Sam Bowring:
Do you have any books in the works? I am a big fan of The Broken Well and Strange Threads books.

Hi Kristy
Thanks very much, I’m glad you enjoyed them. I’ve been working for a while on the first book in new series, a sci fi comedy adventure called (tentatively) ‘Scharlotte Doesn’t Matter and Goes Time Travelling’. I like the title but maybe it’s too long, what do you think? It’s been a long writing process because I have the stated (mainly to myself) aim to make it a time travel story without any plot holes. Argh. Even with certain made-up rules and tech to get around common paradoxical questions (‘What happens if you go back in time and shoot your father before he meets your mother?’) this has proven a challenge, and resulted in many hours lying on a couch staring at the ceiling with my brain melting out my ears like vanilla custard. However, I’m glad to tell you that the first draft is now complete and I’m in editing mode, so it shouldn’t be too much longer. It’s probably going to be an indie release, which is something I’ve dabbled in previously with shorter and sillier works, but this will be the first time I’ve attempted it with a full length novel (and series). If you want to be notified the very moment it’s available, please feel free to join the tens of people on my mailing list:

Otherwise stay tuned, I’m sure I’ll bang on about it across every available platform once it is finally out there :)
Thanks again,
Sam
