Tony James Slater is a very, very strange man. He believes himself to be indestructible, despite considerable evidence to the contrary. He sometimes makes strange faces whilst pretending to be attacked by inanimate objects. But perhaps his single biggest problem is this; he has a mouth so big he is in danger of swallowing his own head. As a result he often ends up far from mainstream civilization, tackling ridiculous challenges and subjecting himself to constant danger. He gets hurt quite a lot.

Hi there!
After 'Shave My Spider!' was released in May last year, I took a bit of time off to travel around the US, staying with a load of my readers. I got 'home' to Perth in early 2017, and have been working flat out on a new book ever since! It should be released within the next month, and it's a prequel, following my disastrous attempt to become a world-famous actor... SPOILER ALERT - I never succeeded ;)
It will be called, 'Don't You Know Who I Am?'(less)

Lovely to hear from you! I'm still working on travel memoirs, but taking time out in between them to do the sci-fi. I've got one more sci-fi book to write and release this year before I start working on the next memoir next year, which should take us up to Roo discovering that she's pregnant with our daughter Freya ;)(less)

My new book is out now!

Hi folks! I just wanted to let you all know that I’ve finally launched a new book…
'Spark of Resistance' – part one of a trilogy exploring the origins of Kyra, from the Earth Warden books!

She’s my favourite character by a mile, and I really wanted to explore her backstory – to find out what happened to turn her into the ass-kicking, sarcastic, compulsive liar that we know and love. Writing a book e Read more of this blog post »

Just as good the second time!

The Middle Falls books are my comfort read, and this one is as good as the rest of them. Page turning and fascinating, this time with more focus on action. Thoroughly enjoyable and highly recommended by me 😉

Great series starter

Fascinating and original take on the apocalypse, full of great characters, action and drama, but best if all something that is missing from most books in this genre: hope. All in all, a brilliant read and I am off to grab the next

“Please don't follow in my footsteps. I'm already knee-deep in them, and am sinking rapidly...”
Tony James Slater

“And then came the three-toed sloth. Stupid sloth. It was a crazy-looking beastie, all arms and bristling grey fur; its body was a blob, the kind of shape a six-year-old would draw for a pig, and its face was flattened like a racoon that had run full tilt into a brick wall. A triangular stub of a nose jutted out at an angle beneath a fringe that must have been difficult to see through. In fact, from side-on it looked disturbingly like John Lennon.”
Tony James Slater, That Bear Ate My Pants!: Will Boy Become Man? Or Will Boy Become Breakfast...

“often tell me how lucky I am, to live in a country where cheap flights to dozens of exciting destinations are so readily available. They never understand why England doesn’t completely empty into Prague or Budapest every weekend. What they don’t appreciate is that to take advantage of these cheap flights, one must generally get to London; and that getting to London, from almost anywhere else in the country, is either dramatically more expensive, or considerably less pleasant, than the flights in question. Usually both.”
