"Hell to Pay" was released from Hellfire Publishing last year and is available in e-book or paperback.
The hook:
A man who thinks he's losing his soul, meets a man who has.
Hookers (stop stocking up on antibiotics, these are the first lines from chapters):
Chapter 3: A single bolt of lightning struck somewhere near
the center of town.

Chapter 4: Bailey moseyed into the office, dry, bandaged,
and ready to get his ass chewed.
Chapter 7: Most of the Ashton police force was already
assembled when Bailey and John entered the tactical room.
Chapter 8: About 4:00am Bailey fell asleep against a pole
near the makeshift morgue.
Chapter 9: A man screamed in George’s dream, and it ended in
a gurgle of blood.
Chapter 11: Detective
Bailey circled the Market Square almost twenty times that day, running between
the antique store and the fire scene.
Chapter 12: George never opened the antique store the day
Neeley died.
Chapter 18: The white flag flailed in the wind and burned
into Detective Bailey’s uncontrolled rage.
Chapter 19: The heavens raged in a violent thunderstorm as
Lars stumbled through the wet empty streets of Ashton screaming for his
departed friend.
Chapter 23: George dreamed about angels coming in the night.
Chapter 24: The dwarf did the trick, Bailey felt more
comfortable around Mills since the shared laugh.
Chapter 26: George’s vivid nightmares left him detached most
of the day.
Just a taste of the book, there are 61 chapters. If you like what you read, check out "Hell to Pay". Leave some comments below and after the bloghop, I'll draw a winner for a free e-book.
