This the first in a series of interviews with our publishing authors on Free-eBooks.net.

Today we talk with Peter Ward, author of Time Rep.

eBookEnvy: Tell us a little about you, your writing, your passions.

Peter Ward: Well, I live in London with my girlfriend and a very small cat. My passion is making people laugh, and I had a huge amount of fun coming up with the cast of characters in Time Rep and watching what happened when they found themselves trying to save the world. For anyone who has read Time Rep, my influences are probably quite obvious – Douglas Adams is my absolute hero, although I can’t help but feel that comparing me to him is like comparing a leftover Chinese takeaway with a stubbed-out cigarette in it to a seven-course Michelin-starred meal.

Although Google Books can be read on over 80 compatible devices, according to a post on the Google Blog, one of the main advantages of the iRiver is the ability to browse, buy and read Google ebooks directly on the device rather than having to download to your computer and then transfer your ebooks to your chosen device.
