\"Her<\/a><\/div>\n

My fantastic offer on my angel romance novella Her Dark Angel<\/b><\/a> made August very special for me. It was the first time I had managed to break into the top 1000 on the US Kindle Store. At its peak, Her Dark Angel<\/b><\/a> reached #735<\/b> out of over 750000 books and was #11 in Kindle Store <\/i>><\/i> Romance <\/i>><\/i> Fantasy<\/i> and #12 in Books <\/i>><\/i> Romance <\/i>><\/i> Fantasy<\/i>. It would have been wonderful to break into the top 10 in those categories but I’m sure I’ll manage it soon.<\/p>\n

On the UK Kindle Store, Her Dark Angel<\/a><\/b> reached #320<\/b> out of the hundreds of thousands of books listed there and ranked at #2 in Books <\/i>><\/i> Fantasy <\/i>><\/i> Paranormal<\/i>, #7 in Books <\/i>><\/i> Fantasy >Romance<\/i> and #7 in Books <\/i>><\/i> Romance > Paranormal<\/i>.<\/p>\n

Her Dark Angel<\/b><\/a> is still only $0.99 and is a great introduction to my best selling angel romance series Her Angel<\/i><\/a>. Since I’m offering this book at a $2.00 discount, you can get the entire series in e-book for less than $11 right now!<\/p>\n

Since the release of Her Guardian Angel<\/b><\/a>, the fourth book in my Her Angel<\/i><\/a> series, I’ve been scribbling down ideas for the next novel, Her Demonic Angel<\/b>. It’s going to be as big, emotional and hard-hitting as Her Guardian Angel<\/b><\/a>, so you had better all prepare yourself. This time, you’ll probably need to make sure you’ve read Her Guardian Angel<\/b><\/a> so you know enough about the world to really enjoy the plot to the maximum degree.<\/p>\n

Her Guardian Angel<\/b><\/a> has started receiving reviews at various book blogs and it’s doing great so far. I think reviewers are really surprised by the depth of the plot and just how emotional the book is, and also the course the series is taking. I had promised that it was going to be one heck of a thrill ride and I think I delivered. It’s great to see it doing so well, getting four and five star reviews, and it makes me happy as I put so much effort into making it original and I had wanted to write something with emotional punch. Yes, I know most of my stories play on the readers emotions, but this one is really intense and the action and pace is super-fast. Here are snippets from some of the reviews:<\/p>\n

“I feel like this book has changed the entire dynamic of the universe Felicity Heaton has created.\u00c2\u00a0 Something big is introduced and if the series continues I can see it having huge impact on the overall battle between heaven and hell. The battles are big, the love is\u00c2\u00a0even bigger\u00c2\u00a0and the betrayals our heroes face is game-changing. Just the way I like my romances.”<\/span><\/i><\/div>\n

“This book had me glued to the pages. It was an unputdownable read with an array of characters that you feel an instant connection with, a swoon worthy hero who risks it all for the woman he loves, and a strong heroine who will fight right along side him, this book truly has it all.”<\/span><\/i><\/div>\n

“I LOVED this book!! It has to be the best in the series so far. I couldn’t put it down. I read the whole thing in one sitting, and used a box of Kleenex in the process. I swear I cried my way through it, and was a total emotional train wreck by the end of it all. But it made for an amazing read!… You have to grab a copy, it will awe you.”<\/span><\/i><\/div>\n

Awesome, huh?<\/p>\n

August also saw me complete the second draft of my upcoming vampire romance book, Heart of Darkness<\/b>. Heart of Darkness<\/b> is a stand alone vampire romance novel, and features one of my favourite heroes, Aleksandr. He’s a bit of a rake and a little behind the times on modern women because he’s spent the past four hundred years focusing on hunting the vampire hunters that plague his species, but Elise, the heroine, whips him into shape as he pursues her like a predator chasing prey. Heart of Darkness<\/b> will be out on October 22nd, so make sure you pencil it into your diaries!<\/p>\n

I also had a great chat with fellow author Candy Nicks \/ Alexandra Marell and hit upon a great idea for a trio of very hot vampire erotic romance novellas. I quickly typed out around 6000 words of outline for the three novellas and now that I have the stories set out on paper and in my head, I’ll be writing them soon.<\/p>\n

Masquerade<\/b>, the tenth book in my vampire romance series, Vampires Realm<\/i><\/a>, has taken another bump because of the novellas ideas I have, so I’ll be pushing that down the queue. Since the trouble it gave me that forced me to stop writing it at 30000 words in and made me re-evaluate the plot of this vampire romance novel, I’ve spent time writing down new ideas for the improved plot and figuring out how to overcome the problems I thought it had in terms of characters. I’ve got everything together for it now and I just need to rewrite the outline to include all the new plot ideas and changes I want to make and then I’ll be ready to start writing it. Thankfully most of the 30000 words I had already written is still usable. <\/p>\n

I think that was all my writing news for August. It was a really eventful and busy month for me, and now I have a new trio of vampire erotic romance novellas to write, September and the rest of the year will be just as busy!<\/p>\n
