The Kasterborous Book Ultimate Regeneration

[Tomspy77]

I am currently writing some last minute extra material for a book the Doctor Who site Kasterborous is trying to finish and tidy up before Xmas time.

I will of course have work in this book and will post here more about the project when I know more about release dates and order info etc...

I have seen an in progress copy of the book and it looks like a great book and can't wait to hold the finished product in my hands.

A new ad was paced on the Kasterborous site and on Facebook and Twitter concerning the book and it will be out sooner then you think, I'm excited to say the least, just thought I'd share the ad with all of you here as well:

Regular readers may recall news of the first book to be produced by Kasterborous.com – and Ultimate Regeneration will soon be here!

Written and edited by Christian Cawley, ably assisted by Brian Terranova and with contributions from Anthony Dry, Simon Mills, Thomas Willam Spychalski, Gareth Kavanagh and many more, the book tells the real-time critical story of the Russell T Davies era of Doctor Who, from the point of few of a fledgling website of 30-somethings more used to the trappings of Hinchcliffe-era Doctor Who or the wonders of the overlit worlds of John Nathan-Turner’s TARDIS family than the soapy exploits on the Powell Estate and red sex toy aliens on intergalactic starliners.

Ultimate Regeneration features essays, articles, reviews and interviews, with the full story placed into context with a running commentary on the main events in Doctor Who news and the reaction of fandom.

Including 60 Doctor Who reviews from Rose to The End of Time, Part Two, over 30 articles including character, actor and writer profiles and bursting with typical Kasterborous verve, Ultimate Regeneration tells the full story of the 2005-2010 era of Doctor Who, covering 2 Doctors, 5 companions and one visionary showrunner.

Unlike other website to book translations, Ultimate Regeneration consists of an almost 50-50 split of content previously seen online and original material, making this a unique and reliable episode by episode account of the “first impression” feelings of the episode reviewers.

Within, you will find studies on Donna Noble, Rose Tyler and Martha Jones (to name but a few), references to press reaction of various episodes, overarching discussions into each series and quite a lot of original material.

Running to 300 pages, Ultimate Regeneration is intended to the the “ultimate” independent record of 5 full years of Doctor Who.

Release of Ultimate Regeneration is expected to be in the next few weeks, and we will be taking pre-release orders shortly.

Wow, this is exciting, congratulations on getting your work included in this book.

[Tomspy77]

Thank you very much Sherlew, yeah it seems the writing is coming along, I have also signed a contract to write for Brighthub (Essentially they know I can write, it's up to me to create content to get page views and get paid, but it could be another step closer to living a dream...) and have been offered the chance to re-write news and such for another website Christina Cawley (The guy who runs Kasterborous) has, with a share of the ad revenue when and if it takes off.

I think I ma getting closer as I said but I need to keep at it and keep writing.

Of course I also must mention that I am only getting paid for the book in a few contributors copies unless the second run takes off or there is a huge demand, but it means I'm a real bloody writer does it not?

I also must mention that the book will be about twenty two dollars or so US for a print copy and about eight bucks for a PDF of the book...

Still, no matter what it will be awesome to hold a book in my hands that has my name on it and my work in it. I might cry..no joke!
(Yes, I am a big sissy! )

I can also use this post to note to all that soon there will be an entire website about me as an author for promotion purposes...I want to see if I can get to do this for a living at some point.

Please note that this pre-order offer is for a limited time only.*

We’ve packed in 60 Doctor Who reviews from Rose to The End of Time, Part Two, plus over 30 character, actor and writer profiles. It’s all linked together with typical Kasterborous verve and a little bit of wit, as the following might demonstrate:

“An interesting turn of phrase there by Brian A Terranova: “Doctor Who has got its groove back.” I’d like to qualify this by telling you that Brian is in fact an aged 1960s hipster with a liking for Belgian jazz and hemp, but he’s not. He’s just a Doctor Who fan with too many Character Options figures and replica outfits and props.”

Ultimate Regeneration tells the full story of the 2005-2010 era of Doctor Who, covering 2 Doctors, 5 companions and one visionary showrunner. Not only is it a collection of reviews, however, but also an account of how some old school Doctor Who fans learned to stop worrying and enjoy the ride.

*Anyone who would like to purchase Ultimate Regeneration but doesn’t want to pay by PayPal should contact me directly at [e-mail] where we can discuss alternative payment options.
