Sacrificed gets 5 stars at Gay. Guy. Reading. And Friends… PLUS an interview!

Warren says: "The second in the Baal’s Heart series is a terrific continuance of the Caged story. It follows Baal’s Heart through the Spires with all the perils that that entails, and takes the ship and the crew into a world that is totally screwy.

[...]

This portion of the series in no way lets up on the action, the romance, and the swashbuckling of the pirates. The adventures the three encounter in this story are imaginative and amazing."

Added bonus! Warren from GGR-Reviews.com interviewed me. :)

Hello Bey! Thank you so much for agreeing to do this interview for/with me. I am really excited to hear about you and your creative processes.
Warren: First of all, would you please tell us a little about your background and your interests; only as much as you feel comfortable telling? Things such as pets, hobbies, your education, and anything else we might find interesting.

Bey: Hm. Let’s see. I’m originally French Canadian, but you’d never know that my first language is French from hearing me talk. Was fully assimilated by the anglos when I moved to Montréal as a kid.
I have a dog named Murphy. He’s what most would consider a pit bull—a muscle-y, short-haired, blocky-headed little guy. He’s my best bud and is almost always by my side. Murph’s a real charmer; everyone loves him.
As for education, well, I have a bachelor’s in Fuck-All (BFA in Art History and part of a degree in Anthropology). I was intending on going back and doing a master’s in Archaeology, but then I somehow wound up in the software industry and was a corporate drone and manager at a big company for over a decade.

Fangirl Moments and My Two Cents give Sarge 4.5 Stars!

Toni says:

"This author's writing is so fresh. I read a lot and sometimes stories feel somewhat recycled, definitely not the case with anything Bey writes.

Sarge is a sci-fi, futuristic, war, BDSM combo. It's short, but the wording is perfect, no repetition, exactly right for bringing the setting to life in our minds. It contains plenty of action to carry the story solely and the perfect amount of sexuality to hook the reader."

A rambly post about romance

I've always sort of cringed at the thought of romance. Flowers, candy, I-Love-Yous... oh... I don't know... walking hand in hand and gazing lovingly into each other's eyes in the moonlight?

Not really my thing.

I wrote something on Facebook a few weeks ago about how what I write is not romantic. I worded it as a statement, but it was actually a question. See, since I first published Caged I've been reading the reviews carefully, curious as to what others thought, but mostly what they felt, about my work. I've always been curious about feelings. What I get is that my writing is dark, angsty, sexy... but is it romantic?

But... wait. What is "romantic" anyway. Let's go look at the good ol' MW, shall we?

ro·man·tic

adjective \rō-ˈman-tik, rə-\

: of, relating to, or involving love between two people
: making someone think of love : suitable for romance
: thinking about love and doing and saying things to show that you love someone

It's about love.

When I look at Caged and Sacrificed... all I see is love. The ongoing story is so shot through with it that I feel the resonance between their hearts and bleed with them when they do. It's raw feeling...

But, it's not romance for everyone, that's for sure. Very little "fluff" and I'm not big on spoken I-Love-Yous, not when you can say it better with your body in a hundred different ways.

Then I wrote Sarge. 

One thing that I asked my beta readers was whether they thought it was too sweet... something that some readers of Sarge will undoubtedly laugh at me for asking.

But, to me, it really is a very sweet love story.

Shit... somehow, through writing, I've found my romantic side.

 

 

 

MM Good Book Reviews Gives Sarge 5 Hearts!

KathyMac says:

"This ain’t like no sci-fi I’ve ever seen. This is erotic with feelings that leap from the pages. Pages that you will be glued to and just like a sponge, you will be absorbing every single word."

Joyfully Jay gives Sacrificed 5 Stars!

Michelle says:

"Caged: Love and Treachery on the High Seas was the debut novel of author and writer Bey Deckard so it was not possible to know what to expect from that first story. However, I was then anticipating grand things with the sequel, SacrificedHeart Beyond the Spires, and I was indeed rewarded with a flawlessly written, epic adventure."

The Blogger Girls give Sarge 4.5 Stars!

JustJen says:

"This story pulled me in immediately, so that I felt as though I was in the trenches right there with Sarge and Murph. I’m not usually a fan of sci-fi stories, but here, I was gobbling up every detail.  I found the technical details to be extremely vivid and believable and one of the things I really enjoyed about this story."

Review of Grif’s Toy by Joseph Lance Tonlet

This is definitely not my normal sort of read.

How the hell do I rate this? I have no real experience with romances, and this is definitely romantic.

Yet, here I sit here with a grin on my face, heart hammering, feeling a little dazed and in need of a very stiff drink.

I’m going to rate this according to my gut (and, I suppose, other parts of my anatomy) and go with five stars.

On one hand, it’s incredibly hot, full of some of my very favourite things. The fact that Wes and Grif are such an ideal match makes their D/s relationship intensely satisfying (and envying) to read about.

[Am I greedy for wanting more Chocolate?]

On the other hand? Well, it’s one hell of a great fantasy—the kind that is crafted from a deep well of desires, each detail lovingly chosen before it’s polished like a prized possession and placed in just the right sequence to make for a really gratifying story. I found it all terribly attractive, both in plot and execution. A lot of care went into it, and a lot of soul.

As much as the relationship between Grif and Tate was bittersweet… well, what Wes and Grif forge between them is like finding home. And, before I get too sentimental, let me wrap this up:

The truth is, I had a hard time putting Grif’s Toy down, and that felt damn great.

I am eagerly looking forward to the next one.

Good job, Joseph.

Order it here and then add it to your TBR on Goodreads

Happy release day to me!

Do you know what today means? With the launch of Sacrificed, I finally feel good about calling myself a writer.

I'm a writer.

I really am.

And, to prove I'm not just a one-trick pirate pony, I'm publishing an erotic science fiction novelette, Sarge, sometime next week.

Happy release day indeed... just look at these beautiful reviews!

Ann: What I find incredibly brilliant about this series so far is the fluid dynamics with the three main characters.

Wondering which retailer pays me the most?

#1 is Payhip. Not a retailer, but an online shop that I've set up myself. This is where I make the most return on my books.

Then after that it gets a little complicated, but these are the three best choices:

At Eden Books*, I make 70% royalties for all titles.

At Smashwords, I make 60% royalties for all titles.

At Amazon, for books OVER $2.99 (USD) I make 70% royalties and for books UNDER $2.99 I make 35%

So... if the book is under $2.99, buy from Eden Books or Smashwords.

If the books is over $2.99, buy from Eden Books or Amazon.

But best of all, buy from my Payhip store :)

*Not all my titles are available at Eden yet as of 25/09/23 - I'm working on it.
