Feed Your Reader Giveaway Hop

August 22, 2012

Welcome to the Feed Your Reader Giveaway Hop hosted by the lovely I Am A Reader, Not A Writer and Books: A True Story

My giveaway is for a friends recent release. Steven Shrewsbury has many books out, the newest Hell Billy I am offering in your choice of format. Open internationally.

Fill in the rafflecopter and keep your fingers crossed.

When a series of bizarre murders take place in reconstruction era Memphis, former Confederate General Nathan Bedford Forrest is summoned to help solve matters. The occupying Union forces Commandant, General Michaels, sees members of his family killed in a fashion unique to a killer in Forrest’s cavalry brand, one William Hells. Nathan assures him Billy died in the war. However, when the Commandant’s brother is murdered, Billy is captured before Forrest’s own eyes. Confused over the implications that a man he buried still lives, Forrest finds some consolation in Hells execution…until Billy again strikes Michael’s kin at a whorehouse the next day. Again, Billy is shot dead and Michaels thinks his family safe.

But he’s wrong. Billy returns again.

For some, the war isn’t over and Hell walks on two legs.

A story of revenge, courage and redemption, HELL BILLY treads on the borderlands of the human soul and what lies across the brink.

 

Steven L. Shrewsbury hails from Central Illinois, enjoys football, history, guns, politics and good fiction. 365 of his short stories have been published in print or digital media. His novels THRALL, STRONGER THAN DEATH, HAWG, TORMENTOR, and GODFORSAKEN run from horror to historical fantasy. He’s also collaborated with other authors, notable Nate Southard in the Hardback limited novel BAD MAGICK and Peter Welmerink with BEDLAM UNLEASHED.

Sunday Shorts

June 3, 2012

Sunday Shorts is a new meme started by the CabinGoddess.com. The rules are easy, a short story, an anthology of short stories, a novella, or a quick weekend read that is also short on your wallet!

 

Today’s Short is a book by an author who kindly guest posted just yesterday. He’s great fun, a good friend and with his new short story out how much more perfect could the choice be?

Beginning of the Trail is a preamble to Overkill Steven Shrewsbury’s most recent release. It and the other shorts stories available on Gorias La Gaul expand on this larger than life character. For only 99 cents you’d be crazy to not sample a hearty tale.

 

 

 

Overkill review.    Beginning of the Trail available for Kindle and Nook

Monday Mailbox

May 27, 2012


Mailbox Monday is a weekly event started by Marcia, and is now hosted on a blog rotation. Martha of Reviews by Martha’s Bookshelf is the host for the month of May.

Like my dragon mailbox? I found it on Vegan Flower who I hope doesn’t mind my using it for Monday Mailbox post. Now to the books.

Dragons was fitting with my getting a free ebook copy of Redheart by Jackie Gamber. I hope you all got a copy as well.

I got a free copy of Dare Me some sexy short erotica that I saw mentioned in a facebook group I’m in. All those groups are awesome and with luck it’ll get me to read up for my erotica reading challenge I am so going to fail all my challenges this year I can already tell. Le sigh.

The Cabin Goddess mentioned Sandcastle and other stories in a recent post, then when I had the option to review it whenever I had the time omg no deadline I said yeah send it on over.

I purchased a copy of Skull Full of Kisses by Michael West and HAWG by Steven Shrewsbury from smashwords only $2.99 each and both authors are friends of mine so yeah support those authors and get some great reads!

 

 

Lastly my only physical book Shadow and Bone from MacMillan and part of the awesome Fierce Reads collection of YA books. I think I have one more coming my way.

 

 

 

Okay one thing that I forgot to post in last weeks post and this one but I remembered before the post went live is a ring I won from Boobies, well on Boobies her blog I mean. Anyway she had a giveaway for this super cool ring from Wired Essentials and I was the uber lucky winner. See


I totally love it. Hand made and so pretty. It fits perfect I forgot to take a pic because my brain is made of Swiss cheese but this is what it looks like. Check the Etsy store for awesomeness. Thank you to Boobies and Danielle

Overkill by Steven Shrewsbury review

May 8, 2012

Overkill by Steven Shrewsbury is free on amazon today and tomorrow be sure to get a copy.

Steven Shrewsbury has created with Gorias La Gaul a larger than life character. A prequel to Thrall we get to enjoy more of Gorias and his most excellent adventures, be they bedding endless ladies or killing the bad guys in the most spectacular of fashion.

This story is great fun with many laughs, endless action and fantastically well written battle scenes. I found myself cheering Gorias on wanting to know how it ended and gaping in shock that a 700 + year old man had the stamina of a 19 year old. Go Gorias.

Gorias is a character to get to know. One who will charm the pants right off you, or slice them off as the case may be.

This is a great read for those who enjoy action, adventure, sword fighting and a great deal of humor in a story. One to add to the TBR list, I’m already looking forward to the next one in the series.

Deliverance will come… A great flood once wiped clean the earth, destroying everything upon it. Before the deluge, in a time now forgotten, the world was a place of warriors and witches, conflicts between kingdoms, and, until their extermination, dragons. In this world, men may live centuries, fallen angels have begotten terrifying spawn, and sometimes, the best hope can be found in a brothel.

In the land of Transalpina, a new religion spreads, and important men are dying mysteriously, slain by what can only be the fire of dragon breath. Summoned by the Queen Garnet, the legendary warrior Gorias La Gaul returns to the place where he once saved the queen’s young granddaughter from treachery and enslavement. The Princess Nykia is gone, and soon others may try to claim the throne. The queen has little choice but to turn to the only man who ever told her no.

With the aid of one of the queen’s elite guard, the battle maiden Alena, and the young palace servant Orsen, the old mercenary will face pirates and traitors, monsters and foul magic in the quest to find the missing heir and learn the truth behind the disconcerting murders. Deliverance will come for Gorias La Gaul, but for now there are women to love, secrets to discover, and killing that needs doing.

Awww authors love me

BTW this is hard to explain but this line from your Goodreads review -- "What I got out of it is that we may not be the way we see ourselves and some people are just bat shit crazy" is actually one of my favorite things anyone's said about the book! somehow I feel like you've completely encapsulated my vision of the world here (which gives me a warm "my work here is done" type feeling... go figure!)
