A novel about Nothing (and everything). A surreal fantasy in which sacred cows are sent flying in all directions - politicians, scientists, wind farms, supermarkets, even overweight opera singers (though they need a lot of heavy lifting).

There’s a strange blockage in the Time Continuum and Grandfather Time’s glass is stuck. It means the End of Time itself, and that can’t be good. The gods (a coalition government these days) don’t know what to do, and so they ask Astralia (the Dream World) for help. The Astralians aren’t much use either. They can send agents over here (it’s all our fault of course), but once they get here they can’t remember what they’re here for.

In the ‘real’ world scientist Tom meets Lucy, the girl of his dreams. They fall in love, but who are they, really? Are dreams the quantum reality that scientists say they can’t imagine? As Reality disintegrates, is there still Time to save the world? Is the answer always ‘Yes – and No’?

In Reality, Nothing is what it seems.

I can add you, but I won't be able to send you any books out until you've reviewed one that you already have. I think you have Revive and Camelot?

Added ☺ I won't be able to send you a copy out until you've read Ashes though because you've had it for 12 weeks.


Maria (mariasaleem) | 882 comments Ok,but I'll need a few more days then :/ I'll try to review it as soon as possible :)


Sarah Elizabeth (bookworm_sarah) | 90920 comments Mod
That's okay, just let me know when you're finished and I can send this one out to you ☺


Maria (mariasaleem) | 882 comments I'm so,so sorry for missing it. You see,I hadn't sent you a pm with my email and choice of format so I didn't really know you'd signed me up and that I'd received the copy...well,until the day before yesterday when I was cleaning up my old mails and I saw From the Ashes pdf... :-( I'm so very sorry.


Sarah Elizabeth (bookworm_sarah) | 90920 comments Mod
That's okay, these things happen ☺


Sarah Elizabeth (bookworm_sarah) | 90920 comments Mod
Email addresses of those people not on hold have now been sent to the author ☺

Siobhan Quinlan | 2096 comments how do i come off on hold?


Sarah Elizabeth (bookworm_sarah) | 90920 comments Mod
You're on-hold because you have February 29th by Frank McCaughey and you'll be getting Gideon Lee (Starlight Chronicles #1) by Lisa Orchard Lark Singer (Starlight Chronicles #2) by Lisa Orchard Starlight (Starlight Chronicles, #3) by Lisa Orchard very soon. I can take you off-hold when you've read february 29th, or the starlight books when you get them. I can send the author your email address at a later date ☺

Siobhan Quinlan | 2096 comments thanks i didnt know how to come off hold lol :)i thought we were meant to wait till july for february 29th ive been staring at it saying i cant wait to read you lol


Sarah Elizabeth (bookworm_sarah) | 90920 comments Mod
I know, that's the problem when we have more than one BR&R in a week, or when we have to sign-up for one early like with Feb 29th because of it being mailed. It makes it difficult to stay below 2 at a time.


message 25: by Siobhan (new)

Siobhan Quinlan | 2096 comments thanks for explaining :)


Sarah Elizabeth (bookworm_sarah) | 90920 comments Mod
That's okay ☺


Sarah Elizabeth (bookworm_sarah) | 90920 comments Mod
Copies of this have now gone out, if you haven't received yours, please check your spam folder ☺

Maria (mariasaleem) | 882 comments Sarah,could you send me an ePub file of this? My Adobe Reader isn't working well. I tried to re-download the PDF file you sent me but no luck.
And I'm not quite sure if my ePub reader works... Anyways,I hope it does.


Sarah Elizabeth (bookworm_sarah) | 90920 comments Mod
Done ☺
