Blood Dark at Number One!
Thank you to everyone who joined in with Blood Dark’s release day yesterday. You made it into an absolutely fantastic day for me. Your enthusiasm was infectious!
The day started at nine o’clock and I was still chatting to my fabulous readers past midnight. Even my writing buddy (and my hubbie) gave up and went to be in the end!
I’m absolutely delighted that reviews are already being posted for Blood Dark and am thrilled with the response so far. I want to say an extra special thank you to everyone who has already taken the time to do that, or who is planning to. One review in particular was even posted on Bookouture’s Facebook page, so huge congrats to author Lindsey Clarke. Her review was immense and you can read it on Lindsey’s website here.
It also appears that Fiona’s Book Reviews, the first review I received for Blood Dark, is being considered for an award by Bookouture for the quickest turn around in Bookouture history for a book to be downloaded, read and reviewed! So the highest of high fives to Fiona for that feat!
I’m also really excited to tell you that I got word this morning that Blood Dark has reached the number one spot in Gothic on both Amazon UK and Amazon US!! So a massive, massive thank you to every single person who has downloaded the eBook or ordered the paperback. This doesn’t happen without you.
I’ll be back tomorrow to tell you how you could be in with a chance of winning a signed paperback of Blood Dark from me. Have a wonderful day and I hope there weren’t too many sleepless nights last night! xxx

Oh wow! I don’t do it for the recognition but that’s made my day! Xx
I know you don’t, Fiona, but I’m soooo pleased for you! I hope you know I expect the same for Blood Instinct now that you’ve set a precedent. 😉 Thanks again for such a brilliantly positive review. xx
I just went on a roller coaster of a ride and I gotta say I want more like now… No seriously I don’t want to leave the Blackthorn world! Great Job on this book. I have submitted my review at Amazon in the US. Thanks for the great journey and now I guess it’s time for me to tell my kids they can talk again and that I will feed them and answer to the name mom. Just kidding that’s what all the premade meals were for… I swear they ate! 😜
Hi Naomi. Ah, what a complement. That’s so wonderful to hear – thank you! And LOL, I’ll believe you. 😉
Thank you so much for submitting a review – I deeply appreciate you doing that. It hasn’t appeared yet but I’ll keep a look out. 🙂
Amongst all the stuff I’ve written on the Into the World of Blackthorn group, just wanted to say your writing bunny buddy is verrrry cute 🙂
Aww, thank you, Julia. She came to me as a rescue bunny seven years ago (she was 18 months old then) and barely leaves my side. She’s a lovely companion – when she’s not nibbling my ankles for attention!
Thank you Lindsay for another home run. As soon as Blood Dark loaded onto my Kindle, it was devoured. There were a couple of moments where my heart was in my throat with worry. I agree with the rest of the readers in their love of Blackthorn and the wonderful inhabitants. I’m so invested in each and everyone of your characters. I will re-read the other books until the next one is released and devoured like this one.
Thank you so, so much, Carol. I’m thrilled you enjoyed Blood Dark as much as my other Blackthorn books – despite those worrying moments! And to hear you’re invested in each of the characters is just fantastic. I’ll get Blood Instinct to you as soon as possible, I promise. I hope you enjoy your re-reads in the interim! Thanks hugely for taking the time to stop by to comment. 🙂
