From My Newsletter: The Earliest Ending for I HUNT KILLERS
It's time for another deep cut from the I Hunt Killers vault! This is a short bit this time, but I think it’s a good one... In the very first days of working on I Hunt Killers, I had a dilemma. I envisioned the story as a trilogy, but I knew there was a chance that a publisher would want a single book. So I devoted a tiny bit of time to thinking about what a single book would look like. In fact, in my original proposal, I even wrote this: The book can end two ways. If itʼs a standalone, then Jazz — with his intimate knowledge of his fatherʼs secrets — catches him before he can get out of town and returns him to jail. (The second way, obviously, was the trilogy path.) But hey, guess what? I thought of another option if it was just one book. For a split second, I thought to myself... Well, first I wrote this bit that would come early in the book. G. William says... “I still remember your face the day I came and took your daddy away. I swear, there’s days I think he’s safer in prison than at home with you, Jazz. For a while there, I had nightmares you were gonna walk into my office with a satchel and toss it on my desk and your dad’s head would be inside it.” And then I wrote this bit, which would have been the end of the story if it was just a single, standalone book: G. William watched as the boy came closer, and quite against his conscious will, he found himself going for his gun. “You gonna draw on me, G. William?” Jazz asked. “That what youʼre going to do?” “No.” But he kept his hand near the holster. Jazz dropped the duffel bag on G. Williamʼs desk. It made a wet thud, and something in the way it settled made G. William think of the phrase “a sack full of kittens.” But he knew there were no kittens in there. No, siree. “Iʼve done a bad thing,” Jazz said, and G. William nodded slowly. Sadly. Knowingly. Now, obviously — obviously! — this runs counter to everything that happens in the trilogy. But for about an hour or so in late 2009/early 2010, I thought to myself, “Hell, if this is one book, maybe I should just go super-dark and break people’s brains.” Decided not to. The publisher bought the trilogy. The rest is history. Read the full article

Hi y’all, I recently moved to Vancouver and I’m still in the process of getting on my feet over here. I had some money saved up for the move but it took me a bit longer than expected to get a job and I’m starting to run really short on cash. I need some money for basic living expenses for the next week or two until I get my first paycheck . . . anything helps. If you can’t donate I’d appreciate a share! Thank you!
I accept e-transfers to [email protected]. I’ll update with paypal/cashapp whenever I get them set up

“'Listen closely. If you can contact my father, I want you to send him a message for me. I want you to tell him that I'm on to him. That I'm hunting him. Tell him that I'm using every trick he ever taught me, that I won't rest until I've run him to ground. And tell him this too: He once said that I was already a killer, I just hadn't killed anyone yet.' 'Well, tell him that once I catch him...I will.'” -Jasper Dent (Barry Lyga, I Hunt Killers)

#bookmemories I'm pretty sure these were books I read for the RIP challenge last year. Iron Trial was terrible, but Rites of Passage was fantastic. On my Kindle, I was reading Blood Boy by Barry Lyga, a Howie short story from the #jasperdent series. #midnightbookgirl

Le tome 2 de la trilogie sur Jasper Dent est un peu en-dessous du tome 1 mais la fin à elle seule justifie le tome 3... Apnée totale #read #lecture #youngadult #jasperdent #barrylyga
