This wasn’t a scheduled post, but I couldn’t resist sharing some exciting news.

I knew it was going to be fun going global instantly with Bookouture. Part of the reason I was so keen to be a part of the eBook revolution was to have immediate access to readers all around the world. There has been interest in the Blackthorn series from readers in so many countries now, it’s awesome. I’m even going to be interviewed on a blog in the Philippines soon!

Then my publisher got in touch today to let me know that both Blood Shadows and Blood Roses have hit the top 10 bestsellers for Gothic Romance in Germany’s Amazon chart! Blood Roses is at number 9! Blood Shadows is at number 2!! Look, look… 🙂

This is great news following Blood Roses hitting the top 20 in Amazon UK’s Gothic Romance’s bestseller chart on its release – with both Blood Roses and Blood Shadows still remaining in the top 100. Blood Shadows is in the top 100 in the US Amazon Gothic Romance bestsellers charts too.

Unfortunately none of the wonderful ratings and reviews you left for the books have shown up in Germany. But thank you to everybody who continues to rate and leave reviews for my books – especially on Amazon. It really does make a difference.

With the amazing Lorella Belli Literary Agency now representing the translation rights on the first three books of the series, let’s hope that, one day, even more readers will be able to access Blackthorn.

Have a great week, everyone!
