Going Back -- British Fantasy Award-nominated collection

[Tony Richards]

Going Back
'Going Back' -- my collection of edgy, modern supernatural and science fiction tales -- was first published in the UK by Elastic Press in 2007. It turned out to be Elastic's top-selling title, and made the shortlist for the British Fantasy Award. The American edition, this one, was published three years later, with four extra stories added. Here's the back-cover blurb:

"!n these eighteen stories from acclaimed dark fantasy writer Tony Richards, a man becomes trapped with a never-ending day, another tries to prevent a child's death by returning to the past. Two others explore enforced loneliness and blind computer dating, each with terrifying results. Nine rocks predict the end of the world, and a beautiful stranger continues to exist even though her time is an end. Meanwhile, non-existent cats play havoc with a bewildered couple's life, as mortality nudges at our shoulders, drawing ever closer. If only time was more flexible. Which way would you turn the clock, forward or back?"

“For the sheer pleasure of reading a story by a master of the art, this is hard to beat” - Peter Tennant, Black Static magazine.
“Richards is a master” - RT Book Reviews.
“A terrific author. A unique and eloquent voice” - John Pelan.
“A hell of a writer, one of today’s masters of dark fiction” - Mario Guslandi, Horror World.
“Man, this guy can write. He has the power to introduce you all over again to the pleasures of reading good prose” - Ed Gorman.
“An amazing voice” - James A. Moore.
“Tony Richards always turns in a first-class story” - Ronald Chetwynd-Hayes.

The Kindle is available from Dark Regions Press -- fully formatted and with a linked Table of Contents -- for only $2.99.

I have 2 novels from HarperCollins on Kindle and 2 collections from Dark Regions Press. I also have more than a dozen self-published ebooks -- fantasy, SF, vampires, mystery, supernatural, horror, a thriller with a serial killer at large in Arizona, and even Sherlock Holmes stories -- which are almost all at the sample price of 99c:      http://amzn.to/m4ihme

Tony-

Welcome to KindleBoards and congratulations on your book!  

KindleBoards is a Kindle fan and reader forum.  As you browse KindleBoards, keep in mind that self-promotion, of any sort, is ONLY allowed in the Book Bazaar. (You've posted your book thread in the right place; this is just our standard reminder. )

A brief recap of our rules follows:

--Please bookmark this thread (using your browser's bookmark/favorite function) so you can update it as we ask that authors have only one thread per book and add to it when there is more information.  You may start a separate thread for each book (or you may have one thread per series of books, or one thread for all of your books, it's your choice).

--We invite you to use your book cover as your avatar and have links to your book and website in your signature. Instructions are posted here

--While you may respond to member posts to your thread at any time, you may only bump your thread (back-to-back posts by you) once every seven days.  Once you've responded to a member, that resets the clock to zero and you must wait seven days to post, unless another member posts before then. You may modify the latest post to reflect new information.

--We ask that Amazon reviews not be repeated here as they are easy to find at your book link.  Also, full reviews from other sites should not be posted here, but you may post a short blurb and a link to the full review instead.

--Although self-promotion is limited to the Book Bazaar, our most successful authors have found the best way to promote their books is to be as active throughout KindleBoards as time allows.  This is your target audience--book lovers with Kindles!  Please note that putting link information in the body of your posts constitutes self promotion; please leave your links for your profile signature that will automatically appear on each post.  For information on more ways to promote here on KindleBoards, be sure to check out this thread:
Authors: KindleBoards Tips & FAQ.

All this, and more, is included in our Forum Decorum: http://www.kindleboards.com/index.php/topic,36.0.html.  Be sure to check it from time to time for the current guidelines and rules.

Oh, and one more thing:  be sure to check out the index threads at the top of the Book Bazaar. . . .there are details there about how you can be listed so that our readers can find you.

Thanks for being part of KindleBoards!  Feel free to send us a PM if you have any questions.
