A very early Christmas present
It’s not often authors give their books away…
Here, as promised last week, is a free gift for all of my treasured subscribers.
If you’re not already a subscriber, please sign up to Not In The Script first (it’s free) and do me the honour of reading future ramblings and musings on the life of a historical fiction author. There will of course be more free stories, special offers and fascinating articles to follow, so bear with me.
Here’s how to get your free e-book, Cell Wars – An Inside Story, which is TOTALLY FREE on Amazon all weekend between the following times:
Pacific (PDT) Saturday October 1st 2022 12am until 11.59pm on October 2nd
British Summer Time (BST) Saturday October 1st 2022 8.00 am until 8am on October 3rd
Here are the links:
With heartfelt apologies to Australia, NZ, India, China et al as I couldn’t work out the times for you but do have a stab somewhere in the middle of the weekend.
So Cell Wars is not historical fiction but then you’re not limited to one genre, are you?
This is allegorical fantasy and something of a flight of fancy for a whole series that could cover everything from mental health to pandemic resistance, and a whole lot of fun in the process. But only if you think it’s worth pursuing. If when you read it you think I need professional help, I’m sure you’ll tell me. After all, that’s why I hid behind a pseudonym in the first place!
It's a short book and once you warmed to the outrageous flirt that is Bill and his larger-than-life boss Imelda, you’ll find yourself immersed for a couple of joyful if scary hours inside an accountant named Brian and his wife Betty.
Although anyone under the age of 50 will believe this to be truly original and wonderfully imaginative, original it ain’t. Oldies among you may remember The Beano’s Numskulls or the science fiction films Fantastic Voyage and Inner Space. Cell Wars takes this concept a few hesitant steps forward into the 21st Century.
It’s a bit of Terry Pratchett meets Lewis Carroll – hence the remarkable cover image by Lynda Adlington who is a true believer in angels and the miracles the human body can work in its mission of self-healing.
So please share this far and wide and let your chums know about this free offer saving them a staggering two quid. There’s also a paperback for those among us who linger in old technology (still the better format in my opinion) but I can’t give this away because postage prices have sky-rocketed of late!

Meanwhile, before you plunge in to Cell Wars, here’s another image from the cover designer Lynda Adlington who is surely going to find an astonishing career as a book cover designer on the back of this:
A very early Christmas present
Lynda, that cover is surreally beautiful!
