I had so much fun running in the carrydoors of Paradise Towers.
Thrilled to say I have a story in Ice Hot, edited by Kara Dennison and published by @obversebooks
Details and pre-order here: https://obversebooks.co.uk/product/ice-hot/
My new novel from @TitanBooks, DEATH AT THE DRESS REHEARSAL, should be in lots of ASDAs now, as part of their two books for £9 deal.
Check here for local availability!
Picked up the three most recent books in @obversebooks's fantastic Black Archive series, which takes deep, focused dives into the history and analysis individual #DoctorWho stories.
It's basically like Bloomsbury's equally fantastic 33 1/3 series, but on our favorite old TV show instead of our favorite old albums.
Highly recommended, if you're into that sort of thing. And they're on sale right now as well!
This week on the blog: I review a new stand-alone sci-fi book by @scottmliddell and published by @obversebooks - titled, appropriately enough, SCIENCE FICTION:

'How far, Doctor? How long have you lived?'
Long ago, eight past lives were brought briefly into focus, only to disappear once more.
Now, those Doctors return in the final stories from their forgotten lives.
FORGOTTEN LIVES III - pre-order open from now to 1 December.
A reminder of the upcoming Black Archives:
Dec 2023 – #68: The Happiness Patrol by Mike Stack
Feb 2024 – #69: Ascension of the Cybermen / The Timeless Children by Ryan Bradley
Apr 2024 – #70: Frontios by Paul Driscoll
June 2024 – #71: The Aztecs by Doris V Sutherland
We are sad to announce that, due to Paul Simpson’s retirement following his recent serious heart attack, we have decided to bring the Gold Archive to an end after only three volumes.
It was Paul who commissioned and edited the initial titles and without his input there would be no range at all.
The existing titles will continue to be available, but without Paul's involvement, there seems little point in continuing, as the knowledge and standards he brought are simply not available elsewhere.
The LULU editions of @obversebooks's acclaimed @blackarchive book range now include the three latest releases, The Myth Makers by me, The Greatest Show in the Galaxy by @mrdalesmith and The Edge of Destruction by @0tralala. Accessible #DoctorWho scholarship without the word "Jabolite" or debates on how to spell it.
Also available as ebooks or in paperback direct from the publisher, but probably cheaper from Lulu if you're outside the UK.
We've published everything from a story in Welsh to a whole book in Dalekese; done books on tv tie-in paperbacks and Dr Who Annuals; reprinted forgotten 50s kids books and put out three different books on Sapphire & Steel; given new life to Iris Wildthyme and Faction Paradox.
But now we're publishing an original standalone science fiction novel for the first time!
The new novel by @sml, available for pre-order now: SCIENCE FICTION!
It's my birthday tomorrow, so in honour of that - and a slightly bigger Doctor Who birthday in less than a month - a £1 code off any of the first twenty Black Archive ebooks.

“What's that,” you increasingly frustrating fail to ask, “You have a new story in @obversebooks ‘ latest #IrisWildthyme #ShortStory collection Locked in Space? How did that come about?” Well, dear friend, please go to https://dalesmithonline.com/get-asked-write/locked-space and find out.
While the new version of the Doctor Who theme tune is trending, why not read the autobiography of the man who came up with the best reimagining of Delia's iconic music, Peter Howell (he did MUCH more as well!)

A little reminder that you have a week to order the Forgotten Lives omnibus hardback, and then we'll be closing the order window for good.
People asked for it, so we're putting an order page up and if we get enough pre-orders, we'll do a hardback omnibus of Forgotten Lives.
New cover by Cody using elements of Paul's original artwork, but minus the full page interior illos from the paperbacks for reasons of space, and to keep the cost at just quite pricey and not eye bleedingly pricey!
This can't end well. I've already sent emails to our exec and data security departments about this.
