And thanks, Bey, for inviting me to visit!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignright size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/beydeckard.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Hurt-Me-Kindle-250.png?w=1200&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-color has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"color:#004563\">I'm excited to be giving away three ebook copies of my latest novel, <em>Hurt Me<\/em>, which is the third book in my Fault Lines trilogy, and the prequel to <em>Dangerously Happy<\/em>. Don't worry if you haven't read the other books, this one stands alone just fine, and also works as a launch into <em>Dangerously Happy<\/em>, should you feel inspired to read more about these guys.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-color has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"color:#004563\">Bey asked me to say a little about what inspired this book, which is the first in four years\u2026 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 <em>Dangerously Happy<\/em>), and Xavi (one of the main characters from <em>Bad Things<\/em>), 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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-color has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"color:#004563\">The seed of this idea really took root in my brain while I was in Shengen \u201cexile\u201d 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\u2026 or it just really needed to delve into this history between Dario and Xavi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-color has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"color:#004563\">And whew, the delve got deep and dark!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-color has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"color:#004563\">In <em>Dangerously Happy<\/em>, we discover Dario's need to surrender control and even safety, to cope with his demons, and in<em> Bad Things<\/em>, Xavi makes it clear he's more than up to the job of taking people's control and safety. In <em>Hurt Me<\/em>, their relationship is a vortex churning around that dynamic. But <em>Hurt Me<\/em> also turned into a fun, twisty, slightly bloody thriller revolving around a trans kid named Feerz.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-color has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"color:#004563\">And now, it's back to YA fantasy! Or is it? ;)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator is-style-wide\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\">Sounds fantastic - I can't wait to read it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-heading\">Check out the giveaway here:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<a class=\"rcptr\" href=\"http:\/\/www.rafflecopter.com\/rafl\/display\/6900ba8611\/\" rel=\"nofollow\" data-raflid=\"6900ba8611\" data-theme=\"classic\" data-template=\"\" id=\"rcwidget_qttyl6sp\">a Rafflecopter giveaway<\/a>\n<script src=\"https:\/\/widget-prime.rafflecopter.com\/launch.js\"><\/script>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Look who&#8217;s back&#8230; and with a brand new book!
