Hello from Cambridge, UK

catherinecondie · 02-09-2010, 11:30 AM

Hi there

Just joined. I have finished my first book, honed it on Authonomy.com and published on Smashwords.com as a free multi-format e-novel and at the UK POD company Lulu.com. So I'm going for it!

Editor/communications advisor in the science field, like writing songs and playing guitar and being in a rock band.

http://www.smashwords.com/books/view/7707

The book is written in the style of a classic adventure, for anyone over the age of 9 (I think that includes many of us!!)

Three children whirl back in time through an enchanted potter’s wheel into the reality of evacuation in 1940s Britain.

Whirl of the Wheel pulls feisty Connie, her brother Charlie-Mouse, and school pest Malcolm into dangers on the homefront and towards a military secret that will save their home from demolition. The children hit trouble when Malcolm fails to return to the present day.

Happy reading!
Best wishes
Catherine

Hello Catherine and welcome to MobileRead. I'm sure you will get a lot out of this forum.

Welcome to MR, Catherine!

I know I said, "Hi", already, but this is the official welcome.

It's very generous of you to put your book up for free on feedbooks and smashwords. We are a worldwide forum of many devices and really appreciate authors who take that into consideration. (We especially like no DRM and NO geographic restrictions.. free, too

).

Thank you and have fun exploring the forums. Just ask if you want to know anything.

Thank you for the welcome. Strangely, this is the side of Cambridge I know the least. I live on the east side now, not too far from Saffron Walden. I grew up in Cambridge itself, not far from Addenbrookes Hospital.

I must check out Biggleswade!
