Left Hand Path Cover Reveal!

Ok, so now normally I tell people its coming and build up a modest amount of hype regarding when my next cover will be revealed, but truth be told, I am so swamped with up-coming releases and regular life, that I am just putting it out there now!

So here it is, once again done by my buddy Mason McDonald!  He did the covers for Yuri and for Wagon Buddy, which will be released in the coming weeks!

Hope you enjoy!

Hottest Horror Books of Summer!

So this is a little mind-blowing, but take a look!

https://barksbooknonsense.blogspot.com/2018/06/hottest-horror-books-of-summer.html

Over on twitter, a book reviewer/blogger posed the question; What horror books are you looking forward too this summer? Then people replied with all the books they were looking forward to read this summer, and I was kindly/fantastically nominated by someone, for the release of Frostbitten: 12 Hymns of Misery!!!!

I can not believe my name/book is on this list with so many fantastic other writers!

One detail though to clarify – the tentative release date is now July 15, 2018, as I am having some formatting issues!

Watch this space for more info!

Wagon Buddy: A Novella!

Here is update 2 of 2!

The second Novella I will be releasing is called Wagon Buddy.  Below you can find the synopsis as well as the cover!

My buddy Mason McDonald did this cover as well!

Wagon Buddy – Synopsis

You ever have an imaginary friend? You know, that made up person that was always there for you, always willing to play with you and letting you confide in them?

What if your imaginary friend turned out to be real? And not a person at all?

Wagon Buddy tells the tale of a man and his creature, his only friend, who time and time again comes to his aide.

But what happens when you can’t control the creature anymore?

Yuri: A Novella!

Hey friends, so here is update 1 of 2 for today.  I already released these on my various social media platforms, for those of you who only get my blog stuff, here they are!

I will be releasing two Novellas in the next few months (hopefully sooner!)

My buddy Mason McDonald kindly did both covers for me!

The 1st is Yuri

Yuri – Synopsis

As a bitter winter stretches on, Yuri decides to leave the family farm and seek employment in the City.

Hired by the mysterious owner of the mines Mr. Petrov, Yuri is excited to move into the man’s mansion.

But not all is what it appears, and soon Yuri realizes not everyone is his friend.

Yuri is a harrowing tale of what ends people would go to for family and for fortune.

Just remember, the key to surviving;

Don’t eat the stew.

Contest Update and Next book release! (Sort of kind of)

Alright alright!  I see we have a problem here!!!

SOOOO, when I did the Jane contest, I had 76 entries!!!! 76!!!! Wowsa.

So far with the review contest, which is roughly a week old, I have – ZERO entries.

Getting reviews is one of the hardest things in the world.  Every review of my work on amazon or goodreads equals eyeballs on the releases!

So please, if you have read anything and finished it, please please please take a minute to leave a review!

Now, as for the next book release!

I am currently re-editing and plotting a re-release of The Fence.  After getting some feedback from some fellow authors (thank you all!), the best course of action is to begin to put some high quality stuff out, and in this case, I wanted to package The Fence better.

So The Fence will become Frostbitten: 12 Hymns of Misery.  This will package For Balder Walks (which was only available as a stand alone story before) with the 11 stories from the Fence.  I have worked with the original cover designer of For Balder Walks to update it and have included it below!

I am looking at having a July 1st release date, followed by the second batch of short stories (Left Hand Path) out in August.  Left Hand Path is completed, I am just waiting on artwork.

I will be also re-releasing my first novel Invincible.  A lot of this is for ease of ordering for those interested!

So once Frostbitten is released, The Fence and For Balder will cease to exist as available ebooks or physical copies, so if you own either now, you have a collectors item!

I will have an update on the next wave of Kids Adventure stuff hopefully this week as well!

Cheers!

Steve
