Free ebook Day 2!

~ stevestredauthor ~ 1 Comment

Day 2 of my free ebooks over on Amazon! Today is my debut novel Invisible. Kindly described by Author Justin M. Woodward as “Widow’s Point Meets A Monster Calls.” Grab it today folks!

Synopsis

From the author of Frostbitten: 12 Hymns of Misery, comes his first full length nightmare.

Chased across the country-side by a ravenous beast, haunted by the decisions he has made.
The Lighthouse, where nothing appears to be what it is.

A noise, constantly drawing him in, but keeping him at a distance from answers.
All of it comes to a crescendo, crashing down around him.

Invisible is a gut wrenching ride across a nightmarish landscape, filled with music references, peppered with claustrophobic bouts within the Lighthouse. Part fiction, part auto-biography, Invisible will etch itself into your subconscious long after you have finished reading.

 

Free ebook day 1!

Hey guys! Each day this week, one of my releases is free through Amazon! Today’s free book is my sci-fi/horror novella Jane: the 816 Chronicles!

Synopsis:

Hope. What lengths would you go to, when all you have is hope? For Jane, known medically as 816, that is all she has. She hopes to be free one day, free from the torture, the captivity and the loneliness. She wants to be free, with her best friend Penny, known medically as 815, experiencing life outside of their caged walls.

Jane: The 816 Chronicles is a story about ‘a being’ discovering the world and people around her. A being discovering that sometimes situations and people are completely outside of her control, but still doing their best to look towards the positive, even when it becomes apparent, that what you see, isn’t always what you get.

Please snag it today while it is free!

1 Week to go!

~ stevestredauthor ~ 1 Comment

 

Hey all!  1 week to go until Wagon Buddy comes out!  (Technically next Saturday, but I do all my blogging Monday to Friday 🙂 ).

Very excited for this release.  I believe I have released quality content and compelling stories over the course of my short literary ‘career’, but Wagon Buddy, I believe, is a step up.  I believe the release after – Yuri, is the same.  My hope for these two novellas is that it increases my profile in the Dark Horror World!

There’s a few folks I for sure need to thank for my continued improvement and for a more polished professional product.

  • author JZ Foster.  I consider JZ to be a friend.  Since I first messaged him to say I was enjoying one of his books, we have stayed in touch and now chat daily.  He kindly formatted my releases to make them a more polished product.  I almost cried when I saw the Left Hand Path release.  I had done everything on my own (minus covers) prior and to see it look like a real published release was overwhelming.  Thank you so much man!
  • author Justin Woodward.  I also consider Justin a friend.  Same ideas here, where I messaged him over on twitter and we began conversing.  Really great guy and a fantastic author.  Justin has given me great feedback over the short time we have been friends and seeing his thought process has been great.
  • Mason McDonald.  Another friend.  He crushed the covers for Left Hand Path and for Yuri and Wagon Buddy.  Really appreciate it man, and I can’t wait for the world to see the terrors you will be releasing soon!
  • My Street Team (Jodi, Amanda, Toni and Mason).  You all have been instrumental with feedback (good and bad) and I always appreciate hearing your thoughts!  (Boy do I have dark stuff coming for you haha!)
  • Lastly – David Sodergren.  Boy have you been fantastic mate.  David helped edit Frostbitten, Yuri and Wagon Buddy.  He took a fine tooth comb through the releases and really crushed it.  I wish I would have been able to get him to do Left Hand Path, as now from some of his notes, I see little mistakes I did in that release.  As an indie author you frequently live and learn.  I seriously can’t thank you enough man!

So for Wagon Buddy the pre-release orders for the ebooks are up and the physical copy orders should be live hopefully in the next day or two!

I will give you the ole Yuri update next week after launch, but look for a few contests coming up for Wagon Buddy!

Cheers

September Release #2!

Hey all!  Sorry for the radio silence during the release of Frostbitten: 12 Hymns of Misery here on the blog.

Truth is, I only use the blog when I am at work.  I have the tab saved on my computer and I find this site doesn’t load that well on my phone 🙂

So apologies!  But September 1st saw the release of Frostbitten, and man alive, the support has been amazing.  Very cool of everyone who has picked one up!

But I am not done yet for September!

On the 15th, Wagon Buddy is coming out!

Kindle pre-orders are now up and running!

A few things #2

Hey, me again, sorry for another email today!

 

Just wanted to let you know – I have added another free short story to my page.  Edge of the Woods is a coming-of-age tale of a few friends enjoying tether ball at school. But something lurks just beyond the Edge of the Woods.

 

Enjoy

Steve
