I hope you’re enjoying ALL ROADS END HERE. It seems February’s often a busy month for me in terms of book releases. I noticed just now that it’s five years ago today since the publication of the re-written version of my debut novel STRAIGHT TO YOU. The release was always planned for Valentine’s Day, as the book is very much an apocalyptic romance (a combination of genres which works surprisingly well). I thought it was worth mentioning the book’s birthday for a couple of reasons – first, because an audio version and a re-launch of the German language edition are imminent. Second, because I started writing the 2014 version on 1 January that year – twenty years to the day since I began work on the original. That means, terrifyingly, that I have now been writing for twenty-five years, and no matter how long I look at the dates and do the maths, that just doesn’t seem possible.
I hope everyone has a far less eventful Valentine’s Day than Steven and Samantha Johnson…
“Straight To You deserves to be ranked alongside such classics as The Stand and Swan Song.” –Ginger Nuts of Horror
“A truly breath-taking and awe-inspiring read from an undeniable master of this sub-genre.” –DLS Reviews
The sun is dying. The temperature around the world is rising by the hour with no sign of any respite. At this rate the planet will soon become uninhabitable; all life extinguished. It might be weeks away, it might be days… we may only have hours remaining. Society is crumbling. The burning world is descending into chaos.
Steven Johnson’s wife is hundreds of miles away and all that matters is reaching her before the end. He has to act now, no time to stop and think. Every second is precious. Tomorrow is too late.
