I’m so excited to be able to reveal the cover for Mortal Heart, book four in the Divine Hunter series. It’s been pretty hard keeping this one under wraps, but I’m excited to share this with you today. Hopefully soon I’ll be able to give you an official release date, but I can tell you it will be before the end of the year. But for now, please feel free to leave me a comment below. I would love to know what you think.

 



 

 

Title: Mortal Heart

Series: Divine Hunter #4

Release Date: Winter 2017 tba

BLURB

When two hearts bleed, Heaven doesn’t stand a chance.

Is it possible for a heart to break twice?

Lacy had known from finding out what Michael was that there would be complications, but she never expected they’d be torn apart in such a cruel way. Unable to stop herself feeling the things she did, she knew she would pay for falling in love with an angel, but this. . . If it hurt this much, then how could she go on without him?

He’d feared this would happen.

It was always only a question of when.

Michael’s nightmares had come true and he hadn’t even had chance to say goodbye. His heart ached like he never thought possible, but he was powerless to change what had happened. Now he was trapped in the heavens awaiting a trial that he already knew the outcome of. Through her journal he’d lived his mother’s pain after his father had been taken from her. He couldn’t allow that to happen to Lacy.

He had to get out.

He would get out.

Of all that had happened to him this would be his toughest fight yet, but it would end in one of two ways: Either Michael would convince the Thrones to let him live with the woman he had lost his heart and soul to, or he would die by her side.

Either way, he wasn’t prepared to exist without her.

Mortal Heart is the fourth and final book in the Divine Hunter series.

It’s live!

After a long wait, I can finally say that Kindred Salvation is finally here. Right now it’s only available on eBook, but will also be available in paperback over the next few weeks some time. I’m so excited for you all to read it, and at the same time I can’t believe I have started work on the fourth and final installmant of the Michael and Lacy’s story. But there are outlines for another couple of tie-ins in the Divine Hunter World, so I’m also looking forward to those.

Anyway, without further ado, I give you all the info and buy links so you can get your hands on a copy of Kindred Salvation. Happy reading!

 

Kindred Salvation

(Divine Hunter Book Three)

 

Hell wants an angel. . .

Against her better judgement, Lacy Holloway is getting used to her life with Michael, but falling deeper in love with him is only bringing more uncertainty about their future together. And then there’s the other little problem: God only knows why her dead sister is still hanging around, but she is secretly glad. Living with the man she loves, and having Beth back in her life, Lacy is hiding her concerns behind the normal life she so desperately craves.

Things have been quiet in Oakland, but calm wasn’t usually on Michael’s radar, and for good reason. Now the dead are stirring and when Michael and Jaret discover a mass grave in Cincinnati they suspect Varesh has returned.

Their suspicions are heightened the moment Michael comes face to face with a past he knows very little about, and that past comes with some shocking news. Overwhelmed by what he’s learned, and desperate to stop his evil enemy, Michael finds himself on the hunt for a woman who is closer to him than he could have ever imagined. But if Hell finds her first, the repercussions will be devastating, not just for Michael, but for the whole of mankind.

Who will get to her first? Angel or demon?

 

— It is highly recommended that this series is read in order.

*This book contains some Adult situations and is recommended for age 17+*

Hi everyone. It’s been a while, I know. I’m not great at keeping a blog at the best of times, and right now I’m struggling for time in any situation other than life and work. Oh, and did I mention my Everest? No? Well, this post is mainly about that: My mountain. My struggle. My writing slump.

Writer’s block is a phrase some use, but I can’t get on with it myself. I prefer to call it a hiccup. Well, at least now that I’m through it I can call it that. Whatever this thing is/has been, I want to tell you about it. Writing has been a struggle for me this year. Life has been busy with one thing or another and sometimes it’s been quite difficult to put the time aside. But as well as that, I’ve struggled to find my mojo (that’s assuming I had one in the first place). I know there are quite a few of you out there who have read and enjoyed my books, so this is my personal apology to you. To all of you who are eagerly awaiting more of Michael and Lacy’s story, and to continue reading the Divine Hunter series, I want to say sorry for leaving you all hanging this long. I want to invite you all to my house for tea and cake in order to soften you up while I give you a sincere explanation (and I’m only not really inviting you because you won’t all fit in my house). But seriously, I’m hoping after reading this that you won’t still want to throw stones or sharp objects at me and that you can maybe understand why it’s taking so long for me to get Kindred Salvation to you.

Excuse No1: I have been very busy. I promise that is the truth. My husband has an unusual career which involves a lot of travelling and I’m very hands on and present in helping him wherever he goes. I drive a lot, which is frustrating sometimes because the hours I spend on the road each week are taken away from writing time. It isn’t ideal, but it’s our bread and butter, and I am truly thankful for my husband’s success.

I never thought moving house would be so stressful. Boy, was I wrong. We moved at the beginning of the year and it was extremely hard work packing up a three bedroom semi that we’d lived in for over ten years. How two people can have so much stuff is beyond me, and we did it all ourselves without a removal company. It was very stressful, but we love the house we live in now so much. It is another huge contribution to the delay in my writing.

Excuse No2: There is a new little princess in our lives and she has been a huge distraction. I can’t lie about that. My niece’s little girl has become our goddaughter and she’s now a big part of our lives, even more than we could ever have imagined. She is just too gorgeous for words and I love her immensely.

Excuse No3 (and this is the main one): I have struggled. Soon after I’d finished release promotion for Evo I got hit pretty hard by one of the most destroying things for a writer: self doubt. It has been something I’ve struggled with for over a year and I can tell you, it’s been a pretty stressful time; the most stressful since I became a writer. That doubt has been the main cause of the delay of Kindred Salvation and I’m really sad about that. I didn’t want to put it on hold, I didn’t want to hide away, but I had to try and deal with it the very best way possible. I tried writing something else for a time–getting my mind off the very thing that was stressing my brain in the hope that a change of scenery, characters, storyline, would give me the kick up the backside I needed, but I soon found that the same struggle was as present with that. The words didn’t come, in any shape or form, and that made me feel a whole lot worse. I went through all the perhaps-I-can’t-do-this-whole-writing-thing-after-all and the-first-three-books-were-flukes-who-are-you-kidding? thoughts in my head which kept me from my main manuscript, and I honestly thought I wasn’t good enough to finish what I’d started, and despite what the people closest to me told me, the struggle, the stress, was very real.

But now…

Now, with the support of my wonderful husband (and a bloody stern word or two in my own ear), it seems to have corrected itself. After much anguish and self loathing, I finally started to feel like I had my mojo back.

I have been writing without scrapping half of it and shutting down my laptop, which means I’ve stopped having to run away. And my shoulders feel much lighter. And my guilt has lessened. And I’m writing… the words are back. And the good news? Not only am I racing to the end of Kindred Salvation, but I’ve also been writing parts of book four.

So… I guess, as well as owing it to you tenfold, I want to say the word again: sorry. I’m sorry for keeping my readers waiting so long for Kindred Salvation. I’m sorry for mistreating my laptop by slamming the damn thing closed all too often. But mostly, I’m sorry for allowing myself to doubt that I can write–for letting myself down… for letting you down.

Please know that Kindred Salvation will have a release date very soon, and that I am working hard now to make sure it is the best it can be, and the release date for book four will follow soon after. I WILL NOT keep you waiting too long for that. I’ll also have some more exciting news shortly, so do watch out for it.

Did I say sorry already? Well, one more time won’t hurt.

Thank you for listening, and for (hopefully) understanding.

L.J.

I hope you love this cover as much as I do.

Thanks everyone!

EVO – A Divine Hunter World Novel (Divine Hunter #2.5)

Amazon Kindle UK

Amazon Kindle US

Synopsis

The hunter just became the hunted. . .

Evan O’Reilly was used to fighting demons. A bounty hunter for the underworld, he was always precise. Efficient. Ruthless. But that was before he had to battle with his own.

Being a powerful deity had its advantages, and Alethia, goddess of wind and shadows, was thankful she could watch over her friend completely undetected. That was, until his carelessness began to garner the wrong kind of attention, leaving her no choice but to step in.

Now, Evo is being hunted by his own kind, closely followed by a revenge hungry demon. He is on the run, and Alethia is running with him. While passion ignites, and tension threatens to tear them apart, they discover that there is something far more sinister after Evo’s soul. As Alethia fights for him, she is forced to face an agonizing truth: to save him, she may have to lose him forever.

A story about love and sacrifice, Evo is the first book in the Divine Hunter World series of books that focus on the much loved characters from the Divine Hunter series.

 About Me

L.J. Sealey was born and raised in a little Welsh town by the sea. It rains a lot, so she often has a great excuse to sit at her writing desk and while away the hours at her laptop.

She still lives in N.Wales and when she’s not travelling around the country working with her husband – who is a professional singer – or singing backup vocals herself, she likes to read and watch her favourite TV shows which normally includes plenty of CSI, The Vampire Diaries and endless amounts of sitcoms.

Being addicted to reading about vampires, demons, shifters and angels, she has always had a thing for all things paranormal and is a big sucker for impossible love stories. So it was inevitable that when she started writing herself she would mix the two together.

L.J. Sealey is the author of the paranormal romance series Divine Hunter.
