Congratulations are in order for Tony Thorne MBE whose collection of short stories, titled Tenerife Tall Tales with a Twist walked away with first prize in the SciFi section of the 2009 Book Festival Contest in New York.
There are rumours that one of the stories from Tony’s book, Hologhosts, involving holograms and history in the rock strewn heights of Tenerife may be made into a movie or film short. Having read it, I can tell you it would make for gripping entertainment.
Having come this far under his own prodigious steam, Tony is now looking for a professional agent to handle all his work including his just completed first novel for young adults which has the following introduction by Harry Harrison, an author of over 20 novels, films scripts and many short story collections:
Tony Thorne has the mind of a scientist and the soul of an artist. His science and technology are correct, his extrapolations wonderful and ingenious. But then – surprise! A blackness may descend – or a brilliant flash of black humour. Read and enjoy
Tony’s books are available to purchase through Amazon, W.H. Smith, Waterstones or any mail order book supplier or you can browse through his extensive website and purchase direct from there via Paypal. If you happen to be a professional agent or perhaps a fan, just wanting to say hi, then drop Tony a line by email.
Hmmmm… I bet I can think of a few people who would appreciate this book in their Christmas stocking…
Thank you very much for that … most appreciated!
All the very best from … Tony
