Gamebook News

I see the boys at Megara Entertainment in Seattle are predicting a gamebook resurgence. To celebrate, they’re planning a collector’s edition of The Way of the Tiger, a welcome revival of Mark Smith and Jamie Thomson’s hugely popular 1980s gamebook series. Interestingly, the project is being funded through Kickstarter (http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1615043334/the-way-of-the-tiger-gamebooks-new-collectors-edit ) with a heap of pledges already in place, which suggests Megara are right about the growing number of game book fans out there, You can get the whole story in their Press release at  http://richardhetley.files.wordpress.com/2013/09/tiger-gamebook-press-release.pdf

Meanwhile the launch of my own electronic game book projects (Demonspawn and GrailQuest) with Tin Man in Australia have been delayed until next year to allow their technical team time to develop a new and more sophisticated games engine. It’ll be worth the wait.

Whisperers Ebook on Way

For some reason, people have been asking me if an ebook version of Whisperers: The Secret History of the Spirit World was on the cards and in my usual vague way, I didn’t really have a clue. But I do now, thanks to the sterling investigative work of my literary agent, Ms. Sophie Hicks of Ed Victor Ltd. In the U.S. there’s an ebook in production at the moment, scheduled for issue next month (September) with an  ebook of the U.K. version to be published in November to coincide with the British hardback.

Meanwhile, sales of and comments on the U.S. hardback, published in June, continue to be lively.

Kirkus on Whisperers

Kirkus Reviews, the premier book evaluation site, has concluded that my ‘deftly corralled, intriguing research (for Whisperers: The Secret History of the Spirit World) translates into unsettling, if academically written, “proof” of the existence of spiritual suggestion.’ 

The review concludes, ‘Certain hokum for skeptics, but the more open-minded will savor this chillingly convincing testimonial.’
