April

Last time, I made the bold claim that ‘The show must go on’. It only occurred to me after the fact that all the shows have been cancelled. Our world at the moment is one of social distancing, taking advice from baked potatoes, and a Prime Minister in intensive care. What’s the point of fiction in a world stranger than fiction?

I don’t have an easy answer to this. Except that stories can take us out of the world we live in. It’s a form of escapism we can enjoy while staying put (and safe) behind four familiar walls.

My new novel the Light is now up on the Planet Jimbot shop on Etsy. It’s available as both paperback which I can sign and personalise and digital (ebook, PDF & Kindle) which alas I can’t. I can send you an e-mail though. Yes, another one! 😊

Here are the links:
the Light (paperback novel)

the Light (ebook/Kindle)

I do have a freebie for you. Gabriel#1 featuring the first part of an archly askew urban drama touted as “a true story taking place in an alternative Scotland”. Where demons and angels are real and regularly meddle in mortal lives and matters. Superb art by David Hill (Luther: Echoes of the Hammer). Just DM me. Happy to chat and I’ll send you on the PDF.

In the meantime, be well, be safe and see you on the other side of the outbreak.


the Light explores a world where you wake up and know this is the day you die. On sale here: https://www.etsy.com/uk/listing/779147800/ and herehttps://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/191645352X

GoodCopBadCop is a modern take on Jekyll and Hyde where ‘good cop’ and ‘bad cop’ are the same person. On sale here: https://www.etsy.com/uk/listing/731747383/ and here: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Light-Jim-Alexander/dp/191645352X
