked! Woot! 😉
Fiona: Is there a message in your novel that you want readers to grasp?
Theme is important, isn’t it? Many writers don’t realize they add it in and do it on a subliminal level. If there’s one thing I want my readers to take away from my books, it’s this: No matter what happens in your life, no matter what fate throws in your path, there is always hope. HEAs (Happily Ever Afters) are hARRd work. Everyone has to put in the time to find their way out of darkness.
Fiona: How much of the book is realistic?
As a historical romance author, I do my best to include as much factual research as possible. Of course, as anyone can point out, errors slip through. On one hand, I can include every single historically correct phrase or description or on the other, I can use simpler modern terminology to make the story read smoother, faster, garnering more impact on the relationships between the two characters, instead of being bogged down on facts. (Make no mistake. I’m not talking about using words that hadn’t been used in that time period. That’s bad form.) For instance, Author Rachel Van Dyken did a marvelous job exemplifying this in her historical romances. Historical authors straddle a fine line.
In my Nelson’s Tea Series, I’ve concocted a fictional group serving under a factual figure. I’ve done extensive research on Admiral Nelson. While he was a diverse and tactical genius in the field, his personal life was askew. He married a widow then carried on a public affair with Lady Emma Hamilton, a married woman. His contemporaries warned him she was kryptonite. He loved her and couldn’t be swayed. I’ve used Nelson’s tenuous relationship with his wife, Fanny, in My Lord Rogue, A Nelson’s Tea Novella #1, to rollicking success as Gillian pretends she is Fanny at Drury Lane in order to save Nelson’s life. In My Lady Rogue, #2 in the novella series, I address Nelson’s death at Trafalgar and how this unexpected shock affects my clandestine organization, Nelson’s Tea.
I hope readers love what I’ve done. The greatest compliment I’ve been given was in a review for My Lady Rogue. The reviewer said that I’d incorporated fact into fiction so effectively she thought she was reading a diary of the times. Huzzah!!! Doesn’t get any better than that! 😉
Fiona: What books have most influenced your life most? A mentor?
Here’s another great question! The Flame and The Flower was my 1st historical romance. After that book, I was hooked on Kathleen Woodiwiss’ storytelling genius. Many readers today feel that book glorifies rape. I don’t believe that’s what Woodiwiss intended. Historically, women have always been ill-used. Rape is an act of violence and shouldn’t be glorified in any way but Woodiwiss was staying true to the period in her stories. Diana Gabaldon’s Outlander Series can be used as an example of books written in the 1980’s. Look how popular Outlander is today and with Claire’s near rape and Jamie’s rape by Captain Jack Randall. Taken in context, I believe readers understand the obstacles a heroine or hero face. The hard part for me, as an author writing for modern readers is knowing when to put in the gritty, raw aspects of piracy in my books. Cue my mentors. Two women once gave me the greatest advice. The late Beverly Barton once advised me to “Simplify. Simplify. Simplify.” Linda Winstead Jones suggested “a romance glosses over gruesome aspects of history, focusing on the romance”. Never a day goes by that I’m not reminded of both of these authors’ generous advice. In fact, a picture of Ms. Barton hangs in my office to remind me to stay committed to writing stories readers will love.
Fiona: What book are you reading now?
I just finished a fabulous book by Virginia Taylor called Starling (South Landers Book #1) Set in Australia, in the Victorian period, I promise this is a book you won’t put down. Highly recommend!!!
Fiona: Are there any new authors that have grasped your interest?
Love giving authors a shout out! Added to Virginia Taylor, I’m reading books by M.V. Freeman (Urban Fantasy), Shana Galen, Collette Cameron, Christi Caldwell, and Jillian Chantal (prolific authors who also happen to write Regency).
Fiona: What are your current projects?
Thanks for asking! I’m working on the 3rd installment in my Nelson’s Tea Series, The Rogue’s Surrender. Lord Garrick Seaton finally meets his match in a Spanish señorita named Mercedes. I also have several other projects I’m working on that I’m keeping under wraps for now. 😉
Fiona: Name one entity that you feel supported you outside of family members.
My #1 support has come from RWA (Romance Writers of America). Until I joined a professional writing organization, I was flailing in the wind like a loose sail. The support I found around people who got the voices in my head was profound.
Fiona: If you had to do it all over again, would you change anything in your latest book?
Actually, I did get the chance to relaunch three of my books, Duke by Day, Rogue by Night, The Rogue’s Prize, and Romancing the Jewel (my first contemporary and formerly titled Lost Treasure, Captive Princess) via EsKape Press Publishing after I got my rights back from another publisher. Sometimes a fit isn’t good enough for certain books and authors and publishing houses part ways. I’ve never regretted stepping out of my comfort zone and taking a risk on restarting my career. EsKape Press at: http://eskapepress.com/ has helped turn my vision for this series into one EPIC heart pumping ride!
What did I change when I had the chance? First, I listened to my editors who totally revamped the books and made them shine brighter than ever before. Second, I took feedback from reviewers and used productive suggestions to my advantage. It was the most difficult and challenging thing I’d ever done. Like a phoenix rising out of the ashes, my series is better for all the hard work I put in last year. I owe it all to the great team at EsKape Press!
Fiona: Is there anything you find particularly challenging in your writing?
As with any author, there are days when the muse isn’t talking, the story isn’t clicking, the story sucks, the story is genius, bad reviews plummet my spirits, good reviews roll in, sales slump off, sales explode, and the cycle continues. LOL!!! The challenge is to maintain a level head, sit butt in chair, and no matter the state of a writer’s affairs, forge ahead on the next book. Remove the rear view mirror. Put the blinders on and write!
Fiona: Who is your favorite author and what is it that really strikes you about their work?
Hands down my favorite author is Shana Galen! Her books combine action/adventure with espionage, suspense and romance, loaded with ARRwesome! If you haven’t read her yet, me hearties, buy her books today!
Not only is Ms. Galen a talented prolific author, she’s a generous human being. I’ll never forget the kindnesses she’s shown me in my career.
Fiona: What was the hardest part of writing your book?
Whew! Taking a breath. <grin> Seriously, the hardest part of writing a book when characters are continuously monopolizing headspace can be summed up in one word — time. I often ponder how some authors write faster than me or why some authors are putting out so many books when I’m still struggling with one. Key thing to remember is everyone has 24 hours in a day. How individuals utilize time defines whether or not anyone achieves a goal. I’ve come to realize that I can achieve anything I believe I can do IF I step up to the plate, every day, no matter what is going on in my life. Am I always successful? No. But I get up the next day and try again. Words, like steps, taken one at a time span the length of a story or space. Eventually a goal can be met. Perseverance wins the race! I may be the tortoise but I’ll beat the hare! 😉
Fiona: Did you learn anything from writing your book and what was it?
Over the course of my travels growing up and as an adult, I’ve learned that people are the same no matter which era they exist, no matter where they live in the world. The Napoleonic Wars continued nearly two decades. We face a lengthy war today. I’m constantly struck by the sacrifices and heroism made by our military servicemen and servicewomen. Just as Admiral Nelson strove valiantly to save England from invasion, my books are a reflection of today’s struggles in a myriad of ways.
Fiona: Do you have any advice for other writers?
I always love to answer questions like this, Lady Fiona! Huzzah!!! I’m all about paying it forward. The publishing industry is so full of pot holes. It’s easy for writers to get stuck or sink. If I could tell any writer one thing, it’s this: “Believe to receive”, not the other way around. You MUST believe in yourself. For it is by ‘believing’ that you can ‘achieve’. It’s by ‘achieving’ that you will ‘receive’ whatever you aspire to do. Winston Churchill, a man who defied more than WWII enemies and ill-health has the best quotes EVER. Learn them.
The most important one is this: “Never, never, never, never, never give up.”
Fiona: Do you have anything specific that you want to say to your readers?
I love writing swashbuckling, adventurous books about alpha heroes and the ladies who love ‘em. I hope readers enjoy my action/adventure Regency romance, stories that ARR pure escapism at heart and rollicking good fun to ease worries of the day. Stories that prove no matter what happens in life, there is always hope for an HEA (Happily Ever After) IF you never give up. So away the anchor and unfurl the sails! Let’s go find adventure and treasure together, eh?
Fiona: Do you remember the first book you read?
Besides Dr. Seuss? LOL! The 1st book I remember reading that made me love reading would have to be a book called Valley Forge. This epic true story, meant for young kids, took me to the time of Washington and his heroic attempts to keep his men alive during the worst winter on record, without supplies. My bones shivered. My stomach knotted with hunger. That book made me one with Washington’s men and helped me realize my ‘never give up hope’ strategy. I was 10 years old.
Fiona: What makes you laugh/cry?
Funny movies! I laugh so hard, I cry. 😉
Fiona: Is there one person pass or present you would meet and why?
Oh, Lady Fiona, this one is easy. Hands down! I’d love to meet Admiral Horatio Nelson! Of all the heroes in the world, this man tops the list. He went to sea at 12 years old after his mother died. Many people don’t know he suffered sea-sickness all of his life. He proved himself loyal to England, rising from lowly mid-shipman to noble rank. He lost sight in his right eye at Calvi and his right arm near Corsica but was back on deck leading his men 30 minutes after having his arm amputated. He suffered several bouts of malaria but never gave up. He wasn’t perfect, by any stretch of the imagination. But the courage, tenacity, honor, and conviction Nelson portrayed paved the way for England to become the most celebrated naval force in the world at a time when Napoleon had striped many of hope. He was never without his tea, even on board ship. And so, during my research, it became clear that ‘tea’ would be the code name Nelson used for mercenaries under his employ, 1st sons beyond suspicion from every walk of life. Oh, I would very much like to meet Admiral Nelson indeed!
Fiona: What do you want written on your head stone and why?
Woe! This is a very interesting question, one I have to think about because I’ve told my family I’m against spending money on a coffin and crypt. After seeing what the funeral home put us through when my grandparents died, I find it disgusting how much money funeral parlors milk out of grieving people. So, I’ve made the decision to be cremated and I’ve asked my family to scatter my ashes in some brilliant locale. If, however, I did have a gravestone, I’d want my headstone to say, “Here she lies, quietly asleep, an author who made readers weep.” (Buahahaha!!! Just made that up. Pirate!) Seriously, I am fascinated by cemeteries and the stories eulogies parlay on tombstones. There is something oh so sacred about walking in a cemetery. If I was cremated, no one would ever find me, would they? But does it matter? When I’m cremated, I will return to the earth, becoming one with the Great Spirit. (Didn’t think I could bring back the research I’d done so long ago here, did ya? LOL!!!)
Fiona: Other than writing do you have any hobbies?
I love addressing my artistic side. I garden during the summer. (Love my flowers!) I make beaded bookmarks for my readers and jewelry too. During football season and winter months, I love to knit on Saturdays while I watch my favorite teams. I used to make baskets and can tomato sauce, homemade spaghetti sauce, applesauce, peppers, and various jams but I don’t have time to do those things anymore. I love to sew and quilt too when my hands aren’t sore from typing computer keys. 😉
Fiona: What TV shows/films do you enjoy watching?
TV and Film ARR great ways to gain inspiration. TV can’t get any better than Black Sails and Outlander on Starz. Penny Dreadful on Showtime. Game of Thrones on HBO. Daredevil and Hemlock Grove on Netflix. Sleepyhollow, Supernatural, Turn, The 100, and GRIMM. I’m uber excited about Poldark finally coming to the US in June! As for movies, I have a mixture of interests from almost any Marvel Comic movie to Phantom of the Opera, Pride & Prejudice (and almost any Jane Austen movie), Pathfinder, Dances With Wolves, Last of the Mohicans, Horatio Hornblower Series, Scarlet Pimpernel, Master and Commander, and last but definitely not least, the love of my life, Captain Jack Sparrow in the entire Pirates of the Caribbean Series! (Eagerly awaitin’ the next installment!)
Fiona: Favorite foods / Colors/ Music:
I absolutely love Chicken Fried Steak with Cream Gravy and anything dark or milk chocolate! As a pirate, of course I must share my love of rum, in particular Strawberry Daiquiris. My favorite color is green, red takes a close second! My musical tastes are very eclectic. I listen to just about anything, depending on my mood. When I write, I listen to movie soundtracks from Master and Commander, Pride and Prejudice to Black Sails or I listen to Baroque music. My IPod is full of anything from Black-eyed Peas to rap/Hiphop to pop. I’m especially into Imagine Dragons and Taylor Swift’s new 1986 CD right now.
Fiona: If you were not a writer what else would you like to have done?
As a young college student I went to art school intent on getting an Art Degree. But Prince Charming came along and swept me off my feet, distracting me with romance. Who knew? LOL!!! We were married the end of my junior year in college and moved to CA for Italian Language School before transferring to Italy. At Language school, I acquired enough credits for a minor in Italian with every intention of finishing art school in, you guessed it, the land of the masters! I’d always wanted a family and our first child came along almost two years after we married. What I’d forgotten about being pregnant was the danger of being around toxic solvents in an art studio. So my dreams of finishing art school in Italy were shelved as I had two children during our tour there. I’ve never regretted it. So, if I wasn’t a writer, I think I would be delving more into art, perhaps getting that Graphic Design degree I wanted so long ago. Or who knows? Maybe I would go back to school and get a history degree or take up fencing! (Pirate!)

Katherine Bone’s Bio:
Short Bio: Katherine Bone lives in the south where she dreams of Rogues, Rebels and Rakes, and the happily ever afters every Alpha male deserves.
Long Bio: Katherine Bone has been passionate about all things historical since she was an Army brat traveling all over the world. Initially, she dreamed of being an artist, but when she met and fell in love with Prince Charming, her own dashing Lieutenant vowing duty, honor, and country, she found herself saying, “I do.” Whisked away to Army bases, castles, battlegrounds, and cathedrals, where tales of swashbuckling adventure filled the lonely gaps when the Army called Charming away, Katherine’s imagination took flight. No longer nomadic, she calls the south home and spends most of her time daydreaming about Charming and heroes of yesteryear.
Excerpt:
“DO YOU REALLY think this will be the last time we are all gathered together?” Gillian moved into Simon’s welcoming embrace, swallowing back a heart wrenching sob.
Ten minutes had passed since Garrick had left the townhouse. Ten long minutes of watching Simon’s brows furrow ever tighter, deepening until the aristocratic lines of his handsome face were grossly disfigured. Gillian couldn’t bear the ugly transformation, for his expression only hinted at the war building inside him. His steadfast code of morality and honor had consistently succeeded in suppressing his own needs and desires. What of sorrow? Would the news of Nelson’s death prove a more impenetrable shield? Could she shore up this wounded man’s agony? And more importantly, how could she if she tried?
In the past, their separations had been purely physical, an exhausting distance no preoccupation could eliminate. Today, her new enemy held greater influence on Simon’s emotions than marriage vows and honor. And she knew well enough the folly of ignoring this new foe. She’d seen what despair had done to Garrick.
She ran her fingers over Simon’s shoulders, luxuriating in the feel of the exquisite lines of his tailored morning coat. They were as close as they could possibly be, and yet the distance had never been further. Too much stood between them, Lady Danbury’s and Nelson’s deaths, the fate of Nelson’s Tea, their unspoken feelings. Did he feel it too? She’d long dreamed of sharing a deeper intimacy with this man who haunted her days and nights, absorbing his scent of sandalwood and spice, taking all of him, holding nothing back. Now she suppressed a shiver in the resounding quiet. Her long wait for Simon had come to an end at last, hadn’t it? But at what cost?
Her heart cried out with longing. He was no longer married. He could be hers, if not for the sorrowful voices haunting their lives or the ones they heard pulsating throughout the city.
Nelson is dead! Nelson is dead!
Simon inhaled deeply, breaking the uncomfortable silence. “We cannot fail. Our business is not only risky, it relies solely on His Majesty’s grace. With Nelson’s assistance, leadership, and guidance, we were assured good measure. No longer.”
She hesitated to ask why. “And now?”
Surely King George respected Simon enough to allow him to continue Nelson’s Tea after he and Lucien had saved the king’s life at Drury Lane?
His winded sigh heightened her doubts. “I’m not as certain as I once was. Without Nelson at the helm, Nelson’s Tea’s motivation is gone. Once morale is gone—”
“Not all gone,” she said, clinging to him as if her life depended on it. And it did. Simon was everything to her. He was her night and day, her moral compass. He was the most intelligent man she’d ever met. His skill at disguise, his mastery of language, culture, and stratagem far outweighed any nobles servicing England in the House of Lords or the Admiralty Board.
He stepped back, only slightly, and lifted her chin, tilting her face up to his. Her gaze traveled from the lapels of his coat to his starched cravat, upper neck, and chin, finally settling on his generous sensual mouth. She held her breath as hundreds of butterflies fluttered to break free from her chest and waited for him to speak as if her very life depended on his next words.
“You and I are not of this world, are we?”
She closed her eyes absorbing his warmth like she’d been deprived of the noonday sun. “I am part of any world you reside in, Simon. I would follow you anywhere.”
When he said nothing, she opened her eyes, suppressing the chill that swept over her. Why wouldn’t he let go and just be? She leaned toward him, absorbing the power emanating from his body.
Dark hair draped over his forehead as he glanced down at her. Heaven help her, she was a selfish woman. She trembled with desire, wanting his mouth on hers, longing to know how he tasted. She wanted assurances, his promise that their dreams of being together hadn’t been crushed. It was wrong to desire these things, so very wrong. It was too soon.
