Urban Fantasy Romance Ebooks
Maria was reading about Urban Fantasy the other day and mentioned it to me as a book genre. I’ve read about Urban Fantasy before and thought about writing it, but what she said made me think again. She mentioned that Prophecy: Child of Light could be considered an Urban Fantasy Ebook in a way as, although it’s strictly a Paranormal Romance Ebook / Dark Fantasy, it does have magic and an urban location.
What does Urban Fantasy mean? Well, Urban Fantasy Ebooks differ from Traditional Fantasy on one core plotline – its magic in an city/urban environment, generally contemporary. Traditional Fantasy Ebooks are magic in a non-Earth environment – usually a world created by the author, or even an alternate dimension.
Examples of Urban Fantasy are stories like Jim Butcher’s ‘Dresden Files’ series, which is set in Chicago.
In a way, the Prophecy Trilogy are Urban Fantasy Ebooks, well, more like Dark Urban Fantasy / Paranormal Romance Ebooks. They have the locale, the magic, but also the darkness required by Dark Fantasy, and the vampire/werewolf element required by Paranormal. Heavens, this is all getting confusing! lol.
I’d always wanted to write an Urban Fantasy, and I guess I just have. Score one for me 🙂
I have other more Traditional Fantasy stories that I want to write, books about a different world to ours, one where magic is very open and accepted, and being a witch or wizard is being raised up in society to the level of royalty.
If anyone has read Prophecy: Child of Light, and wants to comment about whether they think it matches Urban Fantasy, do let me know by commenting!

My next story in the Prophecy Trilogy, Prophecy: Caelestis and Aurorea, has just received its first reviews and they’re both corkers!
Continuing in the footsteps of Prophecy: Child of Light was going to be a difficult task for the second book in my opinion, since that first book has received so many great reviews, including a glowing 5 angel Recommended Read from Fallen Angel Reviews.
Thankfully, I needn’t have worried since so far, Prophecy: Caelestis & Aurorea has garnered itself two 5 star reviews, one of which is a Fallen Angel Reviews Recommended Read!
Lena C @ Fallen Angel Reviews gave it 5 Angels & a Recommended Read!
“Prophecy and Valentine are back in the second book of the Prophecy series. As I’ve said before in my first review, this author, F E Heaton has a very imaginative mind in her for creating a world where vampires, wolves and magic combine making a beautiful paranormal story. I fell in love all over again with Prophecy for in the first story she seemed naïve, young and innocent about the vampire world. She is mature now and knows that the only one in her life that means anything to her is Valentine. Here is a young woman who is finding out that the only way to get things done is by yourself and not to let fear overcome you. I loved this story and can’t wait for the third one in this series for I am anxious to see how they will overcome the final battle and can Prophecy find Valentine.” (read the whole review here)
Anita @ The Romance Studio gave it 5 Hearts
“Prophecy is a fascinating vampire trilogy. Caelestis & Aurorea is the second installment in this highly imaginative and truly creative tale. Readers will need to read these stories in order to really understand and fully enjoy what is taking place. This fast paced tale will totally captivate the readers and maintains their interest throughout this exciting story… The action is non stop and some times quite brutal in description. These are vampires at war and they hold nothing back as they battle with sword, fang and claw. The excitement and intrigue is easy to become totally absorbed in as the story progresses. Readers are in for some surprises that will take them completely unaware and leave them anxiously awaiting the next book in the Prophecy trilogy. Caelestis and Aurorea by F.E. Heaton is a fascinating adventure and amazingly creative addition to the world of vampire romance and readers are highly encouraged to add it to their reading list.” (read the whole review here)
I’m thrilled, and spent a good part of this weekend bouncing around my house grinning like a loon and squeeing!

Bestseller Paranormal Romance Ebook!
Wow, just read through the blog and realised that I hadn’t been crowing about these reviews and the fact that Prophecy: Child of Light spent three weeks in the Fictionwise.com Bestseller list! It was amazingly exciting to see it there. Made me so proud. I really hope the second book in the trilogy, Prophecy: Caelestis & Aurorea can live up to it!
Here’s some reviews I had recently for Prophecy: Child of Light
“The first in a new epic vampire series. The characters were wonderfully crafted; both Prophecy and Valentine take on realism in your mind. The story line is very creative…This is the first book of Ms. Heaton’s that I have read. I really enjoyed the whole adventure and I’m waiting for more in this dark new series.” — Connie Devaney, Paranormal Romance (read the whole review)
“Ms. Heaton’s novel Prophecy: Child of Light starts this series of with a bang. The characters are extremely interesting and have depth. The story is very unique and I’ve never ready anything like it. It has a minor Romeo and Juliet theme going on, but has a very dark and dangerous undertone…Even with so many pages the book is a quick read and leaves you wanting more. I can’t wait to read the next book – Prophecy: Caelestis & Aurorea.” — Tammie King, Night Owl Romance — 4.5 Stars (read the whole review)
“Wonderfully imaginative this story seems to fly from beginning to end. Readers will be left anxiously waiting for the next installment in Prophecy’s story. For exciting action and romance as well as amazing creativity readers are encouraged to look for Prophecy: Child of Light by F.E. Heaton.” — Anita, The Romance Studio — 4 hearts (read the whole review)
Needless to say I was thrilled!

Well, I’ve got my first bestseller. Prophecy: Child of Light is currently at Number 10 in the Fictionwise Bestsellers List, and is now Number 9 in the Fictionwise Romance List. (it was number 7). Needless to say I’m very excited about that. I can’t believe the great attention this story has received. It’s technically a bestseller. lol. Check it out here: http://www.fictionwise.com/eBooks/eBook44209.htm
I’m really hoping that book two, Prophecy: Caelestis & Aurorea, lives up to the first one. Dear God, what are you all gonna make of Venturi? Well, love him or hate him, he’s an integral character. Personally, I think he’s brilliant.
I’ve just finished writing the first draft of book three, Prophecy: Dark Moon Rising. I’m reading it through now before sending it off to the ever-lovely Maria so she can give me her much needed opinion of it.

It’s almost time!
It’s almost time for the release of Prophecy: Child of Light! I’m really hoping that it will get as good a reception from the readers as it has been from the reviewers. Fingers crossed.
I’m planning a really good shindig to celebrate its release. As you’ll all probably know, I’m holding the all-day launch party at the Love Romances Cafe. I’ll be invading it with my vampires in tow, and plenty of fun and competitions to keep the readers having a good time. I’ll post more about my plans nearer the time, probably on Friday, and in the groups on Saturday so people know where to find the real party this weekend!
I’ve just finished updating the site with the reviews, an excerpt of Prophecy: Child of Light and other bits and bobs. Site maintenance doesn’t half take up some time.
I’ll be working this weekend while hosting the chat too. Multitasking at its finest 🙂
Speak again soon!

The first reviews are in!
Yes, the first reviews are in and what a relief! I’ve been panicking about the reviews for Prophecy: Child of Light since I first sent it out into the world in ARC form. Maria told me so many times not to worry…she’s told me repeatedly that the story is great and people would see it…turns out she was right.
The first review was good, a 4.5 star from Ecataromance.com
“The twists and turns in this suspense filled story will keep your attention. This first book of the Vampires Realm definitely made me sit up and take notice and I’m already eagerly anticipating the next in the series.” — Trang, Ecataromance.com (read the whole review)
The second review has got me squeeing like crazy.
I just got my first Fallen Angels Reviews Recommended Read!
They gave Prophecy: Child of Light 5 angels and a Recommended Read
“F.E. Heaton is one person that can kick butt when it comes to magic and the paranormal. Valentine has never seen the likes of Prophecy before but something in her blood speaks to him in a way that even his sire has never done before. This is the first in a series that this reviewer is going to keep an eye out for. There is a war that is starting and only Prophecy can defeat another dangerous vampire. I loved Valentine’s part in this book and though there was no ending but a continuation of what is to come readers will be enchanted with F.E. Heaton’s imagination and her way of pulling you into this world and different places so easily you will not want to put it down. Don’t let the page count (525 pgs) scare you for once you start reading you’re not even going to remember the pages it pulls you in wanting to know what Prophecy and Valentine are going to do. Awesome job F.E. Heaton and I can’t wait for the second in the series.” — Lena C, FAR (read the whole review)
I really don’t know how to thank you guys for giving me these great reviews. I’m thrilled, stunned and it’s made my day soooo much brighter!
Prophecy: Child of Light is available from March 3rd. Don’t forget to join me at the Love Romances Cafe on March 3rd all day to celebrate the release of this story and the launch of Vampires Realm.
