About this author

Shaun Jeffrey was brought up in a house in a cemetery, so it was only natural for his prose to stray towards the dark side when he started writing. He has had five novels published, The Kult, Killers, Evilution, Fangtooth and Deadfall, and one collection of short stories, Voyeurs of Death. He has also had over 40 short stories published in places such as Dark Discoveries and Cemetery Dance. His novel The Kult was optioned for film.


My experiences with paid advertising have been mediocre, but in those cases, it's usually been a single random add posted now and again. Now I've planned a promotion blitz with my novel, The Kult, starting next weekend. I'm using lots of sites to see whether combining them over a few days will work better (of course what works for one book won't work for another and there are lots of variables... read more »

message 7: by Ed

Ed Rambeau Thanks for accepting my friend request, Shaun. You seem like an interesting person, as I see you're quite a prolific author, so feel free to tell me more about yourself and perhaps we can grow to become even greater friends. I, myself, am a singer/songwriter/actor who has recently turned author. My 2 top ten recordings were CONCRETE & CLAY (as a singer) and NAVY BLUE (as a writer)...both in the early 1960's. My first novel is an unusual murder mystery entitled: FORBIDDEN STEPS.

Regards, and have a great day, Ed

Cheryl Landmark Thanks for accepting my friend request, Shaun. I'm looking forward to reading some of your books.


Pamela Hey Shaun...Thanks for accepting my friend request.

Shaun Thanks for the request :)


message 3: by Brian

Brian Steele Okay, I am almost positive that your book "Voyeurs of Death" is at my local library. I remember the cover. As a Art School drop-out who designs all his own book covers, I recall seeing the cover to "Voyeurs of Death" and being impressed with the imagery. If indeed a copy has made its way to mid-Ohio, I'll be checking it out immediately!


message 2: by Roger

Roger Cottrell Hi Shaun,
Always good to meet another writer and I will DEFINITELY check out your books.
Thanks for the friendship on Goodreads.
ROGER


Louise Thanks for friending me, Shaun. :)

Take care,

Louise
