Brooksville Writers’ Group Memeber Wins Literary Award

Johanna Bolton’s historical romance, the LADY & THE PIRATE (renamed THE PIRATE’S LADY) won the 2011 Royal Palm Literary Award for Best 2011 Romance Novel.

According to Bolton, the novel was first conceived when she was 16 years old and fascinated with sailboats, and the sea, and a TV show called “The Buccaneers.” She dragged the manuscript around with her for the next 50 years, adding to the story now and then. Finished just last summer, Bolton entered the book in the Royal Palm competition on a whim. She only learned she had won on Sunday morning (10/22) while she was appearing at Necronomicon Science Fiction Convention in Tampa, Florida, where she was a guest speaker. Primarily a science fiction and mystery author, Bolton had no plans to ever write a romance, but this tale was so different that it demanded being told.

The book’s title has been changed. It was a difficult decision, Bolton admitted, “but I don’t think it will make that much of a difference … the manuscript is still the same. However, I called the story THE PIRATE’S LADY since … well since the books inception. But when I typed the name into Amazon’s search engine, I came up with plus two pages of Pirate Lady’s. The new title, LADY AND THE PIRATE, only raised one other book.” And some early readers, she added, liked this new title better.

You can get a copy of LADY AND THE PIRATE aka THE PIRATE’S LADY as a treebook at http://jmbolton.com. The story is also available in ebook formats from most sources (amazon, Barnes & Noble, Smashwords).

Book cover by JM Bolton

Empathic doctor, Riley Griey thinks she’s been through hell, but then the war ended and things got worse! Colonel Mac McKenna is living on borrowed time, and even though a relationship is the last thing he needs, he’s haunted by the beautiful doctor. Together they land on a planet that turns out to be alive, and they have to find a way to communicate with this alien hive mentality before the human colonists are annihilated. They can’t do this unless they learn to work together first. Then when a devastating attack leaves Mac torn, blind, and dying, can Riley work through her own trauma to save him?

THE PIRATE’S LADY, a Historical Novel with Romantic Elements.

Cover by JM Bolton

JM Bolton (aka Marjory Thierry) has a new ebook available.

THE PIRATE’S LADY is a Historical Novel with Romantic Elements.

A VIRTUOUS WOMAN, ALONE in the Caribbean in1690 was unheard of,
and so when Morgan found herself allied to Daniel Harris, one of the most
notorious buccaneers on the Spanish Main, she had to make the best of it. Little did they know the alliance would soon become something much more! Then, when Daniel is captured and imprisoned in one of the most dreaded fortresses in the Indies, Morgan has to find a way to save him, even if it means giving up her own freedom in exchange.

“This story sweeps from the torrid heat of the West Indies to the icy palaces of 17th century England. Rated a historical romance, and there is romance, The Pirate’s Lady is also an adventure with a fine dose of mystery. And the characters are interesting. It’s a very satisfying read.” (SP – New Mexico)

The book is available from Amazon, the Barnes & Noble Nook Store, and Smashwords.

Welcome to IDBPI

International Digital Book Publishing Industries started many years ago as an effort to create a small hand-held book reader and digitized content — fiction, nonfiction, & textbooks.  We took our idea to publishers, booksellers, and anyone else we could think of.  Everyone was enthused, so much in fact,  that they they all came out with their own versions of the digital reader.

Currently IDBPI is publishing a variety of paper as well as digital books. We are also the parent of The Brooksville Writers’ Group.
