It’s BLOOD DARK release day!!!

To mark the occasion, I’m very excited to be making a guest appearance with Kim The Bookworm today. So please do come and visit if you can!

“Today is publication day for Lindsay J. Pryor’s Blood Dark – the fifth book in the paranormal romance Blackthorn series. The first book in the series is called Blood Shadows and as a newbie to this genre, I tentatively picked it up and read it not really knowing what to expect and not expecting it to be my thing. OH MY GOD! I was completely blown away by it. I got completely immersed from the first page and didn’t want it to end. I fell in love with the characters, some more than others! And oh boy, it was hot, hot, hot!

If you’ve not yet started this series, and you like this genre, I highly recommend that you have a read of Blood Shadows and work your way through them all till you get to Blood Dark. By that time, I’m sure the next one will be ready for you as Lindsay is working on it right now. 

Lindsay has such an amazing following for this series, her readers are the most awesome I’ve ever come across and some were even taking publication day off work so that they could spend the day reading Blood Dark. Now that’s dedication for you!”

And Kim is absolutely right about all my incredible readers. Thank you for the tremendous support that has been piling in today and this week, whether here, via email, my Facebook Page, the Into the World of Blackthorn discussion group, or Twitter – I’m going to catch up with everyone individually as soon as I can. Until then, relax and enjoy your next installment into Blackthorn. I know some of you have waited a very, very long time for this.

On a personal note, it’s a bit of an emotional one for me this time around as it was exactly five years ago last night that I first unleashed Blackthorn on anyone, entering Blood Roses into the New Voices writing competition that led to me being discovered by my publisher, Bookouture. I still vividly remember my finger hovering over the ‘send’ button right up to the last five minutes. I was so anxious about sharing my series for the first time (let alone on a public forum to be commented on and voted for), that I nearly let the nerves get the better of me. If I had, I’m not even sure Blackthorn would be out there now. So here’s a massive thank you to my wonderful husband for making sure I clicked that button – and Bookouture for bringing Blackthorn to you. 🙂

Before I go, I want to give a shout out to three of my lovely readers:

Happy Birthday for today, Sue!

Happy Birthday in advance for Sunday, Carla!

And Happy 43^rd Wedding Anniversary, Debra!

Just to pre-warn you, on Friday I’m going to be launching a giveaway to win a SIGNED PAPERBACK COPY – so stay close for that one!

Have a wonderful day, everyone! Happy reading!
