Sweet Vendetta Blues COVER REVEAL!

 It's finally time to reveal the Cover for Sweet Vendetta Blues!

Without further ado:

It’s been eight years since Jack left his life in the mafia. Eight years since his adopted father was murdered. Eight years since his own brother shot him in revenge and he had to go into hiding, nothing but a dead man.

 

When the past comes back to haunt him in the worst way possible, Jack is forced to leave his new life as a homicide detective to flee his faceless enemy, leaving a dead partner in his wake. But the bodies keep piling up and Jack can no longer avoid his past when he finds out that all of the deaths turn out to be connected to one person—The Don of Rosa Nera.

 

Things get even more complicated when his brother shows up out of the blue, leading his own investigation with information that their adopted father, Paccioretti, had gathered before his death. Despite their turbulent past, Jack and Sebastian decide it’s in their best interests to join forces and fight against the enemy who took so much away from them.

 

Set in the same world as The New Emperor’s Concerto this new novel by Hazel B. West contains the overarching theme of family woven throughout a noir adventure with a cross-country road trip for information and justice.

Sweet Vendetta Blues Prequel Backstories Now Available!

 They're here! You can now grab your own copies of the 2 prequel backstories to get yourself in the mood for the release of Sweet Vendetta Blues!

After his sister is taken by traffickers, Leone Paccioretti has made it his mission to figure out a way to protect the children of New York City. And how does he plan to achieve that? By joining the local mafia, Rosa Nera, so he can be closer to the corrupt upper echelons of society. When the current Capo recruits him into his ranks, Leone finds himself going from an orphan on the streets, to a member of one of the most powerful organizations in the country. The only question is, will he be able to achieve his dreams of making the city a safer place, or will his sacrifices all be for nothing in the end?

Jack has made a new life for himself as a budding homicide detective in a small town in New Mexico, but it’s harder to let go of the past than he realized. Faced with a friendly new partner and an apparent vigilante murder case the first week on the job, Jack tries to put his past behind him and focus on the future. After all, there’s no going back to his old life now, so maybe it’s time to look for a little redemption.

COMING SOON! New Prequel Stories and Sweet Vendetta Blues Cover Reveal

 

To give you all something to read in the lead-up to the Sweet Vendetta Blues release, I'm going to be releasing two prequel short stories to give you a little look into the missing pasts of the characters. 

These will be available Monday August 22nd, both as ebooks and as a paperback bind-up. 

I will also be doing the cover reveal for Sweet Vendetta Blues on September 6th! I'm really excited to share what I've been working on with you guys so make sure you pop over here that day.

If you would like to join the cover reveal team to share it on your blogs and social media, sign up here with this form. I have a lot to share that day both for SVB and also about the Concerto hardcover, so I'm hoping to get as many people as possible to sign up for the cover reveal!

And finally, if you have not yet ordered your August goodies, go grab them! These Jack and Sebastian chibi stickers are exclusive to ko-fi supporters only, and you will also have the chance to read the first of the flashback chapters from SVB where we get to see Jack meet Paccioretti for the first time.

Get Yours Here!

New Goodies Available!

 Help support the Sweet Vendetta Blues and New Emperor's Concerto 2nd edition release by getting subscriber goodies on Ko-fi.

It's no secret that publishing takes a lot of time, and can also be rather pricy. I am hoping to offer more options for all of the books, including availability, and other versions (like hardcovers!) and to do so, there will be launching costs.

So I've started offering goodies to anyone who supports me on Ko-fi. There will be new goodies each month, both physical and digital, including sneak peeks of SVB, character art, stickers, prints, bookmarks, and more! 

If you are interested, this is what I am offering for July:

Also, I want to point out that this is not actually a monthly subscription. I will just be uploading a different set of goodies each month (for $6) and you will purchase it through the Ko-Fi shop feature. The reason I decided to do this is because I'm not sure if I will continue doing monthly goodies after SVB is published, and I didn't want people to subscribe and then not get something after several months of support. Instead, this gives you the opportunity to support me for whichever month you would like to. 

All of these goodies ARE exclusive to my Ko-Fi monthly supporters though and will not be available as swag at a later date; once the month is over, these will not be available anymore. 

If you're interested and would like to help support an indie author, you can get your set of July's goodies HERE 

The chapters of SVB will be sent out to whatever email you use when you pay on Ko-Fi within a couple days, and the sticker and character cards will be sent out around mid July and then if I get more supporters, another batch at the end of the month.

Thanks for checking this out, and I am really looking forward to sharing more about Blues with you!
