Things Are Changing For The Gallows Novels...
I have a few important announcements to make regarding The Gallows Novels:
*Availability for The Gallows Novels outside of Amazon
Book #1: Blood Bound is now available on Smashwords to download for free. Check it out here: https://www.smashwords.com/books/view...
Book #2: Demon Divided is also available on Smashwords. Here’s the link for that: https://www.smashwords.com/books/view...
Book #3: Fate Fallen will be uploaded to Smashwords on or around the 1st May.
Book #4: Curse Corrupted will be uploaded to Smashwords on the same day as Fate Fallen.
So what does this mean, you may ask? Well, Smashwords – as well as allowing anyone to download/purchase my eBooks in numerous handy formats from their own awesome site - will distribute my books to such other awesome places as Barnes & Noble and the i-tunes store so they will be available to a much bigger audience, which is very cool!
Note: As Blood Bound is free on Smashwords, anyone who wants to download it from Amazon for free can notify them of the lower price so that they will price-match it. I hope to make it free on all platforms utilising this facility so if you notify Amazon of the lower price I thank you kindly in advance!
*Price Changes on Amazon
Books #2 & #3: Demon Divided & Fate Fallen will be going up in price to $2.99 / £1.85 on 1st April, so if you’ve read Blood Bound and hadn’t quite gotten around to grabbing the next books in the series, now would be the time to get them while they are still $0.99 / £0.77 -

Amazon UK: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Sharon-Steven...
*Coming Soon
I have some exciting ideas up my sleeves including:
*Making Book #6 in this series free if the other Gallows novels hit 100 reviews each before 1st December this year (this is when the 6th book will be due for release). My thinking behind this proposal is simple: my books have had a decent number of downloads but I’m not seeing a lot of reviews so far. There will be more news on this proposal next month, including a fun little review writing tutorial!
*Making Back From The Dark (Teri’s Story) an email exclusive story to reward fans who sign up to my email list – the list will be up and running some time in May and I will announce it right here on my blog as well as providing a link to it on my Email List page on this website. The first chapter is currently available to read on Wattpad but the full story will only be made available to those who sign up for the list so if you really wanna read the rest you know what you need to do! If you need other reasons to join my list you’ll also receive news on release dates, special offers/discounts/giveaways, first chance at ARC copies of my books, and I will even ask you to vote on what the next email exclusive story should be about! Check back in May for more info on the list. This is the link to the first chapter on Wattpad http://www.wattpad.com/9707276-back-f...
That’s all for now! Thanks for reading and let me know if you have any questions on any of the above announcements.

New Release: Back from the Dark (A Gallows Short: Teri's Story)
Announcement: My email list has officially been closed down. What this means: if you’re keen to know when my books are out you’ll need to do one of the following; subscribe to this blog, like my facebook page, follow me on twitter, and/or add me as a favourite on Amazon.
Anyway, the good news behind this change is that I’ll be releasing the email exclusive short stories on wattpad, smashwords, and goodreads, so that fans of the Gallows Novels can easily find and read them for free in various formats!
The first story to be released is ‘Back from the Dark’ and focuses on popular recurring character Teri (aka Elle). This is best read after ‘Fate Fallen’, the third Gallows Novel, as it contains spoilers for the first three books. Enjoy!
Links to where you can read or download this short story:
Wattpad: http://www.wattpad.com/story/3346331-...
Goodreads: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...
Smashwords: https://www.smashwords.com/books/view...
Next up:
The next short story will feature an important character I’ll be introducing in ‘Spirit Splintered’, the sixth Gallows Novel. I know several fans have been waiting for her to show up ever since book one, so this revealing bit of her backstory will be released soon after the novel comes out. Watch out for release dates nearer the end of this year!
