Geoff Nelders ARIA - Left Luggage.

Geoff Nelder has just released his new book ARIA - Left Luggage. It is a sci-fi book with a very interesting subject. A virus which kills memory: 'Today, Jack caught a bug at work. He catches a bus home. By the time he disembarks in the desert town of Rosamond, all the other passengers and the driver have fuzzy heads. Jack had caught an amnesia bug, and it’s infectious.' You can see a trailer of Geoffs work on youtube.com .

Sundance London Short Film Winner

I came across this great short film, d irected by Daniel Lumb & Crinan Campbell, winner of the Sundance London Short Film Competition. It's called Extranjero (Foreigner) .  It seems to be messianic in nature, about a immigrant man on the road, getting lifts in the back of trucks, staying away from people.

I clicked the link and a woman was asking for a romantic sci-fi adventure, possibly post apocalyptic. I thought to myself, that describes my book, so I replied with a short message including a link to my book and a synopsis. Oh dear. What a mistake that was.

Synopsis: The world is in the grip of a large catastrophe. Edward lives in a small community which has barely survived the long cruel winter. But when a stranger called Dean arrives in town hope returns and he seems to have a magical effect on them. But Dean is being tracked by a large foreign military power and the town is in big trouble for giving him shelter. Reviews: "The book is intriguing. I found it overwhelming.
