As regular visitors here can attest, I’ve been generally quiet over the past few months, and specifically quiet where the new book is concerned.
I’m superstitious, I guess; until it was done, and I mean done, it just made me too nervous to talk about it. The blurb and the cover art were finished months before the book itself was complete, but I couldn’t even bring myself to look at the book’s catalog page on Amazon. While I realize that this is how things roll out it’s still kind of freaky to see the art and the language for a work that, until the last paragraph is actually on the page, doesn’t yet exist.
Seven Seconds does exist now, and I like it a lot.
Over the next week or so I’ll need to rearrange the site a little to give the book some space here, and if I can, I’ll put up some chapters that can give you a feel for the story before publication.
More soon….

Hey Jack, Great to hear the new book now ‘exists’ as you put it!
Do you expect a hardback edition to be available in the UK anytime soon?
BTW, I have just finished listening to Maximum Impact on Audio Book which is the 3rd time I’ve ‘read’ the book now – I still love it!
Congratulations, and let us know in reader-land as soon as we can get our hands on ‘Seven Seconds’.
Cheers, Stephen Halliday.
P.S. I’ve linked your site on my website – I hope that is OK?
Jack,
The audiobook version is the abridged one, read by Kerry Shale, I bought it from iTunes a while back. Amazon(UK) have your new book listed so I placed my pre-order for a Hardback version yesterday – although I have to be honest, they have it at a pretty reduced price for some reason??
They did confirm the order and as you say were expecting shipment around the 6th May – just in time for my birthday:)
BTW, you’ve inspired me to try writing my own book – it is very early days, I have been noting down some ideas so I guess that is as good a place as any to start.
Cheers, Stephen.
