Out Now! New vampire romance ebook by F E Heaton…

Seventh Circle - Paranormal Romance Seventh Circle
Dark, sensual and fast-paced, Seventh Circle is a story of forbidden love so strong that it will save the world.

Born with strange powers similar to a vampire’s, Lilith has spent her life hunting demons for Section Seven. Now, on the very same night that she watches a vampire kill her best friend, she’s faced with her worse nightmare.

A client who is not only attractive, but a vampire.

Lincoln, a powerful pure blood vampire, has a problem. The prophecy he’s caught up in is coming to pass and his only chance of survival is relying on those he hates most—vampire hunters. It has been foretold that one will save him, a female hunter, and when he meets her, the attraction he feels is both instantaneous and forbidden.

Their mutual attraction becomes difficult to deny as they work to unravel the mystery of a contract between Lincoln’s lord and the Devil. The barriers around their hearts fall, but is there only pain ahead of them? With Lincoln’s life on the line, can Lilith find the strength to protect him and embrace a side of herself that she wished didn’t exist? Can Lincoln overcome his fear in order to save Lilith even if it means parting from her forever? What price will they pay to be together?

Ascension and Arcadian

Posted on 31st October 2008 by Felicity Heaton

Many thanks to everyone who kindly read my story codenamed Ascension and gave me feedback on it. Most of you seemed to feel the same about the story as I did – there’s more to it and it deserves to be a novel. Well, because of this feedback, I have decided to turn the short story into a full novel and I’ll be working on writing that next year, along with another story.

The other story is currently codenamed Arcadian. This will be a long paranormal romance that in my mind will be pushing the 100k words mark. Normally my built in length predictor is pretty on the nose. There’s a lot of story in this one, so it may even go over, but it will end up being edited down to 100k if that is the case.

I don’t really want to say much about either story at this point, only that I’ll be working on them in 2009, and that they’re both paranormal romances with a lot of plot. I’ll be writing Arcadian first, and then following that up with Ascension. I have another story or two that I’ll consider writing at the same time as these, but my focus will be on them first and foremost.

As for the future of both these stories, if they turn out as planned then I will submit them to agents and publishers.

Back to work for me. Seventh Circle, the next Vampires Realm novel, is out on November 16th, and I still have a lot of promotion work and stuff to get ready for it.

Happy Halloween everyone!

New Release – A Promise of Passion by Felicity Heaton

Posted on 19th October 2008 by Felicity Heaton

Out Now! New paranormal romance ebook by Felicity Heaton…

A Promise of Passion - Paranormal Romance A Promise of Passion
A dark, sensual and action packed story of two hearts, united in their passion and desire, but divided by their blood, A Promise of Passion is guaranteed to get your heart racing.

Alicia is a vampire hunter, unable to find a man strong enough to love and accept her for who she is. When Kassian, a tall and seductively handsome vampire walks into her life and vows to protect her, she doesn’t know what to think or feel. His eyes make promises that his searing touch backs up, but she can’t get past the fact that he’s a vampire and the fact that he thinks she’s someone else.

Kassian is certain from the moment he sets eyes on Alicia that she’s the reincarnation of his lost love and sire, and he’ll stop at nothing to convince her and make her his again. A taste of her blood makes him realise his mistake but doesn’t change his feelings or his resolve to have her.

Their mutual attraction is impossible to resist but a moment of passion places Alicia in the path of danger when Seth, the vampire responsible for murdering Kassian’s sire, sets his sights on her. When Alicia is dragged into a game of human sport, how far will Kassian go to protect his love? Can he save her or will history repeat itself?

Price: $0.99

New stories, and finished stories, and submissions

Posted on 30th August 2008 by Felicity Heaton

I’ve been quite busy recently, working through a mixture of writing, editing, and preparing submissions. It’s all a mixture of projects too, most of which will be available next year. Actually, all of it will probably be next year’s releases.

On the writing front, I have finished writing the next Vampires Realm release after Seventh Circle, which will be Winter’s Kiss. Winter’s Kiss follows a Watchman of Validus and a young woman whom he desired to turn. The young woman is attacked by a werewolf and the vampire rescues her but not before she’s been bitten by the werewolf, and essentially turned. It all turns a little frantic after that and there’s lots of my trademark UST 🙂

Speaking of Vampires Realm, I again toyed with the idea of submitting Seventh Circle to agents and publishers, and have (after a lot of preparation including writing a synopsis!) decided against it. It’s so difficult when it’s a story that is part of an ongoing series. I could have changed the story so it was a stand alone, but I didn’t want to do that. When it comes to stories to submit to publishers, I’ll focus on my series I’ll be writing next year instead.

Following the popularity and success of my Sons of Lyra series, I have planned and started writing a Daughters of Lyra series. At the moment, they’re running at a little longer than the Sons of Lyra stories. I think they’ll be an average of 18,000 words. The series follows one daughter from each of the four sons from the first series. I’ve already written two of the stories during my week off dog-sitting last week. I managed to clock in around 34,000 words written which is brilliant. A normal week for me is around 25,000.

The weekend I released Sons of Lyra: Stranded I submitted a second story to Harlequin’s Nocturne Bites series. This time it’s a werewolf story and I’m far more pleased with this submission than the first one I sent. I think this time I sounded more professional and sold the story better, and I do think this story is probably more suited to the line.

I think that’s about all in terms of writing from me. I’ve just discovered that there’s a new episode of Macross Frontier out online and I neeeed to watch it. I’m so addicted!

Here’s some tallys on the stories I finished this week…

Winter’s Kiss
67,726 / 65,000
[104.2%]
Daughters of Lyra 1
18,652 / 18,000
[103.6%]
Daughters of Lyra 2
23,043 / 18,000
[128%]

sick and busy

Posted on 3rd August 2008 by Felicity Heaton

Well it’s one illness on top of another right now but I’m not going to let it slow me down! I currently have an ear infection (for two weeks now I’ve been practically deaf in one ear. very annoying) and now I have a cold too, which is make me doubly grouchy!

It didn’t stop me from writing last week though. I finally found my flow with Winter’s Kiss, the next Vampires Realm novel after Seventh Circle, and was writing at every available opportunity last week. Those opportunities included grabbing 30 minutes in starbucks each morning before work and snagging the odd 40 minutes after work in starbucks too. It’s costing me a lot in starbucks right now! The up side to this was that I wrote over 31000 words this week, which makes me smile, and means that I now have around 20000 words to write before this story is finished.

Once I’ve finished writing the first draft of Winter’s Kiss, I’ll move on to writing Arcadian, which is my next free serial and needs a proper title.

I’ve recently finished writing a third attempt at a Nocturne Bite. I’m much happier with this one, but I’m still not holding my breath since I don’t think I write the Harlequin style. I also have my second attempt to send off to them but just haven’t had the time to finish writing up my submission and preparing the manuscript to send over to them. I’ll hopefully manage to do that next weekend and send it off. By the time I hear back, I’ll have the third one ready to send in. I think I’m done after that as I just don’t have time to write anymore. I need to focus on the stories I’ll be releasing next year, which will provide me cover while I write my new series.

I have a few stories to write for next year. Winter’s Kiss will be an early 2009 release. I have another mini-series of short stories to write too and potentially another Vampires Realm novel. Of Blood & Snow will be edited and released in 2009.

That’s me for now…

Two new book covers and a writing update…

Posted on 6th July 2008 by Felicity Heaton

I have two new covers to show everyone. One is for the next Vampires Realm novel, Seventh Circle, and the other is for a short vampire romance story, A Promise of Passion, which I wrote for the new Nocturne Bites ebook line from Harlequin. They rejected it but that’s not surprising considering that I don’t really write Harly style. Lots of lovely readers have assured me that the story will be kick ass and it’ll hit number 1 at Fictionwise regardless of what Harly thought of it. I love my readers. You guys rock!

New covers…

It’s always exciting to have new artwork to show off and I love making covers for my stories.

I’ve been really busy recently with writing. I have a new series that I’m currently planning and that’s taking up a lot of time. I’m also editing a number of short stories, but thankfully I’ve made good progress there and I’m almost done with them. I have started a new story, actually two new stories, one of which is definitely being written as it’s the next Vampires Realm story after Seventh Circle. The other story is one which I’m toying with for a free serial read for you guys once Of Blood and Snow is complete. It’s another demon/paranormal/vampire romance as epic as my current free serial.

Here’s some tallys…

Winter’s Kiss
8,962 / 60,000
[14.9%]

Embracing The Wolf
13,599 / 13,599

Book of the Vampire / VR Novel

Posted on 19th May 2008 by Felicity Heaton

My sister’s boyfriend works for a book printer and sometimes gets to bring home sample books. I’ve had a how to draw book from him and also a manga, but never anything as cool as this. Today he came around and dropped off “Book of the Vampire” by Nigel Suckling. It’s probably out now or due out soon. Nigel is the UKs bigwig on vampires. The book is basically a look at the history of the vampire and the legends that it came from. It looks really interesting so far and I can’t wait to get into it. It’s bound to inspire me to write different types of vampires. I probably can’t go any darker with them as I already write rather dark vampires as it is, but it will help me lend new twists to them.

I’ve edited 100 pages of VR Novel so far this week. It’s really just a proof read now to pick up mistakes and fix some little things. I think that I’ll have finished the proof read by this weekend and will be able to move onto writing the synopsis, which isn’t going to be fun!

Of Blood and Snow – vampire romance story

Posted on 17th May 2008 by Felicity Heaton

This week, I finished writing Of Blood and Snow which is currently being posted as a free serial on one of my websites. It was 31 chapters in the end and 98000 words. I’ve only reached chapter 22 in my posting of this story. It’s great to have it finished. I need to edit these final chapters now to get them ready for posting and then I need to decide what to do with the story. I’ve never promised that it would always remain a free story, and I think it’s a story that is very sellable and people would buy it. It’s always a tough decision to make, especially because I’ve enjoyed posting it and getting feedback from readers about it.

This week, I also finished editing the second story in my Sons of Lyra mini-series. Oddly, it ended up being precisely the same length as the first story, Sons of Lyra: Slave Princess, which is available from Fictionwise at a discount of 15% right now – http://www.fictionwise.com/eBooks/eBook67530.htm

I still need to finish writing the 3rd and 4th stories in the series. I’m also toying with writing a Daughters of Lyra series for this generation of sons children. I’ll see how popular these ones get before I make a decision. It will basically be set 20-25 years on from this series. I’m seriously considering it though.

Off to update my website. I’ve got some programming bits and bobs that I want to do to it… fancy stuff.

In progress (Sci-Fi Romance Series, Vampire Romance free read)

Posted on 19th April 2008 by Felicity Heaton

Well, I’ve returned from my birthday trip to Tokyo and it’s about time I updated my blog again. I get so behind with everything these days. It all seems to take longer than you expect!

You may remember from my last post that I was writing a Sci-Fi romance, my first foray into this new territory. It was only supposed to be a short story, and it has remained as one, but it did manage to give birth to/spawn a series. You see, the hero in the story is a Son of Lyra, the royal bloodline that rules the Lyra system and a good quantity of the universe. Well, when I mentioned in the story that Captain Lyra III is the last of the four infamously handsome Sons of Lyra to get married, my muse perked up. He now wants me to write the stories of how the other three stunning and perfect examples of male beauty and strength were caught by their respective wives.

Since I started work again on Tuesday of this week, I’ve finished the first story (Captain Lyra III’s, although I’ve since decided to add more to it), and I’ve started and finished the second story (Captain Lyra II’s) and have began writing the third story (Captain Lyra I). The order in which they would be released isn’t dictated by my writing order of their position within the family heirarchy of brothers. It’s, of course, dictated by their order of marriage. Yes, this means that the first story I wrote will be the last to be released. Typical of me to write backwards!

So, what can you look forward to in the Sons of Lyra series?

First up will by Captain Lyra II’s story, since he started the whole sordid marriage affair! The second will be Heir Prince Lyra I’s story, since I think the poor guy needs to get off-planet, escape the clutches of his demanding parents, and find himself a woman to love rather than be lumbered with an arrange marriage. The third story belongs to the youngest of the brothers, Lyra IV, who is in training to become a captain like his next two eldest brothers. The fourth belongs to the darling and dashing Captain Lyra III… who is suffering a similar fate to his eldest brother as his parents have arranged a marriage for him, even though he’s in love with someone else… it’s his own fault for being too damn chicken to act on his feelings.

All have risque moments and all have that glorious HEA. I’m really enjoying writing these, though it means finishing Of Blood & Snow has been put on the backburner a touch. For those fans of Of Blood & Snow that are reading this–don’t fear! I have a few chapters in my store that I can post before I run out and have to write damn fast to satisfy your voracious hunger for the story!!

I’m really hoping that any readers I have will enjoy these little sci-fi romance snaps. They’re all going to be short, under 15000 mostly, but they’ll make good reads, honest 🙂

Now I have another million things to update so best get on with it!
