My Tomorrow, Your Yesterday was one of the best books I have read in last 12 months and I read a lot!!. It also , apart from Jack Finney , is the best time travel book I have read .Are you planning on anything similar ? (I have read your Time Bubble series )

Delighted to hear you are enjoying the books! I've got one other published that you might enjoy if you haven't already read it. It's called Midlife Crisis and is the story of a middle-aged man down on his luck who gets the chance to live six days of his life over again. It's set in the same universe as The Time Bubble series (the man in question is Richard Kent, the hapless policeman).

It is the first in a two book series - I am currently writing the second which follows a female character, Kay, who is introduced in Midlife Crisis. I hope to have it finished by Christmas for an early 2017 release.

Thanks for getting in touch and your kind words - it is hugely appreciated!

Hello from Wisconsin in America! I, too, have a son with autism, and I'm wondering if - and if so, how - this experience has influenced your writing? I started with My Tomorrow, Your Yesterday, then just now finished The Time Bubble. I plan to read the entire series. Your books are fun - I read them while exercising on an elliptical trainer, and the pace keeps me going!

Caring for my son has undoubtedly been influential in my writing. In the early years before he was at school I left full time employment to start up my own entertainment business - effectively this meant I was running discos and karaoke nights on Friday, Saturday and Sunday. It was around this time I started blogging my experiences as a parent which eventually evolved into my early non-fiction parenting books and my stay-at-home Dad newspaper column.

I found I loved writing so when the kids were in school full time I took the plunge and started writing the novels, mostly during school time. It's quite a challenge finding time to write as caring for the kids is a full-time job in itself but it's very rewarding and I wouldn't change a thing. I've been able to be there for my kids and fulfill a lifetime ambition which has been to write the stories that have been floating around in my head since I was a teenager.

Thanks so much for taking the time to write and I'm really pleased you are enjoying the books!

A trip back in time to 1980

2024 marks the beginning of a newera in The Time Bubble world. A new era that began back in 1980. Apologies ifthat doesn't make sense, but that's time travel for you.

The most recent Time Bubblebook (Gone to the Rapture) was released in October and was very well received(4.6-star average on Amazon from 139 reviews). I was most pleased with how itturned out and consider it to be one of the best in t

Jason Ayres and 1 other person liked C I KESZEI's review of 1980: A Year in the Life of Keith Diamond: A 1980s Time Travel Adventure: "A really promising start to a new series Another great work from Mr Ayres, as expected. A fairly unpleasant character gets a second chance and takes us back to an era that a lot of people will recognise. And reminisce with either distain or a sly grin." Read more of this review »
