"True Friends" - what does friendship mean?

[RobertLCollins]

Hi,

I have a new short novel out called "True Friends." I hope it interests you. Here's what it's about:


It’s the fall of 1983. David Chalmers is a high school senior who hangs around with a group of fellow science-fiction fans, but feels few attachments to them. Alison Hughes runs with the popular crowd, but she’s as smart as she is pretty, and wonders if they’re becoming predictable.

Over the course of a few weeks events will cause David and Alison to think about what it means to be friends. Are friends just people you spend time with? What does it mean when you’re someone’s friend? Why should any of that be important?


Here's where you can find it:

Ah ha, a clue - he's a science fiction fan - soo..... aliens must be involved.

[RobertLCollins]

Nope, no aliens, except the ones on a certain British TV series...

This thread isn't dead, it was just resting...

Actually, there is news! A good review! Here's where you can find it: http://thephantomparagrapher.blogspo...t-collins.html

You can also find it at the "True Friends" page on Goodreads: http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...4-true-friends

In addition, I've started the process to get a print edition of TF out. I'm expecting my proof copy. Once it's for sale I'll post. I expect to have copies for sale at the SF conventions I'll be doing this year. If you live in or near the middle of the country, come to one and say "Hi." I plan to have a table in the dealer's rooms at each. My schedule is up at my blog (and will be updated through the year as events are added): http://robertlcollins.blogspot.com/

Thanks!

Sorry it's been a while since I updated this.

There's a nice review of "True Friends" at Goodreads: http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...4-true-friends. If you've bought a copy, I hope you liked it. Whatever you thought of it, please consider posting a review at your favorite review site.

If you haven't bought a copy, I hope you'll take a look.

Thanks for taking a look!

Not much news about the book, but there is new Doctor Who. I liked "Asylum of the Daleks." I'm hoping to keep up with the new episodes, though I will miss next weekend's story because I'll be at the Kansas Book Festival.

Anyway, consider "True Friends" as your next read. Thanks!
