New 'Mind-Spinning Tale of Dual Realities' Novel The Transference Now Available

By
My new speculative fiction novel 'The Transference' is now available for download on Amazon Kindle. This tale has had a total first character re-write and I am now happy to publish it for the world (or at least the few who follow this blog) to judge. It's a strange tale of false memory and obsession set in the English town of Capistrano, which may well hold more than one 'reality' within its ancient walls. Below is the synopsis; a click on the post will bring you to the sales site.
Thanks, Dave.

‘Tell us what you saw Joe, tell us everything. We’ve been waiting twenty long years for this!’

Shy orphan Joe Bryant’s best friend James sets him up with a job at a long-established scientific research and development company in his hometown of Capistrano. Despite Joe’s lack of the basic knowledge required for the position, Trans-Port Incorporated's boss, Professor William Carver, appears only too welcoming. The catch soon appears; Joe is pressurized into being the subject of the team’s teleportation test trials. Luckily things turn out well for him. That is until it’s explained that the test didn’t merely teleport Joe to another place, it sent him to a parallel reality; an identical copy of Capistrano. Almost identical… It’s the world Joe’s father John escaped to after a terrible crime twenty years previously. The process, invented by John himself, is called ‘The Transference’. Now Carver and Trans-Port want Joe to use it again – to bring John Bryant back.

But first the stunned Joe needs some answers: like how come he’s the only one suitable for the task, who are the mysterious Institute? And why has he never left Capistrano?

This mind-spinning tale of dual realities will have the reader guessing then guessing again as they follow the timid librarian’s gradual awakening to the riddles that have dictated in his life. As each new revelation brings him closer to the truth Joe is eventually faced with the biggest of them all - the one that could finally break him.

Dacorum Radio Interview on Leslie Tate's Show - The Full Broadcast

By
A couple of weeks ago writer and broadcaster Leslie Tate graciously asked if I'd appear on his evening Dacorum Radio show in a double bill with the excellent Portuguese actress Marta Carvalho who was great company and obviously much more interesting than myself. I had a great time chatting with Leslie, and Marta, about writing, inspiration (or lack of), ideas and the process of creating a story, or at least the way I do it. I chose four favourite music tracks, designed to illustrate the lost art of tale-telling arcs in rock lyrics, but due to my rabbiting on only two of them got played; Procol Harum and XTC. Dacorum Radio's link to the interview is below, please have a listen: https://www.mixcloud.com/radiodacorum/dacorum-radio-interview-with-author-dave-weaver-by-leslie-tate-290120-2000-2100/

I will be making an appearance on local writer Leslie Tate's 'Wednesday Live' talk and music show on Wednesday 29th January from 8 - 9pm. Or at least my voice will. We will be discussing writing science and speculative fiction, what's involved in getting your book conceptualised, written and hopefully published and other random stuff about writing. Leslie himself is an an accomplished author so it should prove an interesting exchange of experiences and approaches to the subject. Please tune in, if you can, to Radio Dacorum for a listen. I've also chosen four of my favourite music tracks (10cc, Steely Dan, XTC and Procol Harum actually) and will hopefully get a chance to rattle on about why I think they're a particularly fab example of the art of writing 70's story-arc rock lyrics which we unfortunately seem to have lost these days. Happy listening!
