Simon Brading author 🪐📚

Just had my wallet stolen on the bus in Barcelona. One moments distraction with my son and they take advantage. Wasn't even a full bus.
Off to the police station tomorrow. Yay.

I've had one from George RR Martin, one from Suzanne Collins and Stephen King contacted me the other day. I can't believe they've heard of my books and I can't wait to start corresponding with them! They say they'd like to talk about writing with me AND are looking for investors in their next books!

new covers for the 5-part "Displacers" urban fantasy / time travel series

We are the protectors of time, of history itself.
The past isn’t nearly as set in stone as you might think; it can change and it can be changed, it’s just hard to do, and we have to be very careful how we do it.

The COMPLETED 5-PART "Displacers" #urbanfantasy #timetravel series.

Amazon Steampunk Science Fiction best sellers list with The Battle Over Britain at number 1

The Battle Over Britain with an orange Amazon #1 Best Seller badge

The Battle Over Britain sales page with an orange Amazon #1 Best Seller badge

Just look at that lovely orange banner!
I know it's not going to stay there, but just seeing it at all is amazing! (& I find it incredible that it ever got there at all!)
Not only that, but FOUR of my Misfits books are in the top 50 and NINE are in the top 100!
A BIG THANK YOU TO ALL MY READERS!

My old school asked me for a photo with my books
for their newsletter. I didn't have one, so I had to take one.
Considering my "day job" is as an actor you'd think I'd be good with a camera but after 100+ attempts THIS is the best I came up with...
What do you think? Be honest!

The cover of the bundle of books 1 to 5 of the Misfit Squadron series showing the Misfit Squadron badge.

The Misfit Squadron bundle has a new cover to match the series and of course it had to have the badge of Misfit Squadron itself!
Same great stories and same low price, though!
Just 9.99 for 5 books. 1500 pages of military aviation adventure set in an alt WW2

FINALLY got some covers worthy of my COMPLETED 5-part Urban Fantasy Time Travel series. What do you think?

Sam Vives is a "Displacer", someone with the ability to travel through time and whose job it is to make sure history turns out how it should.

If you find a typo in one of my books its now ok and I won't feel mortified anymore - apparently I left it there deliberately to prove that I didn't use AI when I write, even if some kind of dash sneaks its way in.

Few, thats a releif.

Quick note about the Misfit Squadron series.
The series comprises of 10 books & isn't finished, but please don't let that put you off; it is more like the Hornblower books or the Sharpe series than an Epic Fantasy series, in that each book is a self-contained story.
Why not give it a try?

The Second Great War is going poorly for Britain and the only thing standing between the all-conquering Prussian army and victory is a thin strip of blue water and the gallant men and women of the Royal Aviator Corps.

At school I wanted to be a pilot in the RAF so I joined the cadets & learned to fly. At 18 I was told that my eyes weren't good enough & I had to find something else to do with my life. I never let go of my love of aviation & 25yrs later I wrote the Misfit Squadron books

At first glance the Misfit Squadron series cover designs are deceptively simple, but take a closer look & you'll find hidden details & references, some of which aren't revealed until you've read the book & some of which hint at what you'll find within.
Why not take a closer look?

Sunrise over Barcelona

It's that time of year again when I get to rise with the sun.

I'm the only one in my family who is a morning person so I have a few moments to appreciate it before having to wake everyone up.

Good morning!
