Paperback Writer

In the few days since my novel Solid State was published, I have been very pleased at the reviews tumbling in, although I get very uneasy reading nice things about my work (which I guess proves I’m English after all). Here are some snippets:

Tim’s uncanny, broad, awareness of what is happening all around us, on a daily basis; combined with his grasp of history, brings a powerful message via this, his first novel.

Lumen Lux

Fantastic! A well structured ride that keeps giving. It’s refreshing to have smart action back in vogue. I hope this is just the beginning of his fiction writing.

J. Martin

This is a must read for any fan of financial markets, macro economics, and geo-political developments. Tim certainly knows his history, and he is a tremendous chartist, superb trader, and now successful novelist!

They sold out of the hardcover on the day it came out, but there are still paperbacks available (and obviously they’ll replenish the hardcover soon). Here is the link to the Amazon page.

For those of you who are not subscribers yet, I’ve got a very special offer: if you sign up for the Gold package, I will send you an autographed copy of the hardcover book (since I still have some!). Hell, you could even cancel after a month, and you’ve only paid the retail price for the book and got your membership for free! (Of course, I hope you’ll see enough value to stay put for a while).

If you’d like to do this, click here to sign up for Gold, and drop me an email to tell me where you’d like me to send you a signed hardcover copy of my book. Thanks!

Eighteen Years Old & Newly Born

By -

Today is a doubly special day.

For one thing, today is Slope of Hope’s 18th birthday. Every year on March 29th, I’ve written up some kind of “happy birthday” message to celebrate yet another annum in Slope’s long and storied history. It seems hard to believe that, were Slope a person, it would now be old enough to vote and have consensual sex. Let us all take a moment of gratitude that Slope is, in fact, an abstraction and incapable of doing either of those things. Sort of like its creator.

Some things never change, huh?

The Joy of Charting Returns!

By -

A few years ago, i wrote a book called Joy of Charting, which was a combination introduction to technical analysis as well as a guide to SlopeCharts.

It was originally just an eBook, but I’ve updated it and printed it up as a good-looking 234 page honest-to-God printed book which I am giving away free to anyone who signs up for any of Slope’s paid memberships.

Printing the book and shipping to you is something I’ll pay for – – all you need to do is sign up for a package (even the humble Bronze monthly!) and tell me where you’d like me to ship it, and you’ll have it in a couple of days! Click here to choose your package, and the book is yours!
