Shot Down

A good man. A split-second decision. A life he can never go back to.

Dr. Simon Spero is not a hero. He’s not a cop. He’s not trained for violence. He’s a doctor. A husband. A father. And when an unspeakable act shatters his quiet life, he does what many men promise themselves they would do. He buys a gun.

He tells himself it’s for protection. For safety. For peace of mind. But the first time he pulls the trigger, everything changes.

A man is dead. And that's only the beginning.

As guilt gives way to paranoia and revenge creeps closer to his front door, Simon is forced into a world he never imagined entering — one where the law, morality, and survival no longer align.

Every choice he makes pulls his family deeper into danger. Because sometimes protecting the people you love… means becoming someone you never wanted to be.

SHOT DOWN is a gripping crime thriller about consequence, fear, and how far an ordinary man will go when the line between right and wrong disappears.

Perfect for readers who love high-stakes suspense, psychological tension, and stories where one decision changes everything.

Running Still

People are dying. The clock is running out. And someone knew it was coming.

When a previously unseen form of cancer sweeps through his quiet town, Jack Turner’s world collapses overnight. His wife and children receive the same diagnosis. Doctors call it bad luck.

It was planned.

Reviews for Running Still

“Running Still is an absolute page-turner.

You can’t put it down. Author Steven Sheiner combines suspense, intrigue and ingenuity in his first thrill-filled book. It’s a well-written story, super easy to read, destined to be a summer hit! The story line intertwines intrigue in a well detailed plot about a large pharmaceutical company, throws in a bit of conspiracy and spying, with family values and a tad of romance. The pages keep turning themselves. Run, don’t wait, to get “Running Still!” -Melinda

“This wasn't a book it was a run on pure adrenaline.

And boy what a ride I had. This story had me riveted from page one through Jacks journey of discovery, heartache and the guts to make things right for his family, until the nail biting end. There was so much action the story didn't rest for a second. the tension, excitement, fear, plot, subplot, amazing characters and more, all drew me into the complex story eliciting tears for the dead and dying, fear from the killer, excitement in rooting for Jack and his friends and the joy of the final outcome. Thank you Steven Sheiner, I'll buy a front seat ticket to see the movie some day. -Kitty
