I wish I was writing more in this series at the moment, but I have to write Her Demonic Angel now so it’s ready in time for its scheduled September release. I’ll just have to wait until I’ve written it and then I can dive back into the series and write the final two books. It’ll be nice writing a novel for a change though. I like to write novellas, but I do love the twists, turns and other things I can do only in a long novel.

Covet Book Tour delves into the world of Vampirerotique and other Vampire Erotic Theatre news

Posted on 24th January 2012 by Felicity Heaton

Hot on the heels of my first date in my Covet Book Tour where I stopped by Riverina Romantics for an interview and shared an excerpt, plus giveaway, I’m visiting the fabulous Bona Fide Reflections and talking about the book, Covet, and the theatre, Vampirerotique!

On Friday, I’ll be at the wonderful Book Monster Reviews and Literal Addiction interviewing Javier and Lilah about the theatre. Full details of the tour is available on my Covet Book Tour page. The tour schedule gets busy after this week, with another four stops next week, three the week after, and four the week after that!

In other Vampire Erotic Theatre series news, I’ve just completed the first draft of Enslave. It finished at 33500 words but I think this one will grow a little in edits as I want to up the UST in the first half of the book. I really want to write the next book in the series, Bewitch, now so I can finally write Snow’s book, Unleash, but I can’t.

Since Enslave is the final planned release in the series for the year, it means I have to switch my focus to another of my series that actually has a release schedule for 2012. I have to read Her Guardian Angel so I can plan and write Her Demonic Angel. Since I plan to release that book this September, I really need to get cracking on it. It’s a hard life but someone has to live it. I was going to read Her Guardian Angel when I’m in Barcelona over the next couple of days but I think I’ll read something by Lara Adrian or Gena Showalter instead. I need a break from work.

Covet Book Tour kicks off and other Vampire Erotic Theatre news

Posted on 23rd January 2012 by Felicity Heaton

It’s time to tour again. This year I’m trying to keep my book tours smaller and more focused, so I don’t end up spending too much time writing tour posts when I could be writing. I really want to streamline things this year to maximise my writing time. I’m also offering touring with a difference for my paranormal romance books in 2012. There’s a grand giveaway for each of my tours and the prize you can win simply by following the tour and commenting on the posts is six signed paperback copies of my paranormal romance releases of 2011. Sounds good, right? You can read all about it by clicking the book tour button.

The first stop on the Covet Book Tour is at Riverina Romantics where I was interviewed by the lovely Kristen. I’m also hosting a giveaway there. So why not hop on over to the blog, read the interview, enter the giveaway, and don’t forget to leave a comment on the main post so you’re entered into the grand giveaway too! Visit Riverina Romantics and read the interview

Tomorrow, I’ll be at the wonderful Bona Fide Reflections talking a little about the book. Full details of the tour is available on my Covet Book Tour page.

In other Covet news, I’ve had some more amazing reviews come in for the book. I’m utterly floored by the love this erotic vampire romance book and series is getting. Seriously.

“This is the first book in Felicity Heaton’s Vampire Erotic Theatre Romance Series and I have to say she is off to a very good start. This series seems to have a darker, sensual vibe to it and definitely more erotic… A wonderful addition to the paranormal erotic romance genre and one that will be a favorite for many.”

— Bitten by Paranormal Romance, 5 Stars! (Read the full review)

“I was completely in love with Ms. Heatonâ€™s writing style and ability to bring me into the scenes. Every emotion that Javier and Lilah felt, I felt and was able to connect that much more to them and the story. Her vivid imagery of the world, settings and characters brought the book to life and made it burn.”

— Hesperia Loves Books, 4 Stars! (Read the full review)

“This story for me was extreme heat at its finest as it felt like a long seductive and sensual foreplay between Javier and Lilah… The author, Felicity Heaton, created a theater, which made me feel as though I wanted to be apart of it with its erotica performances. Fans of paranormal erotica will surely feel satisfied once theyâ€™ve reached the end of this story of forbidden love.”

— Romance Novel Junkies, 4.5 Stars! (Read the full review)

“Felicity Heaton depicts the Vampirerotique so vividly I had to look around just to make sure I was not on stage! Thanks to the writer gods for Felicity Heaton! I am looking forward to Novella #2”

— Queentutt’s World of Escapism, 5 Stars! (Read the full review)

Covet

Felicity Heaton
Theyâ€™ve burned for each other for two years, the forbidden attraction between them growing each night. Now resisting the sinful desires of their hearts is becoming impossible.

Javier knows better than to succumb to his hunger for Lilah. The mortal female belongs to a powerful aristocrat patron of Vampirerotique, the theatre he runs with three other vampires. A single touch is all it would take to break the sacred law of his kind, sentencing himself to death, but his passion for her has become too fierce to ignore and he will risk everything to make Lilah his.

Lilah has fought her desire for Javier since arriving at his theatre as a servant but each glance he has stolen, his eyes promising pleasure that will satisfy her longing for him, has chipped away at her defences and she can no longer deny her need and her forbidden feelings for the powerful vampire male.

When they find themselves alone in a private box during one of the erotic performances, will they surrender to their passion and live out their wildest fantasies in a night of wicked pleasure or will the threat of Lilahâ€™s master keep them apart forever?

ebook price: $2.99
genre: paranormal vampire romance
length: 30000 words / Novella
Book 1 in the Vampire Erotic Theatre series

Winter Warmers Blog Tour so far

Posted on 12th December 2011 by Felicity Heaton

I’m touring at the moment with my Winter Warmers offer and the paranormal romance books that are discounted in it. The tour started last week but I was having a terrible week so didn’t have a moment to pop online to blog about it. Each blog stop has a post about one of the paranormal romance books in the offer and also has a giveaway, so be sure to follow the tour for your chance to win some signed book swag!

Today I’ll round up the previous posts in the Winter Warmers blog tour and also talk a little about today’s stop at Fade Into Fantasy!

Winter Warmers Blog Tour

And today I’m over at Fade Into Fantasy chatting about the Prophecy Trilogy because I have all three books in the trilogy on offer until January 15th. I love the Prophecy Trilogy because it is the reason that the Vampires Realm series exists, and that’s one of my favourite series to write. At the moment, all three of the books are available for just $0.99 each, which is a saving of $6. At Fade Into Fantasy I talk a little about the book, the series, the offer and share one of my favourite scenes from the books, as well as offer you all a chance to win some signed book swag! Read the post here.

Tomorrow I’m at Satin’s Bookish Corner talking about Hunter’s Moon, another book in the Vampires Realm series of paranormal romances.

Masquerade and other paranormal romance books

Posted on 24th November 2011 by Felicity Heaton

It’s been quite a busy few weeks for me. As many of your know, I was away last weekend for a few days, enjoying the wilds of Scotland and some good paranormal romance books. I read three of them. I have to say, once I begin reading, I don’t want to stop. It’s dangerous. Reading equals no writing. I think there might be a few angry shouts in my direction if I got back into reading again, neglecting my writing. Those three books did help me complete my Goodreads reading challenge though, bringing me up to 24 this year. That’s a lot for me.

Because I was going away, I worked extra hard to keep my focus on the second draft of Masquerade, the tenth Vampires Realm book. I managed to complete it in time and get other necessary things done like the final blog posts for my Heart of Darkness Blog Tour. It’s a relief to have the second draft of Masquerade done. It’s now 90,000 words in total, so I added 6000 or so during this edit. There’s a chance I’ll either chop some of those out during the polish edit or end up adding more. We shall have to wait and see. I think I cleared up a few things that were bugging me during this edit though and I’m hoping that when my adorable crit partners have finished reading it that they come back making positive noises. I’m not worried as I still have the polish edit to go and can smooth out any rough edges then.

I’ve been trying to read about marketing plans and business plans and many other things involving the word plan but I seem to space out after reading a few paragraphs and get confused about it all. There doesn’t seem to be anything concrete about such things. I’ve boiled it all down to – set some random targets and attempt to achieve them. There’s no science involved. When people talk about business plans, I like to think somewhere there’s something that tells you exactly what you do. It does seem like setting made up targets and trying to make them happen to me. That frustrates me. I’m a very logical person, so I need logic in everything I do… scribbling some rubbish down and calling it a business plan turns my stomach. There has to be something more informative and concrete about them out there.

2012 is sneaking up on us though, and I think it’s time I tried to get into a better position business-wise and formulate plans and stick to them. I want to start moving into a position where I have more time between completing a book and releasing it. I need that time so I can send out ARCs for review, create advertising, formulate a marketing plan, make a book trailer, arrange a tour, write tour posts etc all prior to the book’s release. Everything is always hot on my heels otherwise and I feel as though I’m about to get snagged and feel it just flood past me and leave me behind. Generally, I want to feel less stressed and more relaxed. The more relaxed I am, the more I write.

I do feel ready for the challenge though, refreshed by my break and time away from work, spending hours with my nose stuck in books. Reading wasn’t the only thing I did in my short break. I started thinking about my Hades Boys series too and I think I’ve written around 40 pages of notes for it now that I need to type up and add to my word documents. I would really like to get started on that series in 2012.

All this talk about working, I guess I should get some done! I’ll come back tomorrow for my final Heart of Darkness Tour catch up post. Hope you enjoy today’s Daily Dozen later on too!

I’ve just finished reading through the first draft of Covet ahead of doing the second draft, and tomorrow I’ll read through the first draft of Crave. They’re both erotic vampire romance novellas and both part of my upcoming Vampire Erotic Theatre series that is due out next year. I’m not sure when the first book will come out though. You’ll have to wait and see!
