L.J. Hayward's Blog, page 3

To celebrate the release of Why the Devil Stalks Death on December 9, I will be doing a little tour around the local blogs.

​December 7 - Joyfully Jay
December 8 - Small Queer, Big Opinions
December 9 - Boy Meets Boy Reviews
December 10 - Love Bytes Reviews
December 11 - The Novel Approach Reviews

I'll be chatting about a few of Jack's favourite places in Sydney, there will be an excerpt and a deleted scene as well as a little introduction to a new character. This, however, is only four posts and I have five stops... 😲

So I'm opening myself up to some questions. If there's something in particular you want to know, leave your question here, at my blog, Plot Happens, or on Twitter (@lj_hayward), and I'll pick some of them to answer in my final blog tour post. I will, of course, reserve the right to answer as vaguely as I wish, or not at all. 😜

Be sure to follow the tour as there will be a chance to win either a complete Death and the Devil catalogue, or a $15US Amazon voucher if you already have all the books. Feel free to enter at every stop and a winner will be picked randomly at the end of the tour.

I hope to see you there!!

… but ARCs have just gone out for Devil in the Details Eek!!



Pre-order details soonish...

**edit to add all the allotted ARCs have been claimed**

How did it get to be October so quickly?? And nearly half way through October at that! It'll be All Hallows Eve before you know it. Speaking of which, October 31st is Devil in the Details release date. Yay!! Eek! Yay!!!

I'm in the process of putting the final touches on the novella and should have it ready for pre-order and ARCs soonish. But in the meantime, it's time to start with the teasing . . . eh, the reveals. ;)

If there’s one thing assassin Ethan Blade knows, it’s how to plan a job. How to study a target, find the weak spot, and strike. He keeps his guns clean, his knives sharp, and his heart sealed away behind more locks than his precious cars. Alone but safe. Until Jack Reardon burrowed his way into Ethan’s life, his car, and his heart. This may just be the deadliest mess he can’t plan his way out of.

Jack wasn’t sure he’d see Ethan again—not after the less-than-stellar ends to their previous hookups. Even finding the assassin skulking about his apartment isn’t as reassuring as it should be, especially when he works out Ethan’s motive for being there might not be personal. That said, Jack will take any chance he can to salvage their relationship, assuming he survives whatever plan Ethan is cooking up.
​
Ethan and Jack had a bargain, but the parameters changed and neither are certain how to move forward—together or apart. But before they can start to renegotiate, lives, trust, and hearts are endangered by ghosts from the past. Even if they dodge their enemies’ bullets, there’s a risk of friendly fire, and when you let someone get too close, even small knives can cut deep.

I'm so excited for people to read this novella. It rounds out the story arc, answers some questions and sets up for book 2, Why the Devil Stalks Death (which is still on track for December 9). There's action with lots of guns (see the cover) and bombs and RPGs, but there's also some quieter, sweeter moments, some heartache and views stunning enough to heal a hurting soul. ;)

I have a limited number of ARCs available for readers, and if you'd like one, just send me a private message (through the website or Goodreads) with your file preference. First come, first served.

Cheers!!
