Welcome to my website

I'm Thomas Marshall, author of Stride for Stride and many works of short fiction.
Check out my News page and my Stride for Stride page for updates on my next novel! Lots of people have been asking when the next book is coming out and now that the book is finished I will post updates here. You can also sign up for e-mail updates and be among the first to know when this novel finds its home!
Finally, I keep hearing about readers who are waiting to buy a Kindle to read my e-books. I just want to remind everyone that this is not necessary; you can read them on any computer or gadget you like. More details are available beside the book announcements on this website, or on the Amazon page. (My wife, the lovely and talented Lily Mars, downloaded the application and within minutes had her e-books on both her PC and her iPad, without even trying.)

GV available on Amazon worldwide
My novella GV is now available from Amazon. If you don't have a Kindle, download the app from Amazon (or from the app store for your iPad or iPhone). Takes just a minute or two and you're all set.
About GV
In the world of GV, computer games have evolved to the point at which you can superimpose your image onto those of the characters in the game. This is called Going Vicarious, or GV. The game progresses based on the choices made by the people who have elected to participate (by, as previously described, superimposing their images). Imagine reality television, but you’re actually in it. Where the line between game and reality is exactly, we can’t be sure, and that intriguing question forms the mystery behind this story.
The story leads us through this world of appearances in which form eclipses meaning, and the lines between games and real life are thin and blurred.
