Tim Lebbon - horror and dark fantasy author » A Whisper of Southern Lights http://www.timlebbon.net Thu, 29 Jul 2010 09:13:06 +0000 en hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0 Two Years On http://www.timlebbon.net/random-stuff/two-years-on/ http://www.timlebbon.net/random-stuff/two-years-on/#comments Mon, 01 Dec 2008 12:30:52 +0000 Tim Lebbon http://www.timlebbon.net/?p=900 Two years ago today was my first day working as a full-time writer.  Leaving work to write for a living was a big decision, but definitely one of the best I’ve ever made, and through the downs as well as the ups I haven’t regretted it for a moment.  It seems a lot longer than two years ago that I last left Monmouthshire County Council’s dodgy old building (it’s effectively falling down), and looking at the amount I’ve written since then, perhaps there has been a time-warp thingy going on somewhere.  Here’s a rough list:

As well as those novels and novellas I’ve done several short stories, two screenplays (The Everlasting and The Dregs), and plenty of other stuff.  It does make me wonder how the hell I wrote so much when I was working, but the fact that I’m still working just as hard after two years is great.  I’ve still got plenty of work on … and a big THANKS is due to you discerning readers who continue to buy my books!

And on it goes …!  I wrote a novelette this weekend for a US market (sending it to the editor for consideration today), brainstormed a new screenplay with a good friend of mine, and this week it’s back to the Yukon to finish off book one of the Jack London series.

Many more announcements coming soon, including a new short story option.  So please do keep popping by, and in another year I hope the above list will be much, much longer.

In the Hell of World War Two, in the grisly chaos and ruin of Singapore, Gabriel at last sees a chance to discover more about the origins of Temple, and the demon’s sinister purpose… and perhaps a way to finally put an end to Temple’s existence and the carnage that follows him like a shadow.

But Fate is a playful watcher, and war has always been Temple’s playground.

As Gabriel and Temple face each other once again, this time in the sweltering Asian jungles that drip pain and blood, a weary soldier finds himself the pawn in their endless game of death. What he knows and does may change the teetering balance of their timeless conflict…and the fate of the whole world.

Reviews:

“… it’s done what all great stories should: transported you for that small amount of time out of your everyday world and into a place where anything can happen. Lebbon’s work is, more often than not, that escape readers long for. And A Whisper of Southern Lights is just more proof that he’s an author worth paying attention to.” – SF Reader.
