The second book in my series, Chronosphere, is due to publish on 1 September, which is just 13 days away (if my maths is right!). Chronosphere is a science fiction series aimed at young adults. The first book, called Time out of Time, sets the scene for the story. It's set in the future, in the year 2189, in a world where time has become a commodity that can be bought and sold just like soap or baked beans. The young hero of my story, Raffi, buys a year, in order to put off the inevitable moment when he must do his vocational training. He enters the Chronosphere, a seemingly utopian world where he can enjoy the entire 12 months without losing more than a minute of his actual life. It seems like paradise at first, but certain little things start to bother him about the place. I won't give any more away, but hope you think it's worth a read. The second book is called Malfunction, and it continues the adventure. A third and probably final book, Ex Tempora, will be released next year. To mark the publication of the second volume, the publishers have created a website dedicated to the series, which is well worth a visit. You can find it at
