Just a reminder that 'The Time Hunters' remains free for the next 2 days.

Many thanks,

[Kath]

That picture of you on here; I'm sure you're wearing a pink t-shirt with a white logo but it looks like the top of a strapless wedding gown.
Please tell me you're not wearing a strapless wedding gown? All my illusions shattered at one blow!

[Kath]

Tweeted - cos I'm a twit!

[Carl]

Ha ha. Nope, it's just a T shirt. Real men wear pink. And I'll batter anyone that says otherwise with my lippy. ha :)

And thanks for the tweetie, sweetie. I hope you're doing well. I'm 33000 words into TH3 so there's plenty still to do, but I hope you might cast your uber-critical eye over it when its finished. Only if you have the time and inclination, of course.xxx

[Kath]

I have the inclination if you have the time - very old but mangled joke in there somewhere!

[Carl]

very old and mangled. That sounds like I feel.x

[Carl]

Last day of the free promotion for The Time Hunters

A big thank you to everyone who has downloaded it.

Just waiting for TH3 ,are we going to get before Christmas??

[Kath]

With our two front teeth?

[Carl]

Sadly not, Kay. I'm really trying but the day job has been taking its toll. I'm even trying to get them to make me redundant :)xx

I've been trying that too Carl and it looks like it has worked for me. Will know in 3-4 weeks.

must be too good at your day job Carl ,they don't want to lose you

[Carl]

Good for you, Ginge. I've got a meeting on Tues with my big boss about them letting me go part time. I'm happy to take the drop in pay etc so I can get two days free to write TH3. I need time :) My boss says he doubts they'll give me the full redundancy. I might just resign anyway.

Kay, I'm sure that's not it. But it's kind of you to say so :).xx

[Carl]

I'd just like to thank Marchin's mum for the 65th (Out of 73) FIVE star review of 'The Time Hunters' in the UK.

It's also got another five star one in America which makes 40 out of 41 four and five star reviews over there.


Hope everyone is having a great weekend.

Carl

Oh good one for the season! I'll tweet tomorrow - off out for dinner now. (HMMM.)

[Carl]

Bless you, my dear. What did we eat? Knowing you, I bet it was something classy but with a hint of spice :)

[Kath]

We went to some friends - Home made steak pies - apple sponge, custard, cheese - hmm. Not spicy but not half bad!

Love to you and yours

[Kath]

Oh, oh, The Fear of Spate - bet there's lots of that in these wet days. Must rush off and have a read.

Merry Christmas yourself young man!

[Kath]

Wow! Just read it - It's great - it definitely makes me want to read on.

[Carl]

Ha. Well, you'll be the first to read it in the whole world :) How are you, honey? You keeping well?xxx

[Kath]

[Kay (Golden Girl)]

[Carl]

Good to hear.

Alice is only three, so I may never see grandkids.She'll have to do :)

Lovely to see your blog going strong. I do like to pop over there from time to time. I enjoyed your interview for Joo.

Merry Christmas to all your family.xx

[Gingerlily - The Full Wild]

Merry Christmas Carl. I will wait until the whole book appears as I really don't like reading samples. Thats something to look forward to - YAY!!

[Carl]

Hi all,
The Time Hunters is on a 2 day free promotion.

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Time-Hunters-...

Thanks,
Carl

[Carl]

Oh, and cheers, Ginger.

I'm also pleased to say that an Italian publisher has emailed me to enquire about the rights for publishing TH1 in Italy. Obviously, this may not happen but it's lovely to have had such interest.

TH1 is still free today.

[Kath]

Congrats - do you have to translate it into Italian?

I'll drop you in it again - erm, I mean tweet it again today!

[Carl]

Ha. I wouldn't have to do it. I'm guessing it's like the contract with the Brazilian publisher. They're doing all of that. Actually, I've had some amusing emails for the guy in Brazil that's doing the translation. My fav was this one:

Hi Carl! How are you doing?

I 'd like to make you a question: What were the base words (if any) used to create "Dungwamblefigger", "Duncloxifier" and "Filmpostatic imuldification"?

__________________________

I just told him to make up some funny words that sounded scientific :)

Thanks for the retweet, honey.xx

[Carl]

A big thanks to Alexandra for today's five star review of The Time Hunters in the US.

And just to let everyone know, I've finished TH3 and am now working on the next draft. This is the fun bit :)

[Gingerlily - The Full Wild]

YAT!!! exciting!

[Carl]

Thanks, Ginge. I hope it's okay :)

[Gingerlily - The Full Wild]

I'm sure it will be up to your usual high standard.

[Kath]

Whoohoo!

[Carl]

Well, I've certainly tried, Ginge.xx

And thanks for whoop, Iggy :)xx

[Gingerlily - The Full Wild]

Iggy! *tries to stifle the giggles*

[Emma]

Yay! I am very excited for TH3 too Carl :-) cannot wait to read it!
