It's only one month now until the release of the audiobook version of my book Pull to Open, which tells the story of the creation of Doctor Who in 1963. And here's a little bit of pre-publicity for it, in the form of BBC Audiobooks' Doctor Who catalogue for this autumn. Published on the Penguin website, as Penguin Random House are the company who release BBC Audiobooks titles.
It's nice to be in there alongside all those other forthcoming audiobooks, and as an official piece of BBC Doctor Who merchandise, too. It's also nice to be able to bring a version of Pull to Open to those who, for whatever reason, are unable to buy or to read the full-length printed book version from Ten Acre. Which is, of course, still available for anyone who is interested.
In other news, it looks as if there might be a very exciting possibility of something else Doctor Who-related happening, writing-wise, in the future, although it's still early days so I can't say anything more about that just yet. I have also finished a draft of a possible new non-fiction book, too. It's something on which I have been working for much of the year, not directly Doctor Who-related this time, although it still needs further work for which I am awaiting another couple of archive research trips next month before I hopefully have a more complete draft ready by the end of the year.
Oh yes, and I have started writing a new piece of fiction. Something inspired by a comment I read in some research I was doing last month, which suddenly resolved itself into a plot in my head and which actually seems to be going rather well so far. Whether it will end well is another matter, but I am at least not totally despairing of its quality even as I write it, which is perhaps half the battle. I might even actually be enjoying writing it, which for fiction is often a rare pleasure, I find...
