The blog tour finished yesterday so here is a round up of links for the tour

Day 5 gave us an interview at SciFi Bulletin looking at the initial idea and backstory for the novel, while over at The SciFi Chick there was an essay about Natural Horror.

Day 6 had an excerpt from the novel at mall3tg1rl while at Novel Lives there is an article about bringing Eden to life.

Day 7 stopped off at Kendall Reviews, where Tim was asked to pick 8 books to read during a shift at a cemetery (really), along with 1 album (surely it should be 8 albums and 1 book, but I don’t set the rules). Meanwhile at The Writerly Way there is a lengthy review of the novel.

Day 8 had a review over at Looking Glass Reads

Day 9 gave us another review at Angel Wings and Petticoats and an interview with The Fumious Consortium.

Finally Day 10 brought with it a review at Libri Draconis, along with a look at the writing process and a review at Beauty in Ruins.

Due to the ongoing Covid 19 situation around the world the release schedule for Eden has changed a bit. In the UK the ebook is available now (and is still cheaper via KOBO) with an official release date of April 7th, while the paperback release has been pushed back to May 25th. In the US the release date is still April 7th for both paperback and ebook, however this is for online retailers only. For ordering details please visit the book page here, where a selection of reviews have also been added.

Unfortunately the signing tour has been cancelled. If you did buy tickets then you should have already been refunded by Waterstones, but if not please contact them. Stokercon has also been cancelled.

However for some good news in these troubling times, Tim will be taking part in a blog tour for the next two weeks. Details below, and I’ll post links to each one here.

Just in case you’re at a loose end. Be warned: yes, I destroy the world in some of them. But in a fun way.

To access the list of free ebooks, either click the “Dreaming In Fire” section at the top of this page, or click the image below. Then click the cover to take you to the kindle store.
