Sharon Stevenson's Blog - Posts Tagged "hell-halved"

I have an exciting announcement to make; starting next month I’ll be going back to monthly themes on the blog! July’s theme is ‘Liquid Happiness’ so there will be some fun and frank posts with a deliciously alcoholic twist. So why should you care? Well, here are some reasons for you:



Flash Fiction Competition:

I’m now taking submissions for an alcohol themed piece of short fiction. Any genre and no limitations other than the word count, which I am setting at a maximum of 500 words. I’ll post the best entry on my blog in July and the winner gets a $20 prize sent through paypal! Entries to be received by 27th June 2014. Winner will be notified on or before 30th June.

Email me your entry with’ Flash Fiction’ in the subject line : sharonstevensonauthor@gmail.com




Ask a Silly Question:

As a just-for-fun trial feature on my blog I invite you all to submit your questions on life, the universe and everything… However I ask that you stay within the monthly themes so basically this time around ask about anything you’ve ever wondered about alcohol! I am somewhat an expert on the drinking of it but I can’t – scratch that, won’t, - promise that my answers will be accurate in any conceivable way! So what do you get out of asking me silly questions, other than allowing me to be my wonderfully weird self in reply?

Well I invite you to email me links to your facebook page and twitter along with your question and I will like/friend and follow because you are quite clearly awesome :)

Anything else I can ’like’ for you, let me know. If you have a blog send me a link and I will tweet your latest post. If you have books on amazon send me the link and I will tweet about your books.

Feel like asking a silly question?

Email me with ‘Silly Question’ in the subject line: sharonstevensonauthor@gmail.com

Note: Along with your question and links be sure to let me know what name you want me to use in the blog post and if you want me to include one of the links in the post then let me know which one! I will stop taking questions on the 27th June.




Other Reasons:

So what more could you want? Well I’ll be doing a couple of giveaways, sharing with you some of my favourite cocktails and of course there will be an alcohol doused excerpt shared from the next Gallows novel ’Hell Halved’. I may even share a few drunken tales of my own but I suppose you’ll just have to come back if you want to find out more about that…


For now get emailing me your boozy short stories and crazy questions; I can’t wait to read them! Cheers! :)

It’s July and it’s officially Liquid Happiness month on the blog, hooray! This month marks the release of Gallows Novel no 5 ‘Hell Halved’ and I will be revealing the cover for this book tomorrow, along with the blurb and release date. I also have a giveaway to go along with this reveal so be sure to check it out.





But back to the monthly theme; I’ll be sharing my Top 5 Cocktails and how to make them on Friday 4th of July, which is not only a fantastic holiday in the USA but is also my wedding anniversary so yeah I’ll be having a drink that night! Why not join me with one of my easy to make cocktails?

Exciting news: I have had the pleasure of interviewing Stephen Kozeniewski, author of the awesomely entertaining ‘Braineater Jones’ which features a zombie who needs to alcohol to stay fresh and stave off those nasty brain cravings but during prohibition that's not an easy thing to find. Check out the interview right here on Friday the 11th July.

I will also be sharing some alcohol-dipped excerpts from the Gallows series over the next few weeks which you may want to keep an eye on since I’ll have a few flash cash-prize giveaways with the answers hidden in the excerpts. Check out my blog every Tuesday from the 8th on for one of these excerpts and earn yourself some drinking money by being the fastest on the draw with the answer when I ask the question on a random day after the excerpt - get ready!

Blurb:

Twin demon trackers Sarah and Shaun Gallows are used to taking out supernatural threats...

Sarah is determined to take on powerful vampire Red Carling, even if she has to work with his crazy daughter Melissa to get the job done. Together they set off to seek out the witch who made him, heading into White Oak's one and only vampire brothel.

Shaun spends time with Teri to find out what his purpose is as the Seelie Knight. He lets slip that Roman is missing and the pressure is then on to find the Darklands fairy, heightening when Teri demands her necklace back in an attempt to find her ex-boyfriend herself. To top off his growing list of problems, his sister expects him to work with Ben to take out Red Carling's vampires.

When Flicky accidentally summons a demon while trying to help Sarah's best friend Dev, her confidence is shattered and her nerves shot. The twins need her magic for the big fight but she's not so sure she's up to the task.

Sarah knows it isn't going to be easy but she also knows they all need to work together to get through this. It's time for the most powerful vampire in town to eat stake.
