How Amazon categories can get you a movie deal
As regular readers of this blog will know, I’ve got a bit of a thing for time travel stories. It’s my guilty pleasure genre and this year I’ve been lucky enough to publish three of my own time travel titles. The Very Thought of You has had an option offer from a Hollywood producer, which is pretty amazing for an ebook novella that had only been on sale a month and sold about 25 copies when he got in touch …

Touchstone
One touch… and you’re who knows when? Rachel: the dirt poor girl brought up by her single parent father. Danny: the arrogant rich kid who has everything his wealthy parents can afford. Two History students who wouldn’t normally mix, but whose lives become entwined when an old gravestone catapults them back in time. In 1912, they explore their city’s dark past, a gritty, violent, gaslit world of real danger, and try to prevent the murder of a teenage girl at …
Why Hollywood wants your ebook
Today is a day of conflicting emotions. You see, my good friend Jonathan Turner, the man who wrote the best spec script I’ve ever read, is at the 2011 Screenwriting Expo in LA, and I was supposed to be there with him. I don’t feel too bad. It wasn’t a concrete promise. In fact, it’s something we’ve promised each other to do every year since we met, rather like the Jews of the diaspora who every Passover say ‘next year …
The Very Thought of You
What happens when you fall in love with a woman who died before you were born? The Very Thought of You is a timeslip ghost story novella about a young man’s obsession with Amy, the dead wife of an old man he visits. Community visitor Jez is assigned Harold, a cantankerous old codger who takes a venomous delight in confrontation and lives in a house that is falling down around him. But when Jez starts to see Amy’s ghost and …
Love me one time, baby
Anyone who’s ploughed through this site will know that I’ve got a bit of a thing for time travel stories, as well as a penchant for romcoms and tragic love stories like Somewhere in Time. So it’s no surprise that I was pretty eager to see the long-delayed movie adaptation of Audrey Niffeneggar’s smash hit faux-lit novel The Time Traveler’s Wife. And, despite the sickly trailer, it doesn’t disappoint. Bruce Joel Rubin has done a great job distilling the novel’s …
The time traveller’s strife…
Journeyman, the NBC drama series starring Kevin McKidd, has already featured here in my Top 25 Time Travel Stories, but it deserves a closer look, seeing as it was one of the stand out dramas of the Fall schedule and is still running on Sky over here in the UK. What at first looked like a gimmicky Quantum Leap rip off turned out to be a moving drama about how a disorder like involuntary time travel can affect a marriage. …
The Greatest Time Travel Stories
We all have those genres in which we’ll watch anything just because it’s that genre, and my particular generic addiction is time travel stories, of which there are some great movies and novels and some utterly cheesy ones. I don’t care. I consume them all like a crackhead, even when they fail miserably. My obsession with this genre has led me to start writing my own time travel novel series, Touchstone, and my novella, The Very Thought of You, is …
