Hi All
As a Harringay resident and long-standing (though infrequent posting) HoL member, I hope you can forgive me this shameless bit of self-promotion.
Anyway, I have a little enovella available in various ebook / electronic formats now available from Smashwords.com, and wondered if any of you, as kind neighbours, obviously wanting to support local talent (or lack thereof), might like to have a read.
The Time Traveller, Smith, an enovella by JC McLaughlin
What's more, you can even have it for FREE (if you grab it before the end of April at least) by using the promo code PQ89Y.
'The Time Traveller, Smith' is a little Edwardian speculative fiction pastiche, with a dram of social satire mixed in for good measure. Harringay only gets a passing mention, I'm afraid ('
...the Number 21 Omnibus en route to the pleasure gardens of Harringay...'), but, hey, you can't have it all...
Far from Edwardian London - in a land destroyed by war - 100 years in his future!
1908, but not for long. An explosion in the cellar of his master's shop sends Max Smith, a Clerkenwell clockmaker's assistant, hurtling forward in time to the year 2008.
Held captive by the despicable Beau Riche, King of London, Max is caught up in the world-conquering machinations of Ben Landon, Envoy of the Protestant-Moslem Republic of Texas. Armed with the mysterious Eye of Time he must decide whether to save the world... or destroy it!
Because everyone needs a little Edwardian now and again. I thank you for your time...
