Shurrn from The Smutsonian says:
"I loved the first book, Caged: Love and Treachery on the High Seas, and I was jumping at the chance to continue series… I was completely blown away by this follow-up. It’s quite possible that it was even better than the first, and that’s no small feat."
Lisa from The Novel Approach sat down with Baltsaros, Tom, and Jon this week.
I have to say that I am floored by this review. Absolutely floored. Thank you so much, Monique and Macky!
"Monique: Macky and I have no words for this series… we were both completely awestruck with the superb writing of Bey Deckard and blown away by the brilliant story line he so cleverly captivated us with. If you like a sexy pirate or two… well actually three, with an unconventional love story and adventure on the high seas, then this book is a MUST READ. Occasionally, we come across a book that totally outshines even those five star reads, or those that sit on our favourites shelf, because there is just something about them that sits head and shoulders above all else… and Caged is a shining example of just that. "

Available for pre-order now at Amazon!
With the captain’s mind in shambles, Jon and Tom set out to find the passage home through the black mountain range, hoping to find a cure for Baltsaros’s madness. However, when the men are forced to part ways, darkness takes root in the schism created; fate, lust, and vengeance become obsessions threatening to tear apart the fragile bonds holding the three together.
Following on the heels of Sacrificed, Fated takes the pirates on a quest to find those responsible for the captain’s bloody beginnings. But can they survive what awaits them where past and present meet?
Carly says:
"Honestly, it was the amazing cover art that initially caught my eye, but the character dynamic is what kept me reading late into the night. Deckard has a unique writing style that utilizes varying points of view to slip back and forth along the timeline. This works brilliantly, and gives readers a global perspective."
Shurrn says: "Sure, the alien planet might be unbearably hot, but the setting barely holds a candle to the heat being generated between our main characters…
You will not believe the amount of brilliance crammed into this little book – This short story combines so many amazing elements it will make your head spin – the fact that the author managed to write such a complex tale in a short amount of space while allowing for seamless continuity and perfect pacing is nothing short of astounding."

Tom: Yer askin’ me what my favourite colour is? Ha! What the bloody hells for? Oh… gods-be-fuckin’-damned, I just took a peek at the rest of the bloody questions. I’ll play, but it’s a fuckin’ bloody lot of half-cracked questions, ye know that?
Kristy says:
"Sacrificed was a very intense installment to the Baal’s Heart series. The voyage and strange lands are harsh and cruel. There is suffering but through it they truly discover their inner strength. Baltsaros weakness and fears almost tear them down but it’s the stoic strength within Jon that perseveres. A darker story overall, but the emotion and growth is two-fold. This is a unique series for this genre and worth reading every page!"

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 :)
