Win a copy of Varian Krylov’s New Book: Hurt Me

by

Look who's back... and with a brand new book! Welcome to my blog, Varian. What do you have for us today?

Hi friends and fans of Bey! And thanks, Bey, for inviting me to visit!

I'm excited to be giving away three ebook copies of my latest novel, Hurt Me, which is the third book in my Fault Lines trilogy, and the prequel to Dangerously Happy. Don't worry if you haven't read the other books, this one stands alone just fine, and also works as a launch into Dangerously Happy, should you feel inspired to read more about these guys.

Bey asked me to say a little about what inspired this book, which is the first in four years… at least the first romance book. I've been working on a big YA fantasy series since 2017, but a couple summers ago I fell into ruminations about Dario (one of the main characters of Dangerously Happy), and Xavi (one of the main characters from Bad Things), and their backstory. They have an intense dynamic in the first two Fault Lines books, but their time on-page together is brief, and only hints at their bond and their history.

The seed of this idea really took root in my brain while I was in Shengen “exile” in Andorra for a couple of months while I was between visas (I was living in Spain, and have now landed in Germany). I stayed in a tiny cabin in the mountains during the off-season (most folks go there for winter skiing, and the area's a dead zone the rest of the year) and there was nothing to do but wander the mountain trails, and write. I guess my brain needed a break from the fantasy series… or it just really needed to delve into this history between Dario and Xavi.

And whew, the delve got deep and dark!

In Dangerously Happy, we discover Dario's need to surrender control and even safety, to cope with his demons, and in Bad Things, Xavi makes it clear he's more than up to the job of taking people's control and safety. In Hurt Me, their relationship is a vortex churning around that dynamic. But Hurt Me also turned into a fun, twisty, slightly bloody thriller revolving around a trans kid named Feerz.

And now, it's back to YA fantasy! Or is it? ;)

Sounds fantastic - I can't wait to read it!

F.I.S.T.S. Handbook For Individual Survival in Hostile Environments

by

The F.I.S.T.S. Handbook.... what is it?

It is a book that contains both Sarge, Murphy, and a tiny "missing reel". There are three versions of it.

The Full-Colour edition has colour images of the covers inside, as well as a few extra images just for fun. It retails for $22 USD at Amazon and other places. Which is hella expensive, I know, for a 145 page book, but at that price I make a buck and change in royalties. If I can find somewhere else to get it printed for cheaper, I will, but for the moment that's how it stands.

However, if you're buying it thinking that there's going to be a whole lot of extra content... there isn't. I consider it sort of a "collector's copy" - I want a copy for myself. The missing reel is just extra, but it's not a full scene, and it's not intended to add to the story. Just give a peek into how the relationship took off. I will also be offering signed copies this version.

If you just want a print version with the two novelettes (and the missing reel) but don't care about colour images, then the second version is for you:

The Black & White edition has black and white images of the covers inside and no extra images. It retails for $8 USD at Amazon and other places.

If you don't want a print version but would like to have the two novelettes (and the missing reel) in electronic format, the third version is for you:

The kindle version is an e-copy of the full-colour edition. It retails for $4 USD.

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.
