“Etailers” are carrying the underwater thriller for only $2.99 this weekend, from Sept. 13 to 15.
New Review Alert: A new review has appeared over at online review site THE FUTURE FIRE. It’s a generally positive review, quite comprehensive, discussing everything from the plot to character development to the story’s political ramifications to the diagrams I included in the book.

On Tuesday 16 July, I traveled to Toronto and visited the offices of SiriusXM Canada as a guest of The Todd Shapiro Show, a talk radio show on SiriusXM Canada Channel 167.


The War Beneath by Timothy S. Johnston
I watched THE TERMINATOR on the weekend.
I had to.
It was calling me.
I use the phrases “watershed film” or “watershed book” quite a lot. That’s the point of this entire blog. What are the movies/books/tv shows that influenced me in the years leading to my first attempts at writing fiction? Hell, even the name of this blog — “Life After Gateway” — is a nod to my favorite Science Fiction novel. This blog is dedicated to the books and movies that inspired me in my creative/formative years. A few TV series, some fantastic authors, and a small selection of short stories helped along the way. Certain teachers were invaluable too.
