SHORT PITCH: An assassin and prince romantasy

​

TAGLINE: One last hit to gain freedom

​

BOOK BLURB:

Seventeen-year-old assassin Cottia is desperate to leave behind the work she’s been forced into.

Her lord offers freedom in exchange for one last hit. The assignment is to start a war by killing a target during the Giddelian prince’s betrothal selection ceremony.

When the prince uncovers her identity, he offers her a new opportunity. Will his invitation grant her freedom from the notorious underlord?

​

This week Kirstie asks:

If you travel to your future, and talk to yourself there, do you remember the conversation when you go back, or do you forget it?

​

Great question! The answer depends on how time travel works in the way you’re imagining, and whether you are talking about your past self or your future self forgetting the conversation. Here are a few simple ways to think about it based on your past self time travelling.

​

Could Deja Vu Be an Indication of Time Travel?

Have you ever experienced that strange feeling of Deja Vu, where something feels oddly familiar, as if you’ve already lived through it? You might be walking down the street, having a conversation, or just doing something ordinary when suddenly, you get a sense of “I’ve been here before?”

True Time Travel Stories: Amazing Real Life Stories In The News (Time Travel Books Book 1)

Blurb:
What the Scientists Say About Time Travel
It’s fair to say that most scientists today will tell you that time travel is impossible. Three of today’s top physicists – Charles Liu, Brian Green and Michio Kaku – all hold that time travel is, if not impossible, unlikely in the extreme. However, one of the most brilliant minds of our time, physicist Stephen Hawking, disagrees – although only partially. He believes that time travel is theoretically possible, but only into the future.

Writing Progress Tracker

You may have noticed that this book as been taking forever to edit, and I actually wonder myself too. It almost feels like I have done about 4 or 5 edits, and I am honestly just waiting for the day when I publish this thing.

In a moment of sheer genius, I decided to create a Writing Progress Tracker for the study. It looks a bit like the one that’s on the website, but it’s in front of me in the study, and gives me an easy-to-see progress report of the current book I am writing.

The Time Travelling Estate Agent.

​

Blurb:
​Time takes everything – but what if it could also give back?​
It’s December 2019 in a small Welsh town, and 60-year-old estate agent Eric Meek discovers a property which boasts a truly unique garage conversion. Instead of the more customary home office or gym, it contains a hole in space-time that has been developed into a traversable portal.

​
​

In a moment that may as well have come out of a dystopian novel, Amazon is making changes… and not everyone is going to like them.

In 2022, the internet was rife with memes which claimed that “You will own nothing and be happy”. The question is… will we be happy?

​

Fast forward to the 26th Feb 2025, and Amazon is taking this literally.

Amazon is making a massive change, and this has got YouTubers, authors, readers, and Kindle-lovers alike, posting on their blogs, and social media channels about what is going to happen next week!
