Matthew Waterhouse Original Fiction - World To End?
http://www.hirstbooks.com/matthew.html
Remembered for his regular role in Doctor Who in the early 1980s, Matthew Waterhouse has written two dark and humourous novels set in New York. We are proud to be publishing these along with his brilliantly told "Doctor Who : Time Regained - A Memoir in Four Episodes" - which covers both Matthew's boyhood interest in Doctor Who, and his two seasons playing Adric alongside Tom Baker and Peter Davison.
Matthew has already self-published his first novel ('Fates, Flowers') in New York, however this is a brand new publication for the UK, complete with a new cover which will compliment its sequel, 'Vanitas'.
Fair play to him, I say. If he's any good, he should make a success of it.Pity. I have no understanding of the word. It is not registered in my vocabulary bank. EXTERMINATE!

I'm always a bit wary of anything "self-published" since a friend kind of persuaded me to buy an online copy of their book ... which was not the best. They were actually working on the 3rd volume of it ... where I thought surely they needed just to rewrite what they'd done so far.
I bet his Dr Who memoirs will sell though. Shame it couldn't have a more punchy title like "The Adric Memoirs: No-one likes a know-it-all".Remember, just because Davros is dead doesn't mean the Dalek menace has been contained ......

I think we should all take his stories with a pinch of sodium chloride.
Dennis, Francois, Melba and Smasher are competing to see who can wine and dine Lola Whitecastle and win the contract to write her memoirs. Can Dennis learn how to be charming? Can Francois concentrate on anything else when food is on the table? Will Smasher keep his temper under control?
If only the 28th century didn't keep popping up to get in Dennis's way...

The Doctor Who related books industry is one of the UK's few growth industries right now. We should be proud!

I can see the cabinet meeting ...
Adviser: Well Gordon ... the price of oil is still causing a problem for the economy, pushing energy rates sky-high. And I'm afraid we're still not seeing much bounce-back on property prices.
However the good news is we're seeing a bounce back in Doctor Who book sales. As you remember we were a little worried about the lack of a series this year might impact on that ...
Gordon: But we still had the specials to look forward to!
Adviser: The specials were shyte!!! Anyway this is an excellent area of growth at the moment ... so I'm advising we move our major economy onto buying and selling Dr Who merchandise for the whole county.
Gordon: But what if this is just a fad? Remember what happened when Tom Baker took over, and everyone stopped watching ...
Adviser: That was Colin Baker.
Gordon: But David Tennant was a popular Doctor, and now they've got this new guy.
Adviser: Exactly, new guy, new logo - ker-ching, we've a whole new line of merchandise to push now.Remember, just because Davros is dead doesn't mean the Dalek menace has been contained ......

Hmm...I'm not sure Gordon Brown was ever Prime Minister in the DW universe...
For every fail, there is an equal and opposite win.
