It’s taken three months and 90,000 words but I’m very happy to say that I have finally finished the first draft of the (as yet untitled) follow up to Second Chance. Rather than go off and drink a bottle of wine to celebrate*, I thought I’d like to share my joy as much as possible.
So for this weekend only, you can get the kindle version of my first book, Second Chance, free from Amazon.com and Amazon.co.uk.
Yes, you read that right. You can get all 315 pages of my fast-paced futuristic thriller for free. But you have to move fast. The offer ends midnight Pacific Daylight Time (Los Angeles time for those who aren’t sure) 18th May 2014.
To whet your appetite, here are a few reader review highlights about Second Chance:
“A taut, fast-paced thriller set in the near future, Second Chance hardly gave me a single chance to catch my breath.” Amazon.com – 5 Stars
“This is a highly enjoyable read – a real page-turner, which kept me guessing to the end” Amazon.co.uk – 5 Stars
“Political intrigue, neuroscience, a missing-persons investigation–this well-written novel has it all.” Amazon.com – 5 Stars
“The people-stories just pull you in. It’s clever, but not inaccessible.” Amazon.co.uk – 5 Stars
So what are you waiting for?

I see you only have a couple of reviews on Good Reads and Amazon. I’ll download this and give you a comprehensive review. Good luck with the promotion!
Thank you, both for the best wishes and the review. I look forward to reading it!
Oh! Dylan.
Now I really am going to another place ,time or dimension!
But i wish you good luck with no.two.
Thank you, Ellen.
Fantastic news, am going to download the first book!!
Arran
That’s great! I hope you enjoy it 🙂
I’m sure I will Dylan, the reviews are good. I’ve made a promise recently to support self published authors. Initially this will be UK based ones, I don’t think we help each other out enough.
Will write a blog review when it’s done!
Arran
That’s very kind, I look forward to reading it! I’m of the same view as you regarding supporting other indie authors. I wrote a blog about it a few weeks ago. http://wp.me/p3Dds0-dn
Thanks Dylan, will look it up. Hopefully this is the start, I want to set up a UK based authors group, where it’s all about supporting each other…one great review you is a great review for all of us. Writing can be such a lonely place at times, also so many authors have turned into salesman in how try promote their books. I don’t want that, there has to be another way! Will keep you in mind once I’ve figured out how the group will work.
Take care
Arran
Thank you Dylan, I have downloaded it and will give you a review as soon as I can. All the very best with no.2 – go you! 🙂
We’ll done for finishing your first draft – it took me 2 1/2 years to finish my first draft of ‘Singled Out’ – and then the work really started. Enjoy the next part of the process! Lovely offer for the weekend too.
Reblogged this on Chris The Story Reading Ape's Meet New (to me) Authors Blog.
Have downloaded and am looking forward to reading and reviewing for you. There’s a separate link for Amazon Canada, by the way, but I was happy to find your book listed there, too! (amazon.ca)
Thank you for downloading. I look forward to reading the review. As for the mistake about Canada – I’m so sorry! I’ll correct the post forthwith!
And available in Australia, too! http://www.amazon.com.au/Second-Chance-Dylan-S-Hearn-ebook/dp/B00I0945TA/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1400327707&sr=8-1&keywords=Dylan+Hearn 🙂
Dylan, please send me an email. Would love to feature you on Reading Recommendations!
I have my copy. Give me time. Too much writing and not enough reading makes DeeDee a very dull girl. I’m planning to do more reading this summer. Thank you for the book!
Take your time, no hurry. Thank you for downloading!
You must feel on top of the world! Such a great feeling to have it all in ack and white😄. Congrats and keep on going!
Thank you. Yes, it’s a great feeling, although my mind has already turned to how I can improve it 🙂
Got it, thanks! Gorgeous cover.
Thanks! I hope you enjoy it! The cover was by James at http://www.goonwrite.com. He’s a very talented designer.
Downloaded! Looking forward to reading and reviewing.
Thank you, Karen! I hope you enjoy the book and I look forward to reading your review 🙂
