Amazon KDP Select and my paranormal romance books
I’ve been tracking book sales and it’s been interesting to see how well In Heat and In Heat: Mating Call have been doing on Amazon.com after the free day I had for In Heat. I put them both into the Amazon KDP Select programme because I was taking them off sale because they hadn’t been performing well and they are both around 4+ years old now.
I put them up exclusively on Amazon to try out the KDP Select thing with a novel priced at $2.99 because the results with a $0.99 sweet fantasy romance short hadn’t been great, and the results have been interesting. I have always said that I wouldn’t remove my books from other retailers in order to participate in Amazon KDP Select but to be honest, the difference in sales is pretty dramatic for In Heat, so I am looking at making some other books exclusive to Amazon.
With these books though, it will be a temporary thing. I’ll be doing just the required 90 days exclusive to Amazon for them, and it will be a rolling thing, so not all my books will be exclusive to Amazon at once. It’s only select books too, those that aren’t performing at all on the other retailers, and definitely none of the current Her Angel romance series and Vampires Realm romance series books.
I don’t want to exclude any readers by making my books exclusive to Amazon, but the number of people I can reach with the Amazon KDP Select programme is high enough that I really can’t justify not giving it a go for the minimum required time. The books will go back on Apple, Nook, Sony and Kobo etc after the 90 days are up, so they will be available to readers who use those devices. I think numbers speak for themselves though.
In Heat moved over 1000 copies in February and looks like it will move over 2000 this month on Amazon, and it’s currently in the Top 1000 Kindle books. It has not left the Top 1500 since the start of February.
In Heat: Mating Call has sold over 500 copies in February and is likely to sell 1000 copies in March.
Prior to being an Amazon KDP Select exclusive, In Heat was doing a grand total of under 300 sales a month across ALL websites. Around 200 of those were on Amazon, and the remaining 100 were spread across the other 7 retail sites where it was available. The books I’m talking about adding to KDP Select and making exclusive to Amazon for 90 days are books that are doing under 100 sales a month at those 7 retail sites. If I can reach an extra 900-1900 people by doing this, then it makes business sense to do it. I want to expand my reach as an author and this seems a viable method of doing that.
Like I said, I would be removing one or two books at a time and making them exclusive to Amazon for 90 days. They will then go back onto the other retailers, and I’ll make a different book exclusive to Amazon. I won’t make the books totally exclusive to Amazon forever. That’s just wrong and I don’t want to exclude anyone. There’s a chance these books won’t do as well as In Heat or that book is just a fluke or it’s because it’s part of a two book series, and I’ll be forgetting the whole idea. Who knows? But I need to find out for myself. Feel free to rail at me but writing is a business and this makes sense to me as an author looking to expand her reach. I have to experiment with things like this to see if it’s viable and helps me promote my brand and my books. I can’t really apologise for it. I’m sure many authors would do the same, or perhaps even you would if you were an author trying to make a name for yourself and reach a bigger audience.
In Heat
Felicity Heaton
A heat wave isn’t the only thing making London too hot for lawyer Kim. She’s been spending each night with a man who sets her body and heart on fire. The problem? He’s a man that always sprouts black fur and purrs, and he’s only a dream. Walking into work on the hottest day of the year, the last thing she expects is to meet Erik, a man who sends her temperature soaring and who resembles her dream guy exactly.
A black panther shape-shifter, Erik Blackwell has been searching for his mate for twenty-seven years. The visions they share each night are getting hotter but finding her is proving impossible as he’s never seen her face. That is, until it turns out she’s working as his lawyer on his contract negotiations with his brother, Alistair.
Kim can’t deny her attraction to Erik. The heat she feels with him is intense and it’s only a matter of time before they surrender to their carnal desires.
When Kim discovers Erik’s secret, will she turn her back on him, or will she complete the mating and become like him so they can be together forever?

In Heat: Mating Call
Felicity Heaton
The English winter weather has no chance of cooling Kim down when her dreams of Erik return, and this time they’re hotter than ever! Having spent the past two years waiting to be in heat again so she can mate with her black panther shape-shifter lover, Erik Blackwell, Kim is excited about the prospect that she’s ready at last. But there’s one thing that she isn’t ready for…
The handsome white tiger shape-shifter that walks into their visions and then into their life, proclaiming himself to be her potential mate too!
Torn between two lovers and unable to stop herself from joining in the carnal pleasures in their visions, will Kim be able to resist the lure of Kristian in real life? Will Erik believe everything that happens or will he see past the lies to the truth and fight for the woman he loves?

Crave (Vampire Erotic Theatre Romance Series #2) now available on Amazon Kindle & I’m back!
I’m officially working my way back to, well, work now that I’m all recovered from my ear operation that happened two weeks ago. I feel as though I’ve really neglected my blog and my Facebook and Twitter, and while part of me still wants to laze around reading books, playing my new PS Vita, and just chilling out, the rest of me is now quite eager to get back on the work wagon and get things moving forward again.
Have you all missed me?
I bet your inboxes were looking nice and tidy without my blog posts dropping into them if you’re signed up to my feed.
I’ve basically spent the past two weeks doing a combination of things. I’ve read a few new books. I read The Darkest Lie and The Darkest Secret in Gena Showalter’s fabulous Lords of the Underworld series. I read Dance with the Devil in Sherrilyn Kenyon’s Dark Hunter series, and I read Pleasure Unbound by Larissa Ione. Besides reading some fantasitc paranormal romance books, I’ve been spending a lot of time playing my PlayStation 3 (I’m working my way through Prince of Persia) and watching TV, and planning holidays.
I did do some work. I proofed Crave (Vampire Erotic Theatre series #2) and I’ve just finished reading through the first 68000 words I had written of Her Demonic Angel (Her Angel series #5) so it wasn’t all lying around not doing anything.
It took a lot for me to chill out the first week. I had my hubby around to dote on me, and dote on me he did, but I was so bored. I’m no longer used to doing nothing so it was really difficult for me to switch off. Now, I’m the opposite. I’ve finally got myself weened off the intensive work ethic and I’m so into just reading and playing on my PS Vita and PS3 that it’s really hard to get back into working. I’ll get there.
I’ve come back at a really exciting time too, because the next book in the Vampire Erotic Theatre series, Crave, is due for release tomorrow and it’s already available at Amazon Kindle stores. I’m excited not only to see what you guys think of this second book in the series but of the first chapter preview of Seduce that I’ve included at the end of the book.
For those of you who do Kindle (like me) or like to purchase from Smashwords here’s the blurb and the links…
Crave
Felicity Heaton
His mind has been set on his work for the past one hundred years. Now a forbidden beauty has stolen his attention and is threatening to steal his heart too.
Callum has come to the city of romance on business, not pleasure, but when he sets eyes on a gorgeous werewolf in a nightclub, he can’t ignore the dark carnal craving she ignites in him. His work for Vampirerotique, the erotic theatre he runs with three other vampires, can wait. The only thing that matters now is satisfying his sinful hunger for a woman who most vampires would consider an enemy.
Kristina is on the run from her pack. Her alpha is intent on forcing her to bear his child and she’s not about to live through the same nightmare as her mother had. When a tall, dark and sexy vampire catches her eye, she can’t believe the ferocity of the desire he unleashes in her or the fact that she enjoys the feel of his eyes on her and his silent pursuit of her in the clubs each night.
When Kristina finally gets a taste of Callum in a forbidden kiss, will she be strong enough to resist the allure of the vampire and his offer to share his bed for a week of unbridled, wild sex, or will she surrender to her own craving for the safety and passion she finds in his embrace?

Her Angel Spanish translations – Ãngel available now!
My Her Angel romance series is being translated into Spanish by Booket, a division of Grupo Planeta. At the moment, the first three novellas in the Her Angel romance series (Her Dark Angel, Her Fallen Angel and Her Warrior Angel) and Her Guardian Angel are contracted for translation.
The first three novellas were released in a single volume on February 14th 2012. Her Guardian Angel will follow later in the year.
I’m really excited because when I went to see if the book was up on Amazon.es yet this morning, I found that the ebook version was already in the top 1000 on Kindle, and was in the top 100 for Romance.
I’m not sure yet about what sort of distribution it will receive as it’s quite tied down to Spain, but I’ll ask and see if it will be made available on other Amazon sites and in other countries too.
For now, here’s the link to the Amazon Kindle version, and the version on the publisher’s main website, Planeta de Libros.

Covet
Felicity Heaton
They’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 Lilah’s master keep them apart forever?

Heart of Darkness – paperback books and blog tour
Yesterday my paperback copies of HEART OF DARKNESS finally came. This time I was stiffed for import VAT which is very wrong since books are zero rated over here, so someone royally messed up. Turns out CreateSpace hadn’t put anywhere on the box what was actually in it – as in books! The customs people didn’t open the box either to check what the contents were. I’ll be having words with CreateSpace to make sure they label the contents correctly in the future. It makes all the difference. I ended up paying a £20 charge, which is around $35. This means that I can’t sell these copies as I’ll make nothing on them because of the total cost fo each book to me was around $10.60. Since I sell the book for $9.99, I would’ve been better off just buying them from Amazon.com! I guess I’ll use them for giveaways and stuff. Here’s a pretty picture of them anyway:
They look fantastic in the flesh. I’ll see what I can do about selling signed copies of them. It was the VAT that pushed it into the make-no-money realm. Grr. Stupid charges.
In other Heart of Darkness news, the book is now available at Apple iBookstores so you can now purchase it for your iPad, iPhone or from iTunes for download and reading. I’m hoping it will hit Barnes and Noble Nook, Sony Reader Store and possibly Kobo Books soon, although Kobo is being a bitch at the moment about books. I have a few waiting to ship to there and be included in their catalogue.

A vampire prince on a four hundred year old mission to avenge his murdered sister…
Aleksandr Nemov won’t stop until the last of the vampire hunter’s progeny is wiped from the Earth. Each kill has stolen a piece of his humanity, pushing him towards the black abyss all vampires hold within their hearts. Now he is teetering on the edge, close to devolving into a beast, and time is running out as he tracks the last hunter to Prague. There he finds a beautiful woman who could be his one chance for salvation, but is it already too late for him?
A vampire guard who will do whatever it takes to protect those she loves…
Elise is dedicated to her duty. It’s the only thing she has left. All that changes when she meets Aleksandr in Prague and her master grants him permission to stay at her bloodline’s mansion. She knows all about Aleksandr but none of it prepares her for how she feels when the legendary prince’s hunt becomes one for her heart. Elise battles him with all of her strength but can she stop herself from falling for the handsome hunter? When he reveals the depth of the corruption in his soul, will she have the strength to face the pain in her past and do whatever it takes to save him?
