Cassius: Blood Rights was released in September 2011 and is for sale internationally at Amazon, Barnes & Nobles and other online stores – now available in Kindle. This exciting, fast paced book is the first in a new series that begins here, in Toronto’s night time playground and expands to places known by all of us: Aurora, Hamilton and the GTA. Since the main character, Cassius is a good bad guy, partial proceeds from book sales are being donated to the Literacy Council York-Simcoe, an organization that helps English-speaking adults to build their reading, writing, math, computer and employment skills.

Reviews for Cassius: Blood Rights
“My experience was completely consuming. Cassius and company had me from the very beginning. The passion, the plot, the suspense. This story had it all!! I’m anxiously looking forward to Blood of Whitechapel”~ Jim Priestly, York Region
 “Just finished the book a couple days ago - amazing but left me wanting more. More about his earlier life and loves. Please write faster so I can read more.”~ Colleen Shaughnessy, York Region
“Heather Anne Lambert has the ability to fill the gaps left by Anne Rice. I really enjoyed the book and cannot wait for the next installment – I hope there are many more in this series to come!” ~ Melissa Tomhave, California

Writing Process Blog Hop

I would like to thank my friend, Tina D.C. Hayes for tagging me for the Writing Process Blog Hop. 1. What are you currently working on? I have three works in progress, however, one is more “done” than the others. It’s a romantic thriller titled, Love, Lies and Deception (the title has been changed from Undercover Hero ). The tagline for the novel is, “What’s a girl to do when she falls in love with the man whose mission it is to bring her down?” My other two novels are paranormal thrillers which is my usual genre and the genre I’m most comfortable writing in. 2. How does your work differ from others in the genre?   I don’t think Love, Lies and Deception is much different than other works in that genre.

When a Review is not a Review

After receiving plenty of great reviews and ratings for Invisible , yesterday, I went through a rite of passage, I got my first ever one-star review from a reviewer on Goodreads - http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/278254425 . It's okay, really, I'm fine with it. After all, everyone is entitled to their opinion. But what really got to me was the reason why! There is a gay character in my novel. Her name is Charlie and I love her. I think she adds dimension and depth to my novel, but the reviewer hated her. The reviewer's stated "I don't do gay." So I ask, is this really a review or an opportunity for the reviewer to tout her so-called Christian values? All I ask is for a fair review. Review the book as a whole. A one-star review is fine by me, especially when it comes from a narrowminded individual. I would have thought in this day and age that such prejudice and hatred would not be so prevalent.
