We’ve got less than two weeks left before Blood Deep is released! I’m being asked if I’m getting excited. Absolutely! And your excitement is most definitely a massive part of that.

When Blood Shadows was released, I had a small following of readers who had found Blackthorn through the New Voices writing competition (from which I was discovered by my publisher). That readership increased by the time Blood Roses came out. Since the release of Blood Torn, Blackthorn’s readership has really surged. That’s all thanks to the fabulous Bookouture constantly getting my series ‘out there’ as well as every reader who is enjoying the series enough to help spread the word.

This is the first time a Blackthorn book has ever been available for pre-order though, so I wasn’t sure what to expect. And, well, I can’t quite believe it but, although it’s not been released yet, Blood Deep is at number 1 in Amazon’s Gothic Romance charts!

It reached number 1 on Amazon.co.uk last weekend…

…with all three other Blackthorn books accompanying it in the top 6.

Then this weekend, it reached number 1 in the Gothic Romance charts on Amazon.com too!

It also reached number 1 on Amazon.com’s Gothic Romance ‘Hot New Releases’!

So THANK YOU to everyone who has already clicked that pre-order button. As you can imagine, I’m thrilled with the response.

We’re almost there now… so that means, as we count down the days, I have a post coming next week to give you a few hints of what to expect with Blood Deep. No spoilers though, I promise!

Enjoy the rest of your weekend. xxx
