Series: Rise of the Fallen, Book 1

Available at: [Audible][Amazon][iTunes]

(coming soon to Amazon and iTunes!)

It was only a wish. Connor Sullivan was painfully average. The very highlight of his existence was going to school, doing homework, and playing video games. He thought nothing would ever change that. Unfortunately, homework usually screws everything up.

A cut, some blood, and a hastily scrawled promise to sell his soul for his fondest wish… and all hell breaks loose. Literally.

The Demons take him up on his offer.

In a last ditch effort to keep his soul, he wishes to become one of the demons, or Fallen as they call themselves. Connor thought he had found a solution to his problem. He never fully understood the meaning of the phrase, “From the frying pan into the fire,” until his wish was granted. The biggest catch? Never ever fall in love with a human…

And then, she walked into his school. Beautiful, red-haired, funny… and blind. Connor’s heart didn’t stand a chance. Neither did the Fallen’s rules. He had saved his soul, but could he find happiness without hurting the girl he loved? Or would secrets Jessica didn’t even know she had destroy them all?

4. Have you heard? Sean Hayden’s new YA novel is out!

I might be a little prejudiced, but this is one of his best stories so far. Full of his trademark wit and humor, My Soul to Keep is his first young adult novel (and first of the Rise of the Fallen series!). Of course it slips into the paranormal genre as well and we get an added bonus of some romance! There are some wonderful tender scenes that had me sniffling. The characters will keep you laughing through an action packed, twisted plot.

Don’t miss this one my friends!

(PS. Likes, shares, tweets, fb’s always appreciated! If you’d like Sean to drop by your blog/website drop me a note!)

My Soul To Keep by Sean Hayden

YA Paranormal Romance novel

Published: May 5 2012  Available at Amazon for 3.99

Ever have one of those bad ideas just pop into your head? You know the ones. They seem like a great idea at the time, but if you had stopped to think about it a moment…

I’m talking about those ideas where you just seize the moment and do what your heart tells you to. Then, after the dust settles and you get bandaged up, your parents say, “What the hell were you thinking?”

“But, Dad, I wasn’t!”

I had one of those moments.

I guess if you want to be technical, I had a whole chain of those moments leading up to the big bang moment. The problem was I didn’t have anyone standing around saying, “What the hell were you thinking?”

The moral of this story?

There are several.

First, stores don’t sell black candles for a reason. They’re bad news. If you happen to come across one in the mall that sells questionable items…walk away. Trust me on this one. Black candles are bad.

Second, always know what you want out of life. Coasting along, not caring about anything will get you into trouble. Maybe more than you can handle.

Lastly, if someone offers to grant you your fondest wish, wish for something you really, truly want. Wish for something that will make the world a better place or you a better person. Never ever wish to be a monster…

5. The Games We Play by Sean Hayden -New Release!

If you haven’t read any of Sean Hayden’s work, this is a great place to start. I just love this short story, Sean’s first dip into some romance with his vampires. If you like steampunk, check out his short Lady Dorn. Happy reading!

This is a short story! 0.99 on Amazon.

A smoky bar, a few too many drinks, it had all the makings of a perfect night. It looked even brighter when he walked in. “Tall, dark, and delicious,” she thought. Too bad Veronica didn’t realize he was having the same thoughts about her. She looked very delicious…to the predator. A shot with a chaser quickly turns into just a chase. Running for her life was not how she thought the night would end. Veronica had always had a thing for games. She could only pray she would win this one.

“Hot, sexy and twisted. Just like the author.” – Jen Wylie, Author of Sweet Light

“Sexy, sassy and served up with a twist, Sean Hayden’s ‘The Games We Play’ will leave you hot, bothered and lusting for one more bite.” – Katy O’Dowd, Author of The Lady Astronomer

“Dark and dangerous, suspenseful and sexy, this short story is a well-written, engaging tale of greed, lust and love.” – Jenny Hilborne, Author of Madness and Murder

6. DAY JOBS – What all authors dread.

I'm BAAAAAAACK! Didja miss me?

 

Greetings and salutations once again, mortals of planet earth. It is I your beneficent malevolent future world dictator (doesn’t dictator sound like the reproductive organ of a potato? Always makes me giggle) here once again to commandeer the blog of the glorious earth woman Jennifer Wylie.

What’s the topic of conversation today, Lord Master?

I knew you were going to ask me that. Today boys and girls we shall be discussing the bane of writers and authors everywhere. DAY JOBS.

Unless you were born in Beverly Hills and have a last name like Hilton or Kardashian (but then again if you do have that last name you’re probably too stupid to write, yeah I said it) you started out with humble origins and need a day job to support your family while you pen your novels.

Even I have a day job. (GASP)

I’ve had a LOT of minions ask me what my day job is. I tell them I’m a fiber optic engineer. This statement is usually followed by me smiling down at their look of incomprehension and wiping the small trail of drool sliding ungracefully down their chins. I thought I would use this hijacking to explain it in detail. It is kinda cool.

You see, I work for a small telecommunications company in Southern Florida while I write and plot my subjugation of the planetoid known as earth. Basically they supply telephone, cable, internet, and alarm services to posh gated communities in  our area. What is different about the company I work for is their method of delivery. Most companies run fiber optics from their HEAD ENDS to what is called a NODE and then run copper wires in different forms to the houses of their subscribers. My company runs the fiber straight up into the house. Talk about FAST internet.

This is where I enter the picture. My responsibilities are designing how to get the fiber from our HEAD END to each house. I get to play with CAD software most of the time and make pretty maps of neighborhoods in glowing neon colors and then record what color fiber goes to what house. What can I say…It’s a living.

So now you’re thinking…What a joke. He plays on the computer all day? HA! I frigging wish. Just because I design the networks doesn’t mean my job is done. All of our fiber optics are run underground. They don’t want telephone poles and hanging wires in posh gated communities. NO. They want invisibility. So, we have pipes running all through these neighborhoods and pull large fibers to vaults called nodes and then smaller fibers called drops straight into the house. What’s really cool is that inside these large pipes are a whole bunch of little tubes that the fiber gets blown through with compressed air.
