It’s very exciting to announce that LOVE LIES DYING has made the “KTT UK Book Challenge - Best of the past 12 Months” list on Amazon.co.uk.

This Bestseller list was voted by Amazon.co.uk customers, and I’m very happy to report LLD came in at Number 5… with Stieg Larsson at Number 4 and Jeffery Deaver at Number 6!

I’m very pleased with this result, and it’s a terrific outcome for both LOVE LIES DYING and Legumeman Books - the terrific guys and gals who are releasing all my novels in paperback format.

A screen grab of the Top 10 is below. Click on it for a larger view, or check out the live page here.

My paperbacks of LOVE LIES DYING have arrived! Order yours now using the links listed down the page. They look terrific and, I'm pretty sure, if they're thrown they will likely kill someone! This is one massive paperback!

News also reaches me that the Kindle version of LLD is selling extremely well, and now that the paperbacks are here and sitting on the shelves, they're well worth picking up as well. Remember, this is Volume 1 in the Gerlach Library from Legumeman Books, so grab yours today and start your full set! All Gerlach novels will be released through Legumeman in paperback and ebook format in the coming years.

LOVE LIES DYING is now available for ordering in the following formats:

LLD in paperback at Amazon.

LLD for kindle at Amazon.

LLD at the LegumeMan Shop.

LLD eBook version.

What more needs to be said?? I have seen the final proof of LOVE LIES DYING in paperback, and it's awesome.

This is the first time LOVE LIES DYING will be available in paperback WORLDWIDE! It will be available through bookstores and online via Amazon and other online sellers. This edition will also be available for Kindle and iBooks as well.

Add to this the fact that this edition of LOVE LIES DYING is also Volume 1 in the Gerlach Library to be produced by the fantastic team at Legumeman Books! They're committed to bringing the whole Gerlach back catalogue into paperback and e-book versions - and I think they're the best to do it, for sure!

So no matter how you read your books these days, the Legumeman guys and girls have you covered!

Zoe will be on your doorstep within the next few weeks! While we wait, here's an image of the final proof that I've been reviewing.

She's heard your call...and she's returning...

For the first time in mass market paperback, Kindle, iBooks and epub editions.

Early 2011.

More news soon.

Bloodletting Press announced this week that the limited edition hardback versions of both LAKE MOUNTAIN and LOVE LIES DYING are now SOLD OUT from the publisher! This is terrific news, but it means if you haven't yet got your copies, you should order ASAP from any of the usual online venues! Hurry before the remaining copies disappear!

Following the success of LOVE LIES DYING Bloodletting Press quickly announced the follow-up "sequel" HUNTING ZOE would follow by the end of 2007. This new edition is a signed limited edition hardback of only 300 copies. If you purchased LOVE LIES DYING through Bloodletting, they'll be able to match your numbers. This edition will include some amazing extras, including Gerlach short stories and an up-to-date interview. The artwork was quickly published and caused a STORM or controversy at Shocklines. Personally, we think people should read the novel before passing judgement on the cover. We think it ROCKS! :) It's reproduced here in full (click on the image for a larger view). Pre-orders can be taken here: www.bloodlettingbooks.com and www.shocklines.com.

Here's an exclusive look at the final full-cover artwork for the Bloodletting Press US version of LOVE LIES DYING. It's interesting to compare the final cover to the original artwork. We all agree both are stunning!


Zoe is now due to arrive just in time for Christmas. Yes, it's been a long wait, but well worth it. Wouldn't you like Zoe under your Christmas tree this year? Orders are still available through www.bloodlettingbooks.com and www.shocklines.com now.

Hot off the presses... this is EXCLUSIVE BREAKING NEWS!
Bloodletting Press is soon to announce that due to the response from pre-orders of LOVE LIES DYING, they will be producing the first ever US hardback edition of HUNTING ZOE - the "sequel" to LOVE LIES DYING. And this edition will be packed with surprises, including stunning cover art and some extras that have never seen the light of day before, which is probably why the full title of the book is HUNTING ZOE AND OTHER TALES. More news can be found on the Bloodletting Press website soon (and also in their latest newsletter), and we'll keep you up to date with news about this release too.
Make no mistake, HUNTING ZOE is very very important to the whole LOVE LIES DYING series... (that's right - SERIES) for reasons that will become clearer in the months ahead. Pre-orders are available through www.bloodlettingbooks.com and www.shocklines.com now.

There's been a few delays, but as you can tell by the fantastic finalised cover artwork by Vince Natale below, Zoe is almost upon us all. The signature sheets are signed, the artwork is done, and we hear LOVE LIES DYING is almost ready to be released. Finally Zoe will be let loose in the USA! More news here as it breaks... And, of course, pre-orders are still available through www.bloodlettingbooks.com and www.shocklines.com now.

Gerlach's acclaimed LOVE LIES DYING sees its first US hardback release in the next month or so via Bloodletting Press. We'll upload the cover artwork by Vince Natale here as soon as it's confirmed (we've seen it, we just can't upload it yet - but it's fantastic!). Meanwhile, more details can be found at our LOVE LIES DYING page and pre-orders can be placed through www.bloodlettingbooks.com and www.shocklines.com.

The build-up for the long awaited US release of LOVE LIES DYING is growing stronger day after day. The final manuscript is in. The proofing has been done. The layout is in place. All is set for the New Year's release of LOVE LIES DYING. As soon as we get the artwork, we'll upload it here. Hang on for a terrific 2006! Order LOVE LIES DYING from www.bloodlettingbooks.com and Shocklines.com now!

Here's the latest press release from Bloodletting Press covering RAGE, LAKE MOUNTAIN and the just-announced release of LOVE LIES DYING. The next few months will be very exciting indeed.

Bloodletting Press - Latest News

LOVE LIES DYING by Steve Gerlach
http://www.bloodlettingbooks.com/lolidybystge.html

Format: Only 300 signed limited edition hardbacks will be published.

Introduction by Brian Keene and an afterword by Steve Gerlach and a very special guest.

Publication date is Winter 2005.

Publisher: Bloodletting Press

Publisher's Description:

She was on his sofa, reading a book. She was a complete stranger.

And she was naked…

Her name was Zoe, and she had survived a horrific ordeal.

Fleeing from trouble and the threat of death, Zoe turned to her best friend, Helen. Driving for three days straight, she arrived cold and hungry on Helen's doorstep.

But Helen was at work. Leaving Helen's husband, John, and Zoe together…all alone.

Having escaped from a life of terror and violence, Zoe was sure she could hide with them for a while. Just long enough to get back on her feet and her life in order again.

John's only mistake was to agree she could stay with them…

Because Zoe's past was fast catching up with her.

And that past would draw them all into a game of life and death.

By letting her stay, John had no idea of the horror that would be visited on them all…

For someone had a game to finish – a game that could turn very deadly indeed.

LOVE LIES DYING

You always love,
The ones you hurt...

In a recent Bloddletting Press update, we found the following gem:

"LOVE LIES DYING by Steve Gerlach is being proofed right now and we'll start laying out the book in the next few weeks."

Excellent news! Look for this extra special edition in early 2006. It would appear that this will be crammed with extras! More news when we have it!

At the end of March, Steve hosted the first ever Gerlach Tour, an all-day event taking place in and around Melbourne, Victoria. The tour took the participants to scenes and settings found in RAGE, Love Lies Dying and the soon-to-be-released Lake Mountain.

Photos of the day will be uploaded soon. The feedback from the first tour has been so positive that we expect more tours to happen in the near future. Anyone interested in taking part in a future tour who either lives in Melbourne or will be visiting the city, should drop us a line and register your interest.
