Tim Lebbon – horror and dark fantasy author

I’m halfway through the new fantasy novel, and it’s a lot of fun.  Hard work, this one, because there are lots of threads to pull together, and a particular effect I’m trying to achieve.  And … it’s still without an official title, although The Engines of Aeon is a strong contender.  What do you think?

And here’s a lovely comment about my previous novel, Echo City.

Hi folks …. a couple of links.

First, here’s a really nice review of ECHO CITY, available now in the USA and July here in the UK.

And there’s an interview with me up now at The Damned Interviews.

New interview with me now up and live at The Horror Zine … check it out!

The Secret Journeys of Jack London: The Wild (first book the new trilogy by me and Christopher Golden), will be hitting the shelves at the beginning of March in the USA, and there’ll be some exciting promotional stuff going on between now and then.  Watch this space for news!

Stephen Volk and I have finished our first collaborative screenplay, PLAYTIME, and we’re just thrilled with how it’s turned out.

Other than that, I’m still working hard on my new fantasy novel for Orbit.  As yet, I can’t give you a title … but soon.  Soon.

My short novel UNTIL SHE SLEEPS is available now as an eBook book from Generation Next Publications!  Here are the ordering links (with more to come):

Smashwords

Barnes & Noble

Generation Next

You can read more about UNTIL SHE SLEEPS at my website.  Until now this novel has only been available as a limited edition hardcover, and I’m thrilled to see it available once again.  Please enjoy it, and please let me know what you think.

UNTIL SHE SLEEPS will be available very soon as an ebook from Generation Next Publications.  Check back here for details and links.

I’m thrilled to see this short novel published again, and it’s the first of several older books and novellas that will be released as ebooks over the coming months.

Some great blurbs have come in for THE WILD (book one of The Secret Journeys of Jack London), the series I’m writing with Christopher Golden for Harper in the USA (and which has also sold so far in Germany and France).

“A great old-school adventure novel and the best use of the Wendigo legend I’ve ever read.” – Mike Mignola, creator of Hellboy

“A masterful mix of gold, cold, supernatural creatures, and dread magic makes this a great action adventure story.” – Garth Nix, author of the Abhorsen Trilogy

Nice!

The limited edition, signed audio book of BERSERK is out now from Audio Realms.  It’s a wonderful 8 disc set, and you can get it for the special price of $24.95.

That’s an excellent price for an excellent product – if you’ve tried Audio Realms before you’ll know their quality, and if you haven’t, now’s the time to start.

“They kept monsters.” That’s what Tom overhears in the bar that night. And he hears more things that can finally lead him to the truth about his son’s death ten years before. The army had said it was a training accident. But why had the coffin they sent home been sealed?

So on a dark night, in a deserted field, Tom begins to unearth the mass grave where he hopes—and fears—that he will find his son’s remains. He finds instead madness: corpses in chains and dead bodies that still move and grasp and clutch. And one little girl, dead and rotting, who promises to help Tom find what he’s looking for, if only he will free her…

COLDBROOK, my big science fiction zombie novel due from Corsair/Constable in the UK, has had its publication put back until January 2012.  Don’t worry, though, as next July sees the publication of ECHO CITY from Orbit UK.

Chris Golden and I have delivered our script for THE SECRET JOURNEYS OF JACK LONDON: THE WILD to Fox 2000.

The JACK LONDON series has sold in Germany and France, with more foreign rights interest all the time.

I’m currently working on a new novel for Orbit in the UK, as well as a couple of screenplays (one a collaboration), a collaborative YA novel, a couple of TV series proposals, some comics ideas, and another novel idea or two.  Oh, and there are some short stories screaming to be written, and a novella or two.  Never a dull moment, and that’s just how I like it.

The end of this month marks four years since I left my previous job at Monmouthshire County Council to write full time.  It remains the best decision I ever made, and I’ll write a longer post about what those four years brought, and what the next year or two might bring.  Exciting things are afoot.
