Today's Pinup is Milos, long suffering dokkalfa, genetic experiment and reluctant government agent.

Somewhere out there are two people, one from the Amazon US site, one from the Amazon UK site, who've ordered unexpectedly-early copies of the paperback of The Destruction of Kirill.

Aside from the fact that I really, really hope I don't disappoint you, if you see this, then send a photo to me (Tumblr, Twitter, Facebook, astral projection; I'm easy) of you (or some limb of yours, or a random pet or favourite pot plant; I get it if you don't want to be on camera) with a copy of the book, along with proof you ordered it before the release date (15th July), I'll be more than happy to give you a voucher for a free copy of the sequel when it's done, or the Christmas one I'm still working on.

Assuming you want a copy of the sequel/Christmas novella, that is.  Obviously, if you hate it then maybe you might not want a copy of another one...

(This also obviously goes for if you're not one of those two people but you bought a copy before 15th July too.  Or if you only think you are, or if you think you're not.  Just... paperback before July 15th.  That's it.)

Playing with PostworkShop and a render of Kirill I did recently.

I really like how this came out.

The Destruction of Kirill is now available to preorder!

He thought he'd experienced the worst kinds of pain imaginable.  Apparently not.  The past wasn't a patch on this.

Born in the workhouse and moulded into an obedient slave, Kirill expected his life to be simple: serve his wealthy owners until they grew bored and sold him, repeating the process again and again until the day he died.  He never wanted his master's precious only son to take an unhealthy interest in him, and he didn't expect one single horrifying summer's day to plunge his life into ruin.

Now he has to adjust to another kind of life: one with a man who never wanted to own a slave and has no use for the one he now possesses.  But just when Kirill thinks he's finally found normality it all comes crashing down again—and worse, this time it's all his own fault.

Hauled into a world of chaos and destruction by a charming stranger, Kirill struggles to manoeuvre his way without letting both his past and his grief overwhelm him, but is his rescuer all that he seems, or has Kirill walked from one hell straight into another?

It'll be released on the 15th July 2014, and you can pre-order your digital copy on Kobo's US site or UK site, from Smashwords, which also has the first couple of chapters available to sample, from Google Play or from All Romance Ebooks.

Other retailers will be available either before or on the release date.
