My books are on sale (all six of them)


Just a reminder to my visitors that you can still buy my published books at Amazon. The link is here: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Steven-Mace/e/B005JJLWX6

That Amazon author page contains the six books plus some of my short story magazine publications that are also linked.

I have written and published six books. There are two full length novels: Copper Moon Rising and Staccato House; three collections of short stories: Beyond Twilight, The Splendour of Shadows and Echoes and Exiles; and a YA novella, The Pirate Princess.

In terms of genre, Copper Moon Rising is a blend of SF and Fantasy. Staccato House is an psychological thriller based on the occult and some supernatural themes. It could also be categorised as 'weird fiction'. It was influenced by the film 'Eyes Wide Shut' and some occult fiction/conspiracy theories. The Pirate Princess is a YA fantasy adventure. I've been planning a sequel which has been in the works for a number of years. The short story collections are a mixture of everything: horror, fantasy, science fiction, occult & supernatural, psychological thriller, satire and urban realist fiction.

The original quartet published in 2010-2012

A Small World

Image
About three weeks ago, I accepted an invitation from a volunteer who helps me with Italian football research to join a website called 'A Small World'. ASW is a social networking website, very similar to Facebook with one major difference - it's invitation only. Once you join, you have access to all features of the site. However, despite gaining access you don't immediately have the means to send out invitations to others. ASW say that "Trusted and loyal ASW members who meet certain criteria have the privilege of inviting a limited number of their friends." As yet, I do not have the power to invite others to join. It's the highbrow Facebook, basically. Tiger Woods is a member, along with numerous other celebrities. However there are strict controls on who you can contact and what kind of things you can post in discussion forums and the 'events' areas of the website. ASW also has this to say about itself to potential advertisers: "An inte...

The Mothers of Darkness Castle

Image
Some intrepid and courageous explorers posted their visit to the infamous "Mothers of Darkness" castle on Youtube. More information about this site, which may be of interest: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chateau_des_Amerois https://fourhorsemen66.com/2018/12/16/chateau-des-amerois-mothers-of-darkness-castle-most-evil-place-in-the-world/ It's no surprise to me that a place like this would be in a sorry country like Belgium. I have personally met and had dealings with one or two extremely unpleasant people from Belgium. However, I digress. The story of this place helped inspire some of my ideas for my novel Staccato House.

One Thousand and One Nights; or, The Arabian Nights

Image
The One Thousand and One Nights , popularly known as The Arabian Nights , is a composite work compiled from Middle Eastern and Indian folklore during the first millennium AD. In its earliest form, its origin was in tales from India and Persia, and then Arab tales were added to it- most of them dating from the period of the  Umayyad and  Abbasid Caliphates. Many of these stories are based around the adventures of the Caliph of Baghdad, Harun al-Rashid and his vizier (advisor) Ja'far the Barmecide . ( Harun al-Rashid was an actual historic figure, although his real-life vizier was Ja'far's father, Yahya . The  real Ja'far was mysteriously executed, although it was possibly for an affair with the caliph's sister.) Then later, more folk tales from Syria and Egypt have been added to create as many stories in the Arabian Nights to fill up over a thousand nights. I've read the Penguin Classics English Translation by Malcolm C.Lyons and Ursula Lyons, with a...
