September continued to be a fantastic month considering it followed the awesomeness that was August. I decided to extend the offer on Her Dark Angel (Her Angel romance series #1)<\/b><\/a> as I wanted to get it up on Barnes and Noble, the Apple iBookstore and other sites for only $0.99. A few of the blogs that had helped me out with promoting the special offer price of under a dollar helped me out again, and the novella remained in the top 1000 for the entire month on the US Amazon Kindle Store and in the top 300 on the UK Amazon Kindle Store.<\/p>\n

At its peak, Her Dark Angel (Her Angel romance series #1)<\/b><\/a> was at #643 on the US Amazon Kindle Store out of over 835000 books and reached the #10 in Kindle Store <\/i>><\/i> Romance <\/i>><\/i> Fantasy<\/i> and #10 in Books <\/i>><\/i> Romance <\/i>><\/i> Fantasy<\/i>!<\/p>\n

On the UK Amazon Kindle Store, the book reached #145 and was #2 in Books <\/i>><\/i> Fantasy <\/i>><\/i> Paranormal<\/i> and #2 in Books <\/i>><\/i> Romance <\/i>><\/i> Paranormal! <\/i>Also, a few times in the month, all four books in the Her Angel romance series<\/a><\/i> were in the top #1000 at the same time! How cool is that?<\/p>\n

I know some authors complain about authors labelling a book a best seller when they break into a category on Amazon, but I think that being in the top #10 for a category means that Her Dark Angel<\/a><\/b> is now a best selling book, since it was beating many top traditionally published authors. I get it when people call something a best seller that is listed as #73 in some random category, but you can’t begrudge me the pretty label when I’ve broken the top 10 and was #2 for some categories!<\/p>\n

In September I was busy writing. I wrote the first draft of Masquerade (Vampires Realm romance series #10)<\/b> and also the first drafts of Covet (Vampire Erotic Theatre romance series #1)<\/b> and Crave (Vampire Erotic Theatre romance series #2)<\/b> as well as completing Heart of Darkness<\/b>. Heart of Darkness<\/b> is a stand alone vampire romance novel that will be out on October 22nd, so there isn’t long to wait now!<\/p>\n

It was great getting back to writing again. I had really missed it because I’ve been so busy with editing and other author work. I was really thrilled to get Masquerade sorted out too because it’s been such a thorn in my side. There’s still work to do on it to get it to the standard I like to produce and also get it feeling right to me, but that’s what the second draft is for. I’m working on that right now.<\/p>\n

I’m not sure when I’ll be releasing Masquerade<\/b>. I had wanted to get it out before the end of the year, but it might be January now as I want to allow enough time to do a good job on the book and don’t want to rush it. December is creeping up on me really fast too.<\/p>\n

I’ve had some new reviews to share too… mostly for the Her Angel series<\/i><\/a>, but also for Forbidden Blood (Vampire Venators romance series #1)<\/b><\/a>!<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n
“Forbidden Blood is a gripping, dark and sexy ride! From the first sentence to the last I felt so intertwined with the characters and the story that I had to read it in one sitting – unable to break away. The entire story took me through every emotion there is and I loved it… Felicity Heaton has created a story paranormal romance that will spellbind your heart and imagination with the power of betrayal, revenge, love and possible forgiveness. In fact, I find this story worthy of re-reading! Forbidden Blood is that good!”<\/i><\/div>\n

“I highly recommend reading this book in a seat that you can buckle yourself into while having an entire day on your hands. Once you pick up Her Guardian Angel you can\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t put it down. The anticipation of what will happen next will keep the pages turning as fast as you can read them. Heaton does an amazing job of telling a story that is filled with interwoven destinies, curses, deception and a history that some will fight all to see that it is never repeated again. This book is packed with awesomeness. Readers are giving an incredible love story, heaps of action and fighting and a suspenseful story that you are crazy if you don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t run out buy it and read it.”<\/i><\/div>\n
