Read to Review: THORN (Open for participants!)
Hey, all!
I wanted to write with a quick update regarding my writing, etc. But, first things first, I'VE RELEASED A NEW BOOK! Finally.
So, although I go into a bit more detail via Facebook, here's the down-low: I published my latest work, THORN, today. And while my debut was written under the pen-name, Luna Lacour, this novel is written under my Real Name, Liv Hayes. I'm very excited! That said...
As many of my writing buddies know, I'm the *worst* when it comes to anything promotional. I've done no Blitzes, tours, or anything, really. I hate asking for help, and frankly, I'm not a well-known author. I work a full-time retail gig, and there's little spending money for things like paid promotion. So that coupled with the notion of needing to bother people for help - welp - it makes me anxious!
In short, I'm hoping to find a few readers that might be interested in a Read to Review for THORN. The number of participants is unlimited - anyone that asks for an ARC will receive one. As for formats, I have both .epub and .mobi available. In your email/message, just specify which you'd prefer.
In terms of a time-frame, the ideal would be two-weeks, but I can work with schedules.
Here are the deets:
The Synopsis:
They say that bad news comes in threes – and for Emilia Tóibín, this is an understatement.
The anniversary of her son's death, her husband's affair, and a scathing separation. All on her 30th birthday.
In sorrow's wake, she leaves her editorial job behind, packs a single suitcase, and exchanges Manhattan – and the past twelve years - for her long-abandoned and deceivingly idyllic hometown of Montauk.
There, on the beach-front, she meets a boy. They share a single night together. And she believes, like everything else, that she'll never see him again.
When she takes accepts an impromptu position as a Creative Writing teacher at the local high-school, she sees a way to begin picking up the pieces. A new chapter of life. A chance to heal.
But when a familiar face appears in her classroom – the boy from the beach, Bryan Thorn – everything changes.
She is broken. He is troubled. And despite the whispers, pain, and the shared pasts that threaten to destroy them both – neither can keep themselves away.
One thing is certain: some affairs prick like thorns.

Lastly, I'd just like to thank all of you - present readers, future readers, past readers. I'd also like to thank anyone who took the time to read my debut, Star-Crossed, and those who took the time to write me such beautiful messages. I write because I love it; it's not about money, or things like that.
But if you'd like to help give this little ol' book a nudge, you have no idea how thankful I'd be.
Thank you, thank you, thank you.
I love you, guys. <3
