About the Book books

Book Title: How Soon is Now?

Author: Paul Carnahan

Publisher: Tobasmuss Ink

Publication Date: June 10, 2024

Pages: 462

Genre: Contemporary Fantasy/Time Travel

A troubled ex-journalist launches a perilous mission into his own past after being recruited by a mysterious group of time travelers.

Luke Seymour uncovers the secrets of the eccentric Nostalgia Club as he battles to solve the riddle of their missing leader, honing his newly discovered – and dangerously addictive – talent for time travel and plunging ever deeper into his own time stream … where the terrible mistake that scarred his life is waiting.

Set in Glasgow and Edinburgh in the 1980s, 1990s and near-present, ‘How Soon Is Now?’ is a gripping new novel loaded with unforgettable characters, intricate storytelling, dark humour and a unique twist on the mechanics of time travel – all moving towards a powerful and emotional climax.

The Story Behind the Book: The Story Behind How Soon Is Now? by Paul Carnahan

“This being a time travel story, things quickly became pleasingly complicated. Twists, secrets and paradoxes piled up (a missing man, an unsolved murder, a maverick rival time traveller), but the mechanics of time travel within the novel remained resolutely down-to-earth. ‘How Soon Is Now?’ is a story about people, not technobabble or SF gimmickry.”

The Dark Phantom Review: Interview with Paul Carnahan, Author of How Soon Is Now?

“The book came from a basic idea I’d carried around for years until I found the right story to do it justice – what would it be like to be able to travel back and relive any previous part of your life? It’s an idea that could slot into many different story formats – romantic comedy, sci-fi thriller, etc etc – but in the end it only really came to life when I really started to think about the real-life reasons people might end up with a time-bending skill like that.”

My Bookish Pleasures: 📖Authors To Watch: Paul Carnahan, Author of How Soon is Now?

“I loved writing the college reunion scenes which show the slow evolution of Luke’s acceptance, understanding and mastery of his newly-discovered time travel skills. Approaching the same scene from multiple angles, with slight variations each time, was a lot of fun.”

The Writer’s Life e-Magazine: A Bookish Chat with ‘How Soon is Now?’ Paul Carnahan

“‘How Soon Is Now?’ is a song title pilfered from The Smiths, every dour 1980s UK student’s favourite band. I was a very dour 1980s student so, naturally, I adored The Smiths. In draft form, my debut novel was simply called ‘The Nostalgia Club’, after the group of time-travelling misfits at its heart. But in a moment of inspiration in the shower – for some reason, most of my inspiration arrives while I’ve got shampoo in my eyes – I realised there was really only one title for a book about a troubled former indie music obsessive stuck in the past. I love the way the title hints at an endless yearning for something that never quite arrives. And I still just love that tune.”

Guest Blogging at Sybrina’s Book Blog: How Soon Is Now By Paul Carnahan

“There were various potential stories over the years. One was for a time-travelling romantic comedy similar to the 1986 Kathleen Turner movie ‘Peggy Sue Got Married’ – college hi-jinks with a middle-aged protagonist transported back to his college days. The more I thought about the practicalities of it, though, the less attractive that particular idea became. In fact, it began to seem downright icky in these more enlightened times.”

Interview with Deal Sharing Aunt

“Apart from a brief early period when I was convinced I was going to be a zoo keeper, writing of some kind was always my aim. By my teens, I was always writing something or other – scripts based on my favourite TV shows, short stories, poems … anything! By then, though, I had decided journalism was the career for me – and it was, for nearly 30 years.”

The Literary Nook: Q&A: Paul Carnahan, Author of How Soon Is Now?

“‘How Soon Is Now?’ is a complex, knotty, densely-plotted time travel story full of twists, turns, secrets and paradoxes, but, at its heart, it’s about people. The time travel ‘hook’ is a fantastic way to dig into some big issues that touch us all, such as the pull of the past, the perils of nostalgia, love, loss, guilt and predestination – all while telling a rattling good yarn.”
