Blackthorn – More Posts, More Giveaways, More Books!
It’s the start of a new year for Blackthorn, and that means a new year for this blog. If you want to know everything there is to know about my series, this is the place to be. This is where I record all the major happenings throughout the year, details about my books that you won’t find anywhere else, as well as it being an open forum for readers to comment or ask questions. In fact, quite a few posts over the past two years have been inspired from your input. So, as always, if there is anything you would like me to include over the forthcoming year, do feel free to let me know. I already have a few posts lined up to start us off though…
THE YEAR AHEAD
Blog posts about me…
I was blog-tagged a little while back to reveal some previously undisclosed facts about myself, so that’s up first. I’m already wracking my brain!
…about Blackthorn…
Having already given my personal take on each of my Blackthorn couples – Kane and Caitlin, Caleb and Leila and Jask and Phia – I’ve been asked a few times when it will be Eden and Jessie’s turn. I’m pleased to tell you that they will finally be in the spotlight next month. Hopefully you have now read Blood Deep, so there won’t be any spoilers. If there are any details you wish you knew about our latest hero and heroine, do let me know!
Although it feels like ages away, it won’t be long before we’re counting down the weeks to Blood Dark’s release. Nearer the time, I’ll be posting a glossary of all of Blackthorn’s characters (just in case you need to refresh your memory). And, now that we’re at the mid-way point in the series, I’ll also be summarising the Blackthorn story so far – something else that could prove useful with so many threads now coming together!
…and even more giveaways!
Your response to Blackthorn giveaways last year was fantastic. Creating the Blackthorn soundtrack was definitely a highlight of 2014 for me. I was truly blown away by your suggestions, mainly because the lyrics you chose demonstrated just how much you “get” these books. Of course, I also discovered some superb songs and albums thanks to you!
Your participation in my Audiobook giveaway was particularly brilliant, so much so that I have more Audiobooks to give away very soon. Thanks to Bookouture and Lorella Bella Literary Agency, it’s going to be an even bigger giveaway than last time. Stay close for that one!
As Blood Dark draws closer, there will be an early eBook copy up for grabs as well as a signed paperback copy after its release. I might even have a few more limited-edition postcards up for grabs later on in the year as well – I know they always prove popular.
And then we can do the same all over again with book six (no spoilers with the title yet 😉 ), which may also make it out this year.
I think it’s going to be a busy one! 😀

Did you say MORE BOOKS??? 😉
Wishing you a successful New Year xxx
I did indeed, Tracey! I hope you enjoy them! 😀 Thanks so much – you too, lovely! xxx
Oohh! I cannot wait to read the next series Blood Dark. I have to say though of all the books my favorite characters are Caleb and Leila. Keep up the good work!
Hi Dann! That’s awesome to know, thank you! And I’m really pleased that Caleb and Leila are your favourites. I love a bit of support for my most controversial couple. Thanks so much for stopping by to read and comment. 🙂
Thanks for the awesome reads!!! I was just wondering, considering how the first four book were between the four different couples and there will be 8 books. Will the next four be from each different point of view like the first four or will you be trading points of views? I hope .explaining my question correctly lol anyway can’t wait to read the next book and am really hoping to get an arc or a signed copy; ). Great Job!!!
Thank you, Liz – my pleasure. Thank you so much for taking the time to read them! <3
That is such a good question, and you totally explained it correctly. I get what you mean. 🙂 The next three books will each focus on one of our central couples again, but all our heroes and heroines will have a part in each others' stories one way or another. I won't give you any spoilers about book eight but one our four couples play a VERY significant role in the finale. I hope I explained that okay without being too elusive. Thanks so much for your question!
And I'm so pleased to know you're hoping to win an arc or signed copy. I'll give you plenty of warning when the giveaways are approaching. Take care! 🙂
Thanks for this wonderful preview to this year with Blackthorn! Your personal takes on each of the couples so far were fascinating and very insightful…now I’m happily anticipating the deeper understanding to come with Eden and Jessie’s post next month! BTW…can’t wait for Blood Dark…I’m having withdrawals…but re-reading the others helps. 😉 Team Blackthorn forever. <3
My absolute pleasure, Suzanne. It’s terrific to know you’ve enjoyed my previous takes on our couples. Thanks for taking the time to read them. I hope you enjoy that little bit more insight into Jessie and Eden too – it’s great to know you’re looking forward to it. And it’s brilliant to know you’re having withdrawals too!! Re-reads certainly seem to help with that. 😉 Team Blackthorn are amazing. <3 <3
Hi Lindsay. I am super excited about the new stories this year. I go back and re read this series over and over these past months. Seems like so long to wait for the next story…I’m too anxious! Thank you for sharing this incredible world with us. Oh yes, and will you ever do a tour in the United States, preferably California? Hehe
Hi Mellissa. I’m so thrilled to know you’re so excited about more Blackthorn. I’m certainly having lots of fun writing the next instalment! And I love that you’ve enjoyed the books enough to keep rereading them. That’s just terrific. If I ever do a tour of the US, I will let you know! California would be a must – I’ve ALWAYS wanted to go there. 🙂
I am a huge fan of PNR. I came across your first book by accident looking for another read while awaiting several of my other favorite PNR Authors’ series to be released. You are now on my favorite PNR Author list. I have passed the information of the series to friends that are also PNR lovers. When is Blood Dark scheduled to be released?
Great Series!!!! By the way I was so engrossed in the Blackthorn series I read all four in a week. ;0)
Hi Andrea. That’s just awesome! Thank you so much. I’m really flattered. It’s always a huge compliment when someone enjoys my books enough to spread the word to their friends. I truly appreciate you doing that. And it’s fantastic to know you were hooked enough to read all four in a week!
Blood Dark will be released this Summer (UK Summer). I’ll have more specifics in due course. But if you’re not a regular visitor here, you have the option to sign up via the toolbar to receive an email the day it is released – just in case you’re worried about missing it.
Take care – and thanks for your comment. I hope your friends enjoy Blackthorn too. 🙂
