I am also the author of a book of horror poetry, my first published work called, The Macabre Masterpiece: Poems of Horror and Gore a compilation of 5 chapters of different types of horror with 50 poems.

They are all set in the land of the three seas but I tried not to write them as a trilogy.

OK, hello everyone, my name is M T McGuire. What are my books like. Well they get compared to Douglas Adams, Terry Pratchett and Red Dwarf... there's also the odd comparison to Dr Who. The rest of the people who've read them say they have never read anything like them. To be honest, I tend to have to force people to read them at gunpoint but when they do they usually like them.
So I'm a newbie, and I'm a stay at home Mum so I don't have huge amounts of time to write. What I'm trying to tell you, tactfully, is that there are glaciers moving faster than progress on my books. And I was dumb enough to start with a trilogy. Two books out and the third approaching completion - rather slowly I admit but approaching... and I will finish it.
So, the two books out are.

Sorry that was a bit long and rambly, I promise my books are more succinct. ;-)

Well I bought them and liked them which I reckon is pretty much the same thing but I'm modest like that






The story follows Trix as the first person protagonist, she is a shape-shifter in 23rd century Briton (in Devon/ Cornwall, which is a beautiful place currently but rather over built upon in the book). She is struggling with new powers and having to deal with her mentor going missing, leaving her in charge of the House, a place where shifters go when they hit rock bottom and need help.

Ah Jim, right back at yer. It's a good yarn, peps.
David, I've downloaded David's first one too.
Emma, saw your post on the why do you write thread... it was you right? You sound as if you have a very similar relationship with your writing as I do! ;-)

If that was the one where I described how I write to keep from going crazy. Then yes, that was me. It's good to know I'm not the only one.

Here's my book:

which Lily did a brilliant review of over at her blog ().
I also have a Facebook page which is a grand day old (I'm so late to the social media party):

Yeh that was the one. :-)

In a 23rd Century Britain where oil and electricity are just a distant memory, the Kingsmen rule with a rod of iron and exact the severest penalties for the smallest crimes. Sixteen year old Flick Carter has saved the life of an injured Scav. But it’s not just the Kingsmen who want to get their hands on the boy and his illicit tech; there are forces far more dangerous who will stop at nothing, not even murder.

In addition, my lead character, Flick, has her own blog, twitter and Facebook page where she talks about what it's like to "star" in a book, gives away "behind the scenes secrets", talks about her fellow characters and what they're like when they're "out of character" etc...

She tells me her ambition is to get over 100 likes on Facebook... :)

It feels only right to point out that the design concept for the book was created through fiverr dot com. the first design was not what I wanted as the designer didn't listen to what I asked for. The second version however is pretty close to how I imagined it, that is not to say I don't like it, its awesome! But I see the characters looking different in my head. Who knows maybe you have read the book and see them as they are on the cover.
Anyway enough talk. here is some information you might want before picking up book one.
Here is the synopsis for the first book.
Two physicists, Kerry and Leon, are working in the underground laboratory of the ALICE complex of CERN in Switzerland when part of a routine experiment goes horribly wrong. Unbeknown to them, the experiment has inadvertently opened up a black hole that has not only affected our Earth, but every conceivable alternative reality. It is not until they go up to ‘ground level� that they see the full extent of the devastation that has occurred.
Minstor, Nyre, and thousands of others from alternate realities find themselves stranded in our world. Several of these Alternates form an alliance to help the scientists combat the problems caused by the disaster and to try and find a way home.
With the arrival of the UN peacekeepers under Major Horst, the small group of scientists and Alternates are torn between keeping the true nature of the disaster from the outside world, as well as the UN peacekeepers.
Meanwhile a ghostly rogue Alternate with significant mental abilities plans to escape through the Alps to create the life that he wants without realising the devastation it will cause.
With the help of a UN ambassador, the small group of seemingly normal Alternates and Scientists evade the watchful eye of Major Horst, the media, and the rest of the civilisation. Not knowing of where to turn, or who to trust, they try and keep our world from finding out what really happened whilst pursuing and ultimately stopping the rogue Alternate from hurting himself, and the destruction of Earth as we know it.
Both a team of soldiers under the command of Major Horst and the Alternates find themselves in Turin for a final and dramatic showdown.
