Exciting times ahead
Wow,
I've been so busy this week getting all sorts of wonderful things in place and I have to admit I am loving all of these crazy days and making big plans!
This week I have had confirmation that I have a seat at the Second City Signing event being held in Birmingham, UK, next July. I'm so excited, this will be my first ever signing event and I absolutely cannot wait to interact with other authors as well as the readers.
I intend to be offering signed copies, along with free gifts and prizes to those who want to come and buy my books, and all five in my Black Rose series will be available by then so I shall be selling box-sets for new readers as well.
If any of you are in the area and fancy coming to say hi, please do! I'm happy to sign copies that people might already own, and it would be fantastic to hear any feedback on the series at the same time.
I have some more exciting news coming your way, dearest blog-browsers, but for now I am keeping it to myself :-)

Cover Reveal and blurb for book 4!
Wow, I'm so excited to show you guys the new cover for book 4 in my Black Rose series, Destined for Darkness! It will be released on 1st December 2014
Let me know what you think :-)
Here's the blurb -
Cate Rose, the omnipotent Dark Queen and ruler of Hell is torn. Her only brother, Devin Black, has betrayed her trust and gone behind her back in order to further his own supremacy on Earth. Not content with just being the powerful leader of their secretive dark order, the Crimson Brotherhood, Devin wants more and it seems he has gone to great lengths to try and obtain it.
While the young demon, and Cate’s eldest son’s fiancée Tilly, recovers from yet another near death experience, this time at her own omnipotent hands, Cate has an important decision to make. But, which future will she choose to bestow on her brother? Should Cate place her trust in the demon that has abused his position so treasonously? Or can she forgive his selfishness and give him the chance to atone by making the ultimate sacrifice? Allowing Devin his much-desired prize of an earthly throne will come at a price, but will Lucifer’s eldest son be ready to make the deal of a lifetime?
In this, the fourth instalment of the Black Rose series, you will learn more about the Crimson Brotherhood and its history, significance and the changes they will have to bring about in order to achieve the all important balance that each and every being atop the Hellish and Heavenly thrones are working hard to accomplish.
Get ready for the darkest instalment of the Black Rose series!
***PLEASE NOTE*** Please be aware that this novel depicts explicit sexual relationships between consenting adults, including romantic suspense and instances of forced consent. It may not be suitable for those under the age of 18.

Saturday morning musings...
So,
I've been taking a lot of time out from the actual writing side of this author lark to put some effort into networking and I have to admit that so far it really seems to be paying off. I've met some great fellow authors and avid readers and I've had a good boost in sales, especially for the first novel in my series which is great because then (fingers crossed) if the reader likes it they will then be looking to buy the next one, and so on.
I've gone into this whole self-published-author thing with a very real expectation as to my goals, I know that the viewing public might like, loathe, be unsure or downright uninterested in my work and I'm okay with that. My novels aren't for every one, there are dark themes, the concepts of religion have been completely spun off in crazy angles and I haven't shied away from intense, romantic scenes. I know that not everyone will like it, but I am very grateful for those of you out there who are giving it a try, especially those that send me Facebook messages and comment on my page to let me know how much you have enjoyed them!
I'm keeping on going, the fourth book is pretty much done and so far I'm 65k words into the fifth and final book of the Black Rose series. As a whole the story is a wonder even to me, I truly feel for the characters and put myself in their shoes, I feel their happiness and pain deep in my soul, and hope that it is portrayed in my storytelling.
One thing I know for sure, I'm not stopping! If gothic/paranormal romance isn't for you, keep your eyes open because there's much more up my sleeve to come yet xxx

Teaser!! An excerpt from Forever Darkness, Book 3 in the Black Rose series
“You continue to astound me my love, you really do know me so much better than I know myself sometimes. I often wonder just how you could possibly love something so terrible as me? I’ve been a mess ever since the day we met and yet you stayed through it all. What would I ever do without you Harry?” Cate asked, wrapping her arms around him tightly and snuggling into his chest, breathing in his gorgeous natural scent deeply. It still surprised her that he could possibly smell the same even after all these years in Hell, and him now being so far away from the human man she had known all those years ago. And yet, when she closed her eyes and took a deep breath, Cate felt as though she were transported back the almost one-hundred years to his small flat and their tiny little secluded existence on Earth together. She could still picture their small home clearly, hear the sound of the birds singing in the trees outside, smell his freshly laundered bed sheets as they lay wrapped in each other's arms under them and she could even imagine the spring sunshine as it streamed in through the open window and shined in onto his glorious, sexy body. Thinking back to those days made her smile and as she looked up into his deep blue eyes, Cate couldn’t help but fall madly in love with Harry all over again.“Was there ever any doubt in your mind, any question of what I was willing to do or how much I would take in order to be here with you Cate?” he asked, running his strong hands through her long, dark curls and then planting a deep kiss on her red lips.
“Never,” she admitted as he pulled back from his kiss, smiling again at last.
