Major problems cause havoc at Infinity Junction
Apologies all round- a proposed 3 month gradual move of office turned into nightmare year long disaster here at Infinity Junction organisation HQ!
During the move the roof was found to be rotten and had to be stripped off completely to be replaced with a much more substantial and modern one. To make matters worse, while the old roof was open, the weather could not have been much worse. The autumn of the build saw some of the strongest and most prolonged rain recorded in our part of the country- tarpaulins were useless- considerable damage was done; the mess was dreadful. Since the roof was deliberatley taken off, no insurance applied. The new roof took over 5 months af actual building, let alone new ceilings below, new electrics, clearing up, decorating, new carpets, new furniture and so on, all on a very tightly stretched budget. All computer and internet work had to be done on temporary and very unreliable set-ups in most uncomfortable conditions. Our entire paperwork system had to be moved out in a panic to avoid the floods and only in high summer were started to be retreived from under piles of other stuff moved to avoid serious rain storm and building work damage. The NuGets column and updates of Blogjob virtually stopped and only the most urgent bills were paid. During that period normal publishing, appraising and reading work also became extremely slow and we lost trade as a result. On top of that, we suffered a series of major computer crashes which destroyed data of 6 separate hard discs. Some material has been lost, possibly forever. We are still suffering knock-on effects and unforseen minor problems and are likely to do so into 2011. Infinity Junction (the organisation) would like to thank all those who stuck with us through this difficult time.
Like we say- sorry all round to those affected.Only 10 years gestation! Infinity Junction, (the novel by Neil Gee, rather than the organisation or websites) was finished as a first draft in 1998. At that time nobody would touch it because of its subject matter, God and creation, and the fact that someone had dared to use it for a satire. Well it was withdrawn for ages as religious tensions grew. Now it has been re-written and properly published for the first time... not for anyone of religious sensitivity! Last few First Edition copies left! Read about Infinity Junction by Neil Gee
One Good Man - This novel by Ruth Rowling, an intriguing tale set in a fearful and uncertain atmosphere in Oslo during the second world war, has the unique distinction of getting a whole page review in Norway's most prominent broadsheet newspaper... and they liked it.

New Budding Bestseller / Budding Author format and low price. Infinity Junction's comprehensive and very practical guide for authors and writers, Budding Bestseller, has gone digital. As production costs rose in printed form we decided to sell it from now on as a .pdf digital file and send it to purchasers as an e-mail attachment. As a result, instead of putting the price up, it has actually been reduced. Not only that but sent by e-mail there is no postage and packing to add. Portable Document Format, .pdf, can be read and printed by virtually all 21st century computers and many older ones too.
BOOKS THAT SLIPPED THE INFINITY JUNCTION NET. There are a number of books whose authors have asked us to be included on our books for sale list, but who failed to respond to e-mails. Was that you? Some of these books have even had web feature pages made for them. However until reliable communications are established we will not be uploading those pages or linking them to our shop. Shame really: some of them are of wide interest, including a well illustrated book about the Appleby Rai horse fair in Yorkshire. ***LATEST- Gordon Thorburn, its co-author has just read this and made contact again- Appleby Rai should be here soon! STOP PRESS- those six discs that crashed took his contact details with them... please Gordon...
We'd like to point out some rather special books on our list
which we think are worth your attention: books of social or historical significance.We have placed one or two of our books on Amazon's list,
however since we make virtually zero profit through them, we'd much rather
you bought directly from us- (same prices- apart from our special offers which are cheaper from us.) The profit we make from our own
sales is almost entirely ploughed back into Infinity Junction's support of
good but lesser known authors and writers by way of free help, on-line information and occasional printed anthologies etc. Please
support us if you can.If reading this as a saved page, log onto the
