I woke up this morning and I chose SCIENCE. Now I have a new website at www.tobyfrostauthor.co.uk.

Join the mailing list and get three free stories and a (monthly) newsletter about what I'm writing.


"A Gift From Pagalia" - Two courtiers plot to assassinate a rival in the Renaissance fantasy setting of Up To The Throne.

"A Day in the Service" - In the world of The Imposters, novice spy Richard Cleaver and his android minder, the terribly proper Helen Frampton, deal with botched handovers, corporate assassins and a large number of woolly rhinos. As you do in the interplanetary Secret Service.

"Sentimental Value" - Master thief Giulia Degarno is hired to return some compromising letters to their owner, by any means necessary. But the money's too good, and the employer too innocent, for things to go smoothly...

And er, well, that's about it! (I really must learn about this advertising business.)

I thought your Facebook post was pretty good fwiw

 

[Toby Frost]

Cheers Jo! I just edited the post too! Perhaps I need to have the courage of my convictions a bit more...

It's working, Toby. I just purchased Space Captain Smith. Who could resist that blurb?

 

[Toby Frost]

Great! You won't regret it and, in the event that you do, the sequels are even better!

Yes

I've signed up. I've only read two of the renaissance books but space captain Smith is on my radar.

Looking good, Toby! Living the high life at the V&A cafe, I see.

 

[Toby Frost]

Thanks guys! Indeed, we authors live an exciting life. I think that picture was actually taken at a restaurant in St Pancras. I've yet to make it to anywhere as classy as the V&A!

Oh well, that'll teach me not to try being clever!

 

[Toby Frost]

I've heard of this "being clever" thing, but I've never allowed it to interfere with my writing!

Cool site.
btw -the buy link on the home page goes to the Zon UK store (I'm in Japan.)

 

[Toby Frost]

Thanks for letting me know. I'm not exactly sure what to do about that: at the moment, most of my audience are in the UK, then the US, so it's a tricky one.

@Snicklefritz It's a fun series to read. I just bought book #2 of Space Captain Smith last week. You'll enjoy it!

Well done Toby! I signed up the newsletter. Great stuff!

You're in for a treat.

 

[Snicklefritz]

You're in for a treat.

It just arrived. I've placed on the top of the pile. An honor, @Toby Frost. It's a very big pile.

 

[Toby Frost]

I am indeed honoured!

Slightly weird random question for anyone who's read it: what is Up To The Throne like in terms of genre and similar authors? It's set in a mock-Renaissance city, with gunpowder and a small amount of magic. The lead character is a thief/assassin type, who is already established (so not a coming of age story). There are murders and swearing, but it's probably at the lighter end of grimdark. I think of it as a noir thriller, which doesn't place it in fantasy terms. The closest things I can think of are the computer games Thief and Dishonored.

"Grimdark" doesn't quite fit, but is close. "Dark Fantasy" seems to be vampires and sex. I'm not sure what "Flintlock Fantasy" is (it might be Napoleonic). Any thoughts appreciated!

I am now deep into Captain Smith and having a rip-roaring good time. I haven't laughed out loud as much while reading since Terry Pratchett. Well done, my friend.
