Ariadne, I Love You Blog Tour and Giveaway

We are excited about the release of J. Ashley-Smith’s new novella, ARIADNE, I LOVE YOU, which hits the streets on July 20th. Hope you will join us for an exciting 2 weeks of blog tour and an amazing giveaway!


ARIADNE, I LOVE YOU by J. Ashley-Smith

Jude is dragged out of Alt-Country obscurity, out of the dismal loop of booze and sadness baths and the boundless, insatiable loneliness, to scrub up and fly to Australia for a last, desperate comeback tour. Hardly worth getting out of bed for—and he wouldn’t, if it weren’t for Coreen.

But Coreen is dead. And, worse than that, she’s married. Jude’s swan-song tour becomes instead a terminal descent, into the sordid past, into the meaning hidden in forgotten songs, into Coreen’s madness diary, there to waken something far worse than her ghost.
