Launched!

As of yesterday, NZ has made a definite mark in the wider Doctor Who tapestry. We have had already mentions of New Zealand in DW, an NZ author writing books, but now we have a New Zealand publishing company producing new books for the worlds of Doctor Who.

Random Static has now released Newton's Sleep, the latest book in the Faction Paradox line, and I was there. Yeah, it was a big moment, and I came away with a copy of the book, signed the woman who created the cover (Emma Weakley)!

There were about a dozen of us gathered for drinks (foul tasting Sweeps) and nibbles, and we were treated to Daniel O'Mahoney reading first his prelude and an extract from the book. However, he was connected via Skype and the audio quality wasn't the best, so we did miss the occasional word. There was even a Q&A session where the Enemy was revealed! ... or rather, Daniel's knowledge of the Enemy was revealed. Unfortunately, his lips remained sealed on that actual information.

Anyways, with already a half-dozen copies of the book sold, Random Static is here and hopefully to stay for a while.
