Hope for the Wicked is on sale for $0.99 until May 13th. The sequel, Pennies for the Damned, comes out on the 12th, so if you enjoy one, pre-order two.

WARNING: Out of all my short stories and novels, Hope for the Wicked has the most disturbing scene I've ever written. It also has discussions of child abuse of a sexual nature. The scene of which I speak has nothing to do with children though. When I say disturbing, I mean it. The scene disgusted even me, and I wrote it. If you're in to that kind of thing, or think you can handle it, go for it. If you feel like challenging yourself, by all means, jump right in. But do not say I didn't warn you. I feel the scene was necessary to expedite the character's journey. It is not meant for shock value alone. This is NOT a cozy mystery. It is NOT your average thriller. Expect the absolute worst and you'll be fine.

I'm proud to announce the release date for my new novel, Pennies for the Damned, the follow up to the first Larry Laughlin book, Hope for the Wicked. Red Adept Publishing will be releasing the book on May 12th, 2015.

Ex-hitman Larry Laughlin got out of Mexico alive, but now he’s a haunted man. The final step to laying his ghosts to rest requires killing his newly paroled father. Before he can take action, a trio of killers break into Larry’s house, and he overhears their scheme to murder his brother, Jaime. Old habits kick in, and Larry emerges the sole survivor. But while he’s gathering hidden funds to finance his plans, he’s ambushed by an abused teen named Brooklyn, who refuses to be left behind.

Larry and Brooklyn set out to save his brother and complete his patricidal task, but one misstep drops yet another aching tragedy on Larry’s burdened shoulders. Nearly mad with his hunger for vengeance, Larry seeks his final nemesis in the heart of New York City. But what he finds will threaten more than just his life: Larry Laughlin damned himself long ago.

Pennies for the Damned is coming. This is the sequel to the controversial Hope for the Wicked, and is due out Winter 2015 from Red Adept Publishing. Click HERE or on the cover to find out more.

I've been a fan of Lorn's work for a while now and this is yet another shining example of why.  Like usual, Lorn pulls no punches with any of his characters (especially in this book!) and I ran the full gamut of emotions while reading this. Even though the two main characters are technically bad people, I couldn't help but feel for them and wind up loving them. I was pleasantly surprised to see a connection to Bay's End (another fantastic book by him) in here with the main characters and the promise of more to come. 

If you've never read anything by Lorn, you really need to since you're missing out on some wonderful dark fiction by a great guy. Give it a try and you'll be sorry you waited so long.  Highly recommended!

All of my titles (aside from Life After Dane) are available through the Kindle Unlimited program. If you're behind on your Lornographic material, you can catch up easily (and cheaply) by using this nifty service. For a complete list of my work, click HERE. Have fun!
