What would you do if you received an SOS message from... yourself?
Poor Ashley Darwen. There he was, in mid-1990s London, gallantly assisting his university girlfriend Molly with her implausible time travel invention, when suddenly the damn thing managed to work and sent him spinning twenty-three years into the future. So now it’s 2019 and Ashley has materialised next to a highway junction in Florida, with no money, ID, nor any idea what to do now.
Days later, back across the Atlantic, TV actress Ash Darwen is trying to jumpstart her wavering career when she receives an SOS message from someone claiming to be a version of herself from twenty-three years ago. It’s a scam, of course; but then the sender mentions Molly, the university girlfriend Ash spent years trying to forget.
What crazy tangle has Molly created, and why? How come Ash and her “parallel self” are different sexes? And will any of this nonsense bring Ash closer to winning a BAFTA?
In Flipping Dimensions, musician/novelist Tim Thornton turns his attention away from the world of rock'n'roll, and instead examines what happens when the star of a sci-fi TV drama finds herself caught up in an all-too-real time travel mystery...
Praise for Tim Thornton's The Alternative Hero
"Tim Thornton's portrait of a pop culture obsession is so convincing that one can't help wishing that his fictional alt rock band actually existed, or suspecting that they did. The Alternative Hero is a weirdly compelling portrait of fanatic fandom which reads like High Fidelity at high volume" -- Jay McInerney
"Brilliant depictions of the era...nails it so precisely" -- Stuart Evers, The Word
"With The Alternative Hero, Tim Thornton has gone through the looking glass of obsessive fandom and brought back a hilarious, memorable, and hard-rocking tale" -- Madison Smartt Bell, author of All Souls' Rising
Death Of An Unsigned Band
"Really funny... Writing about bands could slip into pompous theorising, but this does what all good books should do, which is concentrate on the personalities" -- Alexandra Heminsley, BBC Radio 6Music
"Hilariously charts the dismal lows of a struggling band" -- Henry Sutton, Daily Mirror
Genre: Literary Fiction
