I had a blast designing my website. I added LOTS of extras, including character interviews, and articles about my research. You can also
read the first chapter

One of my favorite features is where readers can ask
the characters from A Maiden's Honor questions.
(And they will answer you! How cool is that?) These features are all listed under the
Extras section.
Check in with my website from time to time. I will be adding new articles on a regular basis. (New articles are listed below.) Please feel free to sign up for my newsletter.

Interview with Cora
A Maiden's Honor
"Explain it in a way that she can understand,” Hassan shouted. “I want her to understand your treachery. Tell her now, or I will cut off your ears, your nose, and every part of your body until you confess your sin.” While several of his crewmen held Emile steady, Hassan pressed his saber against the doctor’s ear. “This is your last opportunity to confess,” he warned as he pushed his saber deep enough to draw blood.
Beads of sweat rolled down Emile’s forehead. “I deceived you, Sarah.” His voice quivered as he spoke in English. “We intended to murder your father when we decided to give you passage to France.”
"What murder? Sarah asked.
Sarah Campbell is a rarity among women in her time. Raised by her Scottish father and the natives on a remote island in the South Pacific, Sarah and her father embark on a perilous journey to Scotland. Their crew murders her father and attempts to sell Sarah into slavery on the voyage. An unlikely hero rescues her, Hassan Aziz, the most feared pirate on the Barbary Coast. Sarah discovers that she is unprepared for the complex world that is thrust upon her. She must find a way to survive in a world that intrigues and terrifies her.

What People are saying about
A Maiden's Honor
A Maiden's Honor is undoubtedly one of the best books I've ever read. The historical details, the realistic events, the constant twists and turns, the fantastic characters, the characters development, the details and the sensations that all this provokes the reader, makes this book one of the most dense and incredible books that I've read in my life.
Words are not, and will never be, enough to explain my love for this story. I recommend it completely and I'm hoping that the author keeps conquering me through the rest of the series.

This is an epic love story set on the Barbary Coast in the time of Pirates better known as Cosairs. If you love to be transported to another time and place, with all the needed detail supplied for you to feel like you are there - do not miss out on this.
A Maiden's Honor, Josanna Thompson's sweeping debut novel, carries the reader, along with her beguiling heroine, Sarah Campbell, from the South Seas, through the harems of Algiers, to the shores of England. Packed with daring tales of piracy, loyalty, and passion, A Maiden's Honor is an exciting new entry to the shelves of historical fiction and leaves readers wanting more.

Valentines Day! Is February really halfway over? Ack! As you can see, my website has a new look. Hope you like it. I had a good reason for doing it.
Ever since A Maiden's Honor came out, I've spent more time than I should trying to promote my book. There are many marketing avenues, but finding the right one is the million dollar question. Some marketing stragegies work well for one author, and not so much for another. I'm still searching for mine. That's why I started The Book Marketing Forum Facebook group. The purpose of this group is to give authors an opportunty to openly discuss marketing avenues without worrying about receiving a sales pitch. It's a small group, most everyone is very active, and lots of interesting ideas have been shared. I'm grateful.
Anyway, ifyou ask the marketing "experts", they will tell you that the best way to get your name out there is to start a blog. I've decided to give it a shot. Stay tuned for new blogs.
With love,
