To Rise Again
|
Stewart Bint's latest novel, To Rise Again, was published on September 7th, and is available from Amazon in paperback and for Kindles, here.
Just before the German occupation during World War II, the Marquand family flees their home in the English Channel, and never returns. Now, it's the summer of 1983, and the once-opulent Idlewild mansion is crumbling and derelict. The mansion holds a mysterious lure for 18-year-old David Simeon, who dreams of Idlewild years past, as it used to be. But who is the young girl he sees, endlessly wandering through its corridors? As the nerve-shattering link between David, the girl, and the mysterious Idlewild comes to light, is it too late to stop the seeds of destruction and world domination planted there long ago, during Adolf Hitler’s last desperate throw of the dice in World War ll? Fantasy, science fiction, horror and paranormal mingle in Stewart Bint's To Rise Again, as the threads of 1945 and 1983 slowly intertwine to reveal a world on the brink of destruction. |

Twitter Bully proceeds To Go To
UK Sepsis Trust
Originally appearing in Stewart Bint's Thunderlands short story collection, and subsequently published in an anthology by Plaisted Publishing House Ltd., of New Zealand, Stewart Bint's highly acclaimed short story The Twitter Bully has now been republished as a stand-alone edition, with all proceeds going to the UK Sepsis Trust.
|
Stewart Bint explains why he has brought out this special edition of The Twitter Bully, and why he is donating all proceeds from it to the organisation that is fighting sepsis in the UK.
"Readers of my blog on this website, and my magazine column, know that I'm passionate about raising the work of the UK Sepsis Trust in their fight against sepsis, which kills 44,000 people in the UK each year. That’s more than bowel cancer, breast cancer and prostate cancer put together. "Basically, sepsis arises when the body’s response to an infection goes wrong and injures its own tissues and organs. To save a life, early recognition and getting basic treatments such as antibiotics and fluids into the patient WITHIN THE FIRST HOUR, are vital. "Thanks to the incredible work of The UK Sepsis Trust and its supporters and volunteers, word is getting out there. Awareness is growing all the time. "The media are also playing their part. Plus, Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt has launched an initiative to help parents spot the signs in children. But he also says the medical profession should up their game as well: “We need to get far better at spotting it across the NHS. By raising awareness and improving clinical practice we will save lives in the fight against this horrible illness.” "Some of the symptoms to look out for: Slurred Speech; Extreme shivering or muscle pain; Passing no urine in a day; Severe breathlessness; Losing consciousness; Discoloured or mottled skin; Very high or low temperature; Racing heart beat; Rapid, shallow breathing. "It’s not just health professionals fighting sepsis. There are many ways that volunteers can help. Personally, I promote sepsis awareness regularly to my 13,000 Twitter followers, and just before Christmas I delivered leaflets and symptom cards to my local primary school, medical centre, Bosworth College’s Desford campus, and, while walking round it seemed like hundreds of, households in my village. |
|
"Thanking me for my delivery efforts, Sepsis Trust CEO Dr Ron Daniels BEM said: “We need an army of folk like you.”
"So, please email info@sepsistrust.org and ask for some leaflets and cards. Or look at all the fund-raising and volunteering opportunities on their website: www.sepsistrust.org.
"But above all, please, please, please, buy The Twitter Bully -- I'm told it's a cracking read, and you'll be raising funds for this extremely worthwhile cause. "

The Jigsaw And The Fan is officially launched
Stewart Bint's latest novel, The Jigsaw And The Fan, was officially launched on October 15th.
Available as a paperback and for all r-readers, it tells the satirical story of a dead trades unionist who can't get into Heaven or Hell because of a strike in the afterlife.
Described by critics as "A freshly original and entertaining social satire," and "Sharp and well-paced wit keeps the reader entertained from the beginning to end...a well-intentioned but short-sighted adventure, the book is published by Dragon Moon Press, based in the city of Red Deer, Alberta, in Canada.
Stewart Bint says: "The Jigsaw And The Fan was inspired by memories of reading the news on radio, and hosting current affairs and 'phone-in shows during the bitter miners' strike of 1984/85."
The Jigsaw And The Fan - how much trouble can one disgruntled ghost really make?
Albert Carter has died, and finds himself in the spirit world to get sorted out at St Christopher's gates. Having been a successful shop steward picketing the management of Jebson's Glue Factory on behalf of his colleagues, he feels confident his final destination is Heaven, with the rest of the decent, honest working class.
However, on arrival at St. Christopher's Doomsday Ministry, an inspectors' strike causes all spirits in transit to be temporarily relocated to Earth until the dispute can be settled. Albert''s assignment is his worst nightmare: a wealthy Lord's manor which operates on the hard-earned wages of his own class. He immediately sets out to ruin the capitalist family, and begins his unlawful haunting as the Ghost of Marlston Manor.

Timeshaft is here -- paperback and e-format
|
Stewart Bint's exciting time travel thriller, Timeshaft, was published on February 6th, and is now available as paperback and eformat, from Amazon and Barnes & Noble.
Originally published by Smashwords in 2013, the new Booktrope edition includes a new beginning, new ending and a number of additional scenes, as well as a great new cover. So what is Timeshaft all about? By the twenty-seventh century, mankind has finally mastered time travel—and is driving recklessly towards wiping itself out. The guerilla environmentalist group WorldSave, with its chief operative Ashday’s Child, uses the Timeshaft to correct mistakes of the past in an effort to extend the life of the planet. But the enigmatic Ashday’s Child has his own destiny to accomplish, and will do whatever it takes within a complicated web of paradoxes to do so. While his destiny—and very existence—is challenged from the beginning to the end of time, he must collect the key players through the ages to create the very Timeshaft itself. “Do our actions as time travellers change what would otherwise have happened, or is everything already laid down in a predetermined plan?” he asks. Stewart Bint’s Timeshaft is an expertly synchronized saga of time travel, the irresistible force of destiny, and the responsibility of mankind as rulers of the world.
