And here is another great review of TimeSplash, this time from the marvellous Chris at Nerfreader. (You just know that a blog called Nerfreader is going to be good, don’t you?) Here’s an excerpt: “ I find many time travel stories are overly concerned with paradoxes. I tune out whenever there are long explanations of things [...] I’ve mentioned before, I think, that one of the surprises of having a book published is the number of times you have to read it through. I don’t mean all those times you read it through as you’re writing it, to make sure that final draft is as fluent and coherent as possible, but [...] TimeSplash has been having a good day. Sadly, I can’t tell you about most of it (sorry) but I hope to be making a very exciting announcement soon. What I can mention is a great review I found at 1889 Labs just now by author MCM. One of the delights of having a book [...] Here’s something I didn’t expect to see. It is a certificate from the US Copyright Office for TimeSplash. Of course, I already owned the copyright in TimeSplash as soon as I’d finished writing it under Australian and International law, but America is special. There, to protect your rights, you have to bung the Government [...] Again, I owe thanks to the wonderful Joanna Penn of The Creative Penn for showing an interest in TimeSplash, my time travel thriller, and in me and what I’m learning about publishing and promoting my first novel.

Now it is over and it feels just like yesterday. The TimeSplash Virtual Book Tour has come to an end with a spectacular 6 part wrap-up interview with Andy Shackcloth. And, now it is done, [...] When Janette Dalgliesh, my blog tour host for today, asked me to do a piece about ‘turning points’, I knew exactly which particular one she had in mind. However, on reflection, even in just the writerly side of my life, there have been so many. Mostly they have stemmed from decisions I have made [...] Joanna Penn Today, the TimeSplash blog tour is the guest of writer and book marketing guru Joanna Penn. And, for the occasion, I have posted about a few of the things I have learned about book promotion, in a piece called, “Marketing Your First Book: 9 Tips For Authors”. Some of them I [...] I’ve just realised the TimeSplash website looks crap in Inetrnet Explorer. If you are an IE user (and there are still a few, I believe) please accept my apologies. It looks fine in Firefox and Safari and on my HTML editor’s IE simulator. Just not on the real thing. I’ll look into it but [...] In researching times and places for the scenes in TimeSplash, I found the Web immensely valuable. I knew most of the places quite well already, but only in the present. The past and the future were another matter. I’ll leave the telling of how I developed future settings for another post. Here I want [...] |
