Blackthorn is a Gothic Bestseller!

This wasn’t a scheduled post, but I couldn’t resist sharing some exciting news.

I knew it was going to be fun going global instantly with Bookouture. Part of the reason I was so keen to be a part of the eBook revolution was to have immediate access to readers all around the world. There has been interest in the Blackthorn series from readers in so many countries now, it’s awesome. I’m even going to be interviewed on a blog in the Philippines soon!

Then my publisher got in touch today to let me know that both Blood Shadows and Blood Roses have hit the top 10 bestsellers for Gothic Romance in Germany’s Amazon chart! Blood Roses is at number 9! Blood Shadows is at number 2!! Look, look… 🙂

This is great news following Blood Roses hitting the top 20 in Amazon UK’s Gothic Romance’s bestseller chart on its release – with both Blood Roses and Blood Shadows still remaining in the top 100. Blood Shadows is in the top 100 in the US Amazon Gothic Romance bestsellers charts too.

Unfortunately none of the wonderful ratings and reviews you left for the books have shown up in Germany. But thank you to everybody who continues to rate and leave reviews for my books – especially on Amazon. It really does make a difference.

With the amazing Lorella Belli Literary Agency now representing the translation rights on the first three books of the series, let’s hope that, one day, even more readers will be able to access Blackthorn.

Have a great week, everyone!

Exclusive Blood Roses Interview

When the awesome GraveTells asked if they could do something a little special by way of interviewing Caleb and Jake from Blood Roses, I was thrilled to bits to hear what they had in mind.

The fabulously imaginative GraveTells team decided a straightforward interview wasn’t quite enough. What they wanted was to venture into Blackthorn itself in their very own story. But it didn’t stop there. Not only did they want exclusive access to the club for a rare interview with the Dehain brothers – they wanted to conduct it in Caleb’s library!

Jake was very accommodating but, needless to say, it took a bit of persuasion to get Caleb involved. Considering I hold his future in my hands though, I managed to talk him around. 😉

So here it is, the first ever interview with Caleb and Jake Dehain – GraveTells style. They don’t conduct many of these style interviews, so I was really flattered to be asked. What makes it even more special is that they put out a call for questions and you didn’t let me down. They couldn’t use them all, but thank you EVERYONE who participated. Check the end of the post to see if you get a mention!

Blood Roses Bite #17

It’s time for the final Blood Roses Bite! I hope you’ve really enjoyed the showcase since the launch of Blood Roses. Can you believe it was 3 weeks ago today? Since then, the second instalment into Blackthorn has gained more than thirty 5-star and fifteen 4-star reviews on Goodreads alone. That’s a terrific backbone to the book. Thank you to every single person who has rated it, let alone everyone who has left such detailed and awesome reviews. You’re a massive part of encouraging others to try the series for themselves, so I appreciate your support HUGELY.

So, what better way to end the Bites than with a quote straight from one of those reviews? This one comes from Janice, a fantastic reviewer at The Demon Librarian. Thanks so much for your amazing review, Janice (and, of course, Lynsey!)  – the highest of high fives to you! Here’s just a snippet of that review in Blood Roses Bite #17…

Have a wonderful weekend everyone! And stay close for more Blackthorn news next week.

Blood Roses Bite #16

I couldn’t resist quoting another review of Blood Roses to support a Bite. This one comes from the truly lovely Tracey Rogers…thank you SO much for rating and reviewing, Tracey.

“If you’re thinking that Caleb sounds cruel and ruthless then you’re absolutely right. He is. There are many reasons to hate him. He’s a manipulative, potent and wicked vamp. Dangerous yet delicious and a true anti-hero. But equally there are reasons to love him. With a heart breaking past and an explosive attraction to Leila you just have to take him into your heart. Could Leila be the one to save him?” 

Can she?

Blood Roses Bite #15

As you know, I read all my reviews. To go with today’s Bite, I have to say this quote from Fiona at I Heart Books is just perfect:

“The story quickly becomes something far more when they discover that fate didn’t bring them together. They were, in fact, destined to find each other. Their lives have always been inextricably linked, and finding themselves in the situation they have ended up in was not just a random coincidence. Other forces are at work behind the scenes, forcing them both to accept the inevitable. 

But can that future be changed? Can they find another way? Or will destiny play the cruelest trick on them both, forcing them to follow their predetermined destiny, regardless of their feelings?”

Thanks, Fiona – hope you didn’t mind me quoting you!
