Just wanted to pop in and say hi. I've been chained to my computer for the last four months working on the next Tyler Locke book called THE TRIGGER, and I finally turned in the first draft to my editor yesterday. Phew!
I'm also excited that my thriller THE CATALYST is being released today. It was the third of the books I self-published (it was previously called THE ADAMAS BLUEPRINT), but it was actually the first book I ever wrote. I spent a few months earlier this year revising it so that I could bring the story and technology up to date (I first wrote it in 1996). Hope you enjoy it!
Cheers,
Boyd

I enjoyed THE ADAMAS BLUEPRINT very much and am sure that new readers will love the updated version.
And I am looking forward to the new Tyler Locke book.
Just sayin......

Thanks, Geoff. Hard to believe that was more than two years ago.
I hope you enjoy it, JP!

I wanted to let everyone know, if you've been waiting for the price of The Vault to come down, today's the day. The paperback is released today, and the Kindle price has dropped to $7.99 to match. Enjoy!

Still no sign in the UK of The Rogue Wave (The Tsunami Countdown here, I believe). The paperback isn't out till December 2012 (!!!) and there's no mention of the Kindle version at all.  Similarly The Rosewell Conspiracy (the new Tyler Locke book) is due out here in July, but no Kindle edition shown yet. Is this the same title as in the US? The Catalyst (UK title?) has been out here in paperback since last November - but again, no Kindle edition. Any news on all these, Boyd? |

Hi Linjeakel,
They pushed back the release of The Tsunami Countdown to get one more Tyler Locke book under our belts in the UK before it comes out. It's set for publication on December 6 of this year, and I'm sure there will be a Kindle version as well, even if it's not up for pre-order yet (they may be waiting until we have a cover design). I doubt you could publish a book these days without a Kindle version.
There will definitely be a Kindle version of The Roswell Conspiracy as well. It comes out May 31 in Australia and July 19 in the UK. No word yet on a title or release date in the US.
The Catalyst isn't actually supposed to be on sale in the UK. That's a gray-market listing for the US version (probably used or unauthorized import), which is why there isn't a Kindle edition. I don't have a title or release date yet for the UK version, but I'd guess sometime next year.
Hope that clears it up. The confusion comes because I have different publishers in the US and UK, and they each have exclusive rights to their own markets.

It is great to hear from you, Boyd! Are The Roswell Conspiracy and The Trigger the same or two different books? What do you mean we don't have a release date for the U.S.?? |

A book, I think, is very like a little golden door.
That takes me into places where I've never been before.
It leads me into fairyland or countries strange and far.
And, best of all, the golden door always stands ajar. - Adelaide Love

Hi Crebel, The Trigger used to be the US title for The Roswell Conspiracy, but that's no longer the case. The novel will definitely come out in the US, I just don't know when or under what title. I'll post again as soon as I know. |

So The Trigger and The Roswell Conspiracy are two titles for the same book which is yet to be released. . .and are none of the ones that were originally released independently, correct? Ohh. . .you're on Fantastic fiction now! http://www.fantasticfiction.co.uk/m/boyd-morrison/ |

Ohh. . .you're on Fantastic fiction now! http://www.fantasticfiction.co.uk/m/boyd-morrison/Correct, Ann. The Roswell Conspiracy is the UK, Australia, and New Zealand title for the third Tyler Locke adventure. The Trigger is an old title we were considering for the US version of the same book, but that's changing to something else; I just don't know what yet. |

Well I found that article most interesting.
.........
May I say that I have all of your published work, in the original epub versions (which I don't think needed any editing - but that is just me).
I will be "over-the-top" to be able to get the next Tyler Locke book so soon, in epub format. What a gift to your fans.
I know this may not be the result you wanted for this work, but as a fan, I am delighted to be able to get it.

Thanks, Geoff! I'm just happy that the book will be out at all in the US. If this had happened five years ago, that would probably not be the case. Well I found that article most interesting.

I understand that.
Be happy that you were able to keep the rights to a book that they did not want to publish.
One of my favorite "traditional" authors, C.J. Cherryh has had some of her work tied up in some strange agreements. Some of her work is out of print, but she cannot epub it because of the contract rights that she signed a long time ago. Sad.

Yay! The Roswell Conspiracy is coming out on May 31 in the UK - earlier than expected! I have it on pre-order - can't wait to get my teeth into a new Tyler Locke story.  |
