Eye Witness: Zombie- NOW OUT!


Eye Witness Zombie is now available on Amazon
http://www.amazon.com/Eye-Witness-Zombie-T-Brown/dp/0984537228/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1285269978&sr=1-1
This looks like being a cracking book with tales all about people reporting on the zombie outbreak. My story is Eye in the Sky which follows a helicopter team that instead of doing traffic reports they tell their listeners about any zombie hot spots so scavengers can be at least a little bit safer. But then things start to go wrong.

The Last Train to Dover- Update #2


Got to the 40,000 mark tonight and still going strong I think or at the very least hope. Going a bit back and forth doing a few edits as I go along and I have introduced a couple of new characters towards the end. I'm also thinking a lot about a follow up to this book which got me thinking that I haven't done a short story for about five months! That was my first love so once this is completed that will be two novels in a row so I'll be giving them a break until next year. So short stories only for the next few months, I think the rest will do me good.

The Last Train to Dover- Update #1


Just hit the 30,000 mark this evening, very pleased with how things are turning out. So far we've had the outbreak hit the hospital, our 4 heroes racing through London keeping away from both the army and the undead, boarding the train and meeting a mysterious professor before getting onto the deserted boat. All of the chapters have been started to some extent with a couple completed apart from final edits. I'm hopeful of getting it finished by the middle of next month. I'll do another update in a week or so.

New project- The Last Train to Dover


I've just started another novel!
This is called The Last Train to Dover, its a zombie tale about the start of the outbreak. When it all kicks off in London one final train is set off to Dover to meet up with a ship to take them over the sea to France. This train is full of VIPs but the main characters of the story manage to smuggle themselves on board.
Its basically a real time story of the first day of the outbreak and the race to get away before its too late. Its the first time that I've tried to do a novel around one day, it'll sure be interesting to see how it goes :-)
The outline and character backgrounds are done and the first few words are down on paper.
I'll keep you updated on how things are going.

Pyramid of the Dead- 50,000 mark


After a good few days break from writing doing some D.I.Y I've at last managed to reach the 50,000 point in my second novel- Pyramid of the Dead. The story itself is now basically complete but there's still a fair bit of fleshing out to be done. The only problem is that its going to be a fairly short book, I suspect that it will barely reach the 60,000 mark by the time its finished. I'm a bit disappointed in that figure but feel its the natural size for the story.

Overall I'm happy with the story, it feels like the characters are good and interact with each other well. However I may be slightly biased in my views! I'm really looking forward to hearing what some other people think of it.

Still not decided on the final title yet but I'm sure that will come.

Poor little kitty




I work on the railway and got a call that someone could hear a cat on the train! We found it stuck tight under a seat, we had to dismantle the stuff around it to get it out. It wasn't chipped so one of our guys has adopted it and it's new name is diesel.
