Time and Time Again

How much fun have I had writing this new series? Totally inspired by the fabulous writings of Keith A Pearson and the wonderful crew at the Broadhall Social Club, this story is a meld of the geeky camaraderie of Big Bang Theory, the quirky, role-playing adventure of Stranger Things and the outrageous fantasy of the phenomenal Labyrinth, featuring an unforgettable performance by the awesome David Bowie.

Ok, so probably not the best decision to try yet another new genre, especially one that combines such disparate genres as Time Travel (sci-fi), Dungeons and Dragons (fantasy) and contemporary lad-lit (comedy). But I’m hoping it will find fans from all three disciplines.

A massive shout-out to my new cover designers – a fabulous Ukrainian outfit called getcovers, who created this gorgeous cover in just two days. I’m in awe, guys. As well as my fabulous editor Katy Haye – a phenomenal author of so many fabulous books, I’m thrilled to have found a couple of brand new beta readers, Andrea and Paul, who have generously supported me with their technical expertise. Thank you so much guys, I couldn’t have done this without you – you brighten my days and rock my world!

So, here’s the blurb – you can pick up book 1 of the Time Doctors series for the next couple of days at the pre-release price of a meagre £2.99/$3.49. Fingers crossed.

Time and Time Again
Big Bang Theory meets Stranger Things meets Labyrinth with a huge helping of time travel.
Ben has a problem. Well, several really, if the truth be told. With a borderline narcissist for a boss and a prankster lady-killer for a desk-mate, his work life at a gaming firm isn’t wall-to-wall playtime. The last thing he needs is a promotion, much less a bright, attractive feminist as the first addition to his new coding team. But when they all join the same Dungeons and Dragons party, it makes for an interesting life. Throw in a claustrophobic living arrangement and a global pandemic and there's plenty of scope for fun and adventure.
But what they find in the attic turns everything on its head.

For fans of modern adventure and quirky fantasy with irreverent British humour and a slice of the unexpected.

My Favourite 1980s Movie - Labyrinth

Actually, there's probably another half-dozen movies vying for favourite, but we'll get to them in another post.
This one has always had a special place in my heart, and now it has an even more special place as it's found its way into one of my books, as the setting for a Dungeons and Dragons campaign.

Coming to an e-reader near you very soon - look out for Time and Time Again.

Yeah, it's a great story with lots of twists and turns (literally), mazes, monsters and cracking puzzles, but the very best thing about it? David Bowie in his prime.

I have to admit to a huge thrill when I met Brian and Wendy Froud at a Fairy Festival - they were both truly magical, creative people, and how fun was it that their son, Toby played the baby in the film? Thankfully, he followed them into the movie industry - such a talented family.

And I couldn't finish without a mention of THAT DANCE.
If I ever did Strictly, this would be my Waltz.
