Jemima Pett

Time and Tinplate: Sir Woebegone and Other Timely Tales (Unexpected Twisty Tales, #3) (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

There was a time when Sir Woebegone was merely a character mentioned in passing. Now he has a series of tales, all resulting from his ineptitude and method of travelling time or space (or both). Fortunately, other time travellers are more intelligent - some more than human, some less so, and some, well... some may develop from us if we're lucky. And sometimes people can be in two places at once.
Drawn from the last ten years of her weekly flash fiction, Jemima Pett presents 23 on the theme of time. They cover most of the speculative fiction range, with several references to other famous people, characters and historical events.

Autorenporträt

Jemima Pett has been living in a world of her own for many years. Writing stories since she was eight, drawing maps of fantasy islands with train systems and timetables at ten. Unfortunately no-one wanted a fantasy island designer, so she tried a few careers, getting great experiences in business, environmental research and social work. She finally got back to building her own worlds, and wrote about them. Her business background enabled her to become an independent author, responsible for her own publications.

Her first series, the Princelings of the East, mystery adventures for advanced readers set in a world of tunnels and castles entirely populated by guinea pigs, is now complete. The tenth and final book, Princelings Revolution, came out in October 2020. Jemima does chapter illustrations for these. She has also edited two volumes of Christmas stories for young readers, the BookElves Anthologies, and her father's memoirs White Water Landings, about the Imperial Airways flying boat service in Africa. She has compiled four collections of flash fiction tales, publishing in the first half of 2021. She is now writing the third in her science fiction series set in the Viridian System, in which the aliens include sentient trees.

Jemima lived in a village in Norfolk with her guinea pigs, the first of whom, Fred, George, Victor and Hugo, provided the inspiration for her first stories, The Princelings of the East. She is now living in Hampshire, writing science fiction for grown-ups, hatching plans for a new series, and writing more short stories for anthologies.
