The author remembers being five years old and sitting under the table in the kitchen from where she used her crayons to write and draw the stories brewing in her mind. As she matured, her love for fantasy grew.
She also noted that she was primarily drawn to vampire fiction. It did not take Bella Forrest long to realize that there was no better career for her than publishing. As a young student, creative writing was her favorite subject. And even when she wasn’t in school, Bella was always jotting stories down in her notepad.
She was 16 when her first idea for a novel came to her. By the time she sat down to write ‘A Shade of Vampire’, Bella had spent years thinking about it. As such, it only took her a month to write it. She knew the characters and the plot so well that the story practically wrote itself.
Bella cannot tell you where the idea for that first book came from. In fact, she doesn’t know where her other ideas come from. She is convinced that some of her characters are inspired by real people. But for the most part, she doesn’t have a particular source of inspiration.
She takes pride in her imagination which, she believes, is her biggest strength. It doesn’t take the author long to craft new ideas for plots and storylines. However, organizing those ideas into a cohesive story is easier said than done, which is why Bella takes the time to outline her novels.
This allows the author to sift through her ideas to identify those that have merit and the ones that must be discarded. She doesn’t take the harsh criticisms that some of her novels attract personally.
She believes that her readers have a right to express any negative emotions her work has elicited. She is also grateful that they went through the trouble of reading her work. Bella knows that fiction is subjective and that she cannot expect every single person to perceive her stories the same way.
Bella’s foray into indie publishing was intentional. When she wrote ‘A Shade of Vampire’, she decided to ignore agents and publishing houses in favor of self-publishing the novel. The decision paid off.
Bella has sold millions of copies of her books. The fact that she has attained so much success surprises her fans because Bella is a mystery. No one knows who she is because she has gone to great lengths to protect her privacy.
Some people have speculated that Bella Forrest is a pen name that represents a collection of writers. This theory was born from the fact that Bella writes far too many novels each year. Some of her readers are not convinced that a single writer can maintain such an explosive pace, not when she has to write, edit, and market the novels herself.
Bella imputes some of her success to the fact that she does the bulk of her writing from 1 AM to 7 Am. Her schedule is hectic but it works for her.
Best Bella Forrest Books
Bella’s favorite novels include ‘The Hobbit’, ‘The Chronicles of Narnia’, and ‘Harry Potter’. Some of the best books in the author’s bibliography include:
A Shade of Vampire: Sofia was just an ordinary 17-year-old girl walking along the beach on a quiet evening when she was kidnapped, taken to an uncharted island, and enslaved by the world’s most powerful coven. Now Sofia knows her fate.
She has been chosen to join Derek Novak’s harem. But Sofia doesn’t necessarily fear the dark prince’s lustful gaze.
A Shade of Blood: Sofia thought her life was over. Vampires had taken her to an island where the sun did not shine. There, she remained, powerless under the thumb of the most powerful coven in the world. Sofia had no real hope of escaping the nightmare. But something changed in Derek’s heart. He now offers her a gift no other girl in her position has ever received.
