I’ve been doing lots of events for the Read Regional campaign over the last few months which I’ll be blogging about soon. But in the meantime there’s a Q & A with me on the Read Regional website here: http://www.readregional.com/2014/04/29/qa-with-niel-bushnell-author-of-sorrowline/
Timesmith Trailer
I’ve just finished putting together a little trailer for Timesmith – hope you like it!
Book signing event in Middlesbrough
To celebrate the publication of Timesmith last week the nice people at Waterstones Middlesbrough arranged for me to do a signing event in their store.

Timesmith Publication Day! World Book Day!

My 2013 – the best of times, the worst of times.
2013 was my first year as a proper published author, and what a strange, exciting, terrifying, anxious, fun year it’s been! I think Charles Dickens was onto something with his opening line from A Tale of Two Cities: It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, …
