AK350Z Posted April 27, 2010 Share Posted April 27, 2010 Right folks, a good friend of mine, Thomas Fletcher, has had his nose to the grindstone of future authourship for the last 10 years, and now all the hard work is about to come to fruition! He is a budding writer of horror and thriller fiction, and is about to publish his first full novel. This novel, The Leaping, is published through Quercus. Quercus are a proper publisher, so this is not some self published vanity project, someone (or rather quite a few people) think the boy has real potential! (Me too) As his deal is for two books, the second, The Thing On The Shore, will be out next year. Tom has worked so hard at this, all the while grinding away at less than stellar job at United Utillities in call center hell (a theme of the second book too ). He really deserves for this to take off, his writing style is tight and fluid, and he's a wasted talent training phone munkeys for UU! I've read the draft of The Leaping, so I'm really excited about the launch this friday, and doing my best to shift a few copies So then, please please please, if you have an interest in thriller or horror fiction (or even better, if, like me, you normally don't) please buy a copy or two from Amazon: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Leaping-Tom-Fletcher/dp/1849161356/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1272407003&sr=8-1 You might be getting in on the next Stephen King The Authors Blog can be found here: http://fellhouse.wordpress.com/ Go and read it for news and fiction samplets! Please post up if you buy a copy, It's out on friday Thanks for reading! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nixy Posted April 28, 2010 Share Posted April 28, 2010 I used to read a lot of horror years ago - james herbert, stephen King etc but i'm too scared to read them now when i'm alone on a night - i started freaking myself out! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AK350Z Posted April 28, 2010 Author Share Posted April 28, 2010 Go on Nix, this only has one really "bad" scene in it ( ), and when it all kicks off, you'll be hooked! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nixy Posted April 29, 2010 Share Posted April 29, 2010 Mm, ok then, i'm a big reader - if its cheap enough i'll buy it and take it on my hols so Markie can protect me if I get scared! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AK350Z Posted April 30, 2010 Author Share Posted April 30, 2010 Cheeky Bump for launch day! Tom has told me it should be in most WHSmith and Waterstones Stores from today, so keep an eye out for it! Thanks to any folks who have bought it already Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
