“Something has gone very wrong with time!”
The Time Lord formerly known as the Doctor has been fighting the Time War for as long as he can recall. His previous lives — all those triumphs and tragedies — have been boxed up and filed away, too painful to revisit.
That is until something — or someone — begins tugging at the thread of the Doctor’s past. As familiar stories twist and shift, threatening the stability of the universe itself, the reluctant Warrior finds himself with only one option.

A Time Lord for Change is a brand-new charity anthology that takes every single television Doctor Who story from 1963-2015 (from ‘An Unearthly Child’ to ‘The Husbands of River Song’) – covering all the Doctors, companions, adventures, and enemies – and responds to them re-imagines and re-interprets them as drabbles: stories, poems, letters, songs, vignettes and memoirs of exactly 100 words in length, no more, no less. And this book contains over 270 of them!
The book is £7.49. Each copy bought from Amazon USA, Amazon UK and Amazon EU will mean a £2 donation to mental health charity MIND.

Gertrude Harrington was something of a celebrity. In her 100th year, and sadly diagnosed with an inoperable brain tumour, she became an amateur sleuth and began solving the unsolvable. Her doctors suggested it was the tumour pressing on uncharted sections of her brain that was granting her these deductive powers. New Scotland Yard were just happy to tick off twenty unsolved cases that had eluded a conclusion. These twenty cases, contained in this anthology, may have made Sherlock Holmes think twice before setting out to solve them. But then, Sherlock Holmes wasn't a multi-tasking woman.
The book is £9.99. Each copy bought through our Lulu store will mean a £3 donation to 'Invest in ME'
Invest is Me is a UK charity established in 2006 by parents of children with myalgic encephalomyelitis (ME) and people with ME; aiming to change how ME is perceived and treated in the media and healthcare system and to develop a strategy of biomedical research in order to find bio-markers for diagnosis, and treatments or cures. The charity is a founder member of the European ME Alliance and works in productive collaboration with other international patient organisations.
