EPISODE ONE OF THE MULTI-PART TIPTON SAGA IS NOW AVAILABLE... EPIC... LET ME EXPLAIN.
Hello I am Philip Davidson, author of the multi-part Tipton Saga, and I want
to tell you why I believe this to be EPIC
My Father & The Tipton Saga
In his day my father was a prestigious best-selling author, and three times winner of the coveted crime writers Gold Dagger award, amongst others. His unique books can be viewed at www.LionelDavidson.com Inexplicably he hated writing books, but loved telling stories. These stories were so enchanting, and he told me them as bedtime stories. Banging away at the typewriter though, while writing a book, this was a different story. He was stressed, overworked, and constantly getting ill. I’ve never known anyone have so many illnesses as my old dad. I vowed never ever ever ever to write a book as it seemed a highly disagreeable occupation. However …
Some years after my father had passed away, I had written a film script that I considered had had many innovative attributes that I did not want to get ripped off. I decided to transcribe the script into book form which I reckoned it would take up to five weeks. Five years and three books later it was still not finished!. I call that an EPIC WAKEUP! There is far more… When I reached the end of the the third book I discovered a strand that I felt was so rare and vast that I needed to rewrite all three books because of it. This strand only starts being revealed at the end of the first book which makes the series evolve into an EPIC FANTASY (something to look forward to.)
Now the first book (Birth of the Tiptons) is finally out I have been humbled by how good the reviews of it are. Bit overwhelmed actually Gripping’ is a word I like, especially when it is applied to my book. It is a used a quite often in the reviews along with ‘compelling’ , ‘page-turner’. Ah music, music! Please check it out.

BRIEF SYNOPSIS OF 'BIRTH OF THE TIPTONS'
Many people describe this book as a merging of the history and fantasy genres. It does have some true history, and I hope you enjoy it, but personally I would describe it as a merging of history, and alternative history. History that could be – I do not want to reveal too much here and let you discover
Birth of the Tiptons follows thelives of the first generation of the Tipton family, from 1810 to 1850. The twin Tipton boys grow up in a Black Country orphanage and see the industrial revolution taking shape. However it appears an external force is pulling the strings on the boys. Not one force, but two, and this is because of their highly unusual parentage which they are initially unaware of.
In adulthood one brother joins the East India Company, the other a large industrial ironworks. They have a fallout and a near fatal fight in the half built Crystal Palace in Hyde Park, but they come together for Georges application to the Great Exhibition of 1851. After a brush with royalty it becomes necessary to escape to the new world and lay low for five generations as the enormity of the of their task is revealed.
Part two (coming soon) concern the two Tipton women who have to carry out this task.
