Sheltered and lonely, Jon's life changes drastically when a strange ship sails into the harbour of his small port town one day. Trapped between the possessive pirate captain and his murderous first mate, he must learn to adapt or he will lose himself completely. An epic tale of love, treachery and revelation, this first installment of the Baal's Heart series brings you into the lives of three men so bound together by jealousy and lies that they must sail to the very ends of the earth to find forgiveness.
I'm so sick of shovelling, I'm hopping on a plane next week to spend a week in the sun in Cuba... but before I go, I thought I'd offer up one more sale... and if there's a book in my bibliography I want you to read, it's this one.
Max is on sale at Amazon (US/UK only) for .99 from Feb 22-24 :) And the best part? Get Max for less than a buck and tack on the Audiobook narrated by Nick J Russo for just $1.99
Folks who dislike unhealthy relationships, are sensitive to consent ambiguity, or have eurotophobiaEurotophobia is the aversion to or dislike of female genitalia should take a big step back from this story.
It's dark... ish and full of mindfuckery.
Substance abuse, pornography, violence, cheating, unprofessional behaviour, criminal intent, abuse... and good lord, the lies.
I honestly think this was my favourite book to write. It started off as a little serial on my blog, inspired by something my old therapist said: "I love psychopaths." Thus Max was given life. I then turned it into a book and I'm glad I did. It's a twisted little story with an unreliable narrator, set in my hometown of Montréal... a sort of lively psycho-romp through themes of addiction, betrayal, and general mayhem. There aren't many "nice" things that happen in the story, and it probably appeals best to folks like me who consider Natural Born Killers or True Romance to be "romantic", but whenever someone asks me "what book of yours do you wish more people would read?", I always reply "Max".
What does that mean? Well, if you own a kindle copy of Sacrificed bought through Amazon, you can get the Audible version for a few bucks and listen to Michael Ferraiuolo's incredible narration.
