At least I already share a connection with my target readers,
the tribe of English speaking windsurfers. So marketing the
world’s first windsurfing novel to them is less daunting.
Where is your book being sold and/or
how can people get hold of it?
You can get it as a paperback, or download it as an Ebook,
from Amazon: www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B07MY6LZ99
Has the experience spurred you on to
follow up and write more? Teaser details?
Absolutely. I have plenty of ideas in the ‘Future Projects’ folder.
The problem is finding enough time to do them all justice.
I’ve been planning my next novel for a while now. ‘The
Rhythm of Time’ is about three musicians who live in the
same city, London, in three different centuries (17th, 21st,
and 24th). Their lives are so interlinked that it’s as if they
share one life. What links them is the ‘reincarnation of
ideas’. The novel explores the magical, mysterious
phenomenon of music, and the soul of that labyrinthine
city – how they can both change through the centuries, and
yet stay the same. It will combine three genres in one book:
historical fiction, contemporary fiction and science fiction.
Then I have an idea for a novel about two brothers escaping
the horrors of war in Syria (working title: ’The Road to Hell’).
They travel to Libya, experience the people-trafficking mafia,
survive crossing the Mediterranean (nearly drowning), and
arrive in Europe as illegal migrants. There they have
opposite experiences: one is assimilated and becomes
successful, but the other is alienated, radicalised, and
becomes a terrorist. The research for this book worries me.
Nikki and I are planning a collection of short stories: ‘I Woof
Therefore I Am – Gizmo’s Shaggy Dog Stories’ and I’m
working on my own collection: ‘Tales from the www Web’.
