New Contest!!

Alright friends and fans!

Contest time!

This contest is directly related to the free download promo I did for my ebooks.

One of the hardest things to get from folks, is reviews on Amazon.  Why?  Who knows!

So as an enticement, I am having a contest, directly related to reviews.

How does it work?  Easy!

So from Today (May 7th, 2018) until July 1st, 2018, I ask you all, to leave a review of any of the books you have read.  Each review will get you an entry and a chance to win!   So if you downloaded all of my books and leave a review for each one, you will get an entry for each review!

Once you leave the review, send me a message, email, text etc, just saying that you left a review and about which book.  If you can tell me the review title as well, that would be great! IE: Loved it!  Or Not my cup of tea!

“But Steve, what if I didn’t like your book? What if I only give it 1 start out of 5?”

No worries!  All I ask is for you to leave a constructive review.  If Horror isn’t your thing, then say that!  If you didn’t like characters, thought something was too long, too short, whatever reason, please just write it down in the review.  I take nothing personal.  If you didn’t like it, I understand!  That’s the joy of books!

What do you win?

Great question!!!

I am going to award 2 lucky winners a neat prize!

Each lucky winner will end up receiving a pre-release copy of my next book of short stories Left Hand Path: 13 More Tales of Black Magick, when it is ready to be released!

As a secondary prize, (and I hope this isnt too corny!) I will be thanking you each personally in the Author’s afterword section of the book!

So please, if you would be so kind, leave a review!

Who knows, you may just end up with a free book!

Cheers

Steve

JANE IS RELEASED!!!!

Here we are!  April 20, 2018!  The release for Jane is here!

Thank you to all who entered the giveaway contest!  I had 76 entries, so I decided to giveaway a 2nd copy (my personal pre-release!).  Congrats Amanda and Gavin for the wins!  I will be including each of the limited edition covers as well.  Originally I was going to try and make them all fancy, but that failed so I just printed them out 🙂

I am so excited for the release of Jane for two big reasons;

1 – I love Jane.  The character is so lovely and endears so much.

2 – This is my first release that has a physical copy available through amazon.ca!!!  If you live in Canada, its ordered from and shipped from Canada!  No exchange and no crazy shipping costs!  I know this has been a barrier for some folks!

So without further ado!

Jane Limited Edition Covers

As the date grows closer to Jane: The 816 Chronicles being released (THIS FRIDAY! APRIL 20TH!!), I wanted to touch on the “limited edition covers” that I had previously mentioned.

At one point I was going to attempt to do a pre-release link and anyone who ordered them would be sent one of these.  Well the ability to do that pre-release was pretty much zero, so I am going to send one of these to the winner of the book contest!

There is a black and white cover, as well as color cover option.  Neither of these is the finalized, finished Jane cover!

If you havent entered yet, there is still time!  The winner will be announced on this Thursday, April 19th!

Head to my facebook page – facebook.com/stevestredauthor

or my twitter page – twitter.com/stevestred to find out the details!

 

Good luck!

The very exciting part is that for the first time ever, I will releasing this as a physical copy on amazon.ca!  Previously the physical stuff was only available through amazon.com which meant exchange plus increased shipping!!

Jane Update and a few other things

Hey friends and fans!

Jane: The 816 Chronicles is about to be unleashed!  The original release date of May 1st is dead, but that’s only because it will be released before that date!

I have switched to Create Space which means the physical copies of the book will be available through both Amazon.com and Amazon.ca!  That’s right, my Canadian folk will be able to order it in Canadian funds with Canadian shipping!  For my location in Alberta, book + shipping was a skiff over $13!  CANADIAN!  I will be looking at my options to switch the other physical copies over to Create Space as well!

I am going to be doing an Author Proof give-away shortly for Jane, I will keep you posted!

And finally, my original collection of short stories; The Fence: and Other Sordid Tales has been re-formatted!

There was some weird formatting issues previously with it, but that has all been updated now!

Cheers!
