As many in fandom will be aware, Scream Street creator, Doctor Who author and all round lovely guy, Tommy Donbavand, has been diagnosed with cancer and is currently recovering from a series of painful and unpleasant treatments as he battles to kick this horrible, horrible disease into touch. If you follow Tommy's blog (http://www.tommyvcancer.com/) you'll know that one of the worst things he has to face, in addition to the physical and mental pain, is the inability to write and visit schools - a major part of the income he and his family rely on to live.

Obviously there are a lot of things we can all do to support Tommy - sign up to his Patreon, buy his books, or just let him know that we're thinking of him - but we (Paul Magrs and I) thought it might be a more immediately helpful idea to put together a Doctor Who short story collection, with all the profits going to help Tommy in what really is his hour of need.

And, due to the kindness and commitment of a plethora of authors, that’s what we’ve done. A Target for Tommy seemed the perfect title for a book where anything Who-ish goes - any Doctor, any companion, any sort of story – even monsterish and spooky stories with no Doctor at all…

Tommy’s one of our own – and right at this moment he could do with a wee help…

Pre-orders for the paperback are available here:
