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 ‘out there’ is [...]
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 a few dollars, [...]
At first, it seemed far, far away in the future. Then it began and seemed to go on forever. 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, I’d like [...]

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 I can’t promise [...]
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 to talk [...]
Those of you with keen eyes will have noticed a new tab at the top of this page labelled “The Blog Tour 2010″.
Click it.
It takes you to the itinerary for the 2010 TimeSplash Blog Tour.
Don’t just sit there, [...]
Edit, v., to suffer. Contr. of head hit, from the ancient publishing practice of whacking an author about the head with a contract until he or she submits.
At last I think – I hope! – the publisher’s edits are finished on TimeSplash. The text is now as good as it can be, considering what the mob [...]
