Doctor Who: Summer Falls
Doctor Who: Summer Falls
This book features in The Bells Of Saint John
In the seaside village of Watchcombe, young Kate is determined to make the most of her last week of summer holiday.
But when she discovers a mysterious painting entitled ‘The Lord of Winter’ in a charity shop, it leads her on an adventure she never could have planned. Kate soon realises the old seacape, painted long ago by an eccentric local artist, is actually a puzzle.
And with the help of some bizarre new acquaintances – including a museum curator’s magical cat, a miserable neighbour, and a lonely boy – she plans on solving it. And then, one morning Kate wakes up to a world changed forever. For the Lord of Winter is coming – and Kate has a very important decision to make.
Summer Falls, a book written by Amelia Williams (yeah, right), is featured at the beginning of “The Bells of St John”, being read by Artie, one of the children taken care of by Clara (as played by Jenna-Louise Coleman).
Doctor Who: Summer Falls by Amelia Williams is published by BBC Books on Thursday 4 April priced £1.99.

April 2nd, 2013 - 9:27pmAmy did publish river’s book about the angels so it’s not unlikely that she became an author
JV
May 9th, 2013 - 3:04amWell, the book she published was written by River. The only thing Amy wrote was the afterword. Afterwords don’t make authors, I think.
Rowan
September 4th, 2013 - 7:49pmBut Amy presumably enjoyed writing and was a good writer as in the episode The Power of Three she tells the doctor that she writes travel articles for magazines, so it’s fairly likely that she did become an author and write Summer Falls after the angels sent her back in time 🙂
time and relotive dimens
April 2nd, 2013 - 3:22pmthat book is in the bells of saint john

April 1st, 2013 - 8:38pmMy friend ( Who is obsessed with the Ponds), didn’t believe me when I told him this was coming out! He actually thinks its written by amy LOL
stephanie
May 8th, 2013 - 10:03amIt’s a nod. Amelia Williams IS Amy Pond.
Dominic Kane
April 1st, 2013 - 1:06pmboo boo is it an actuall book or not?
booboo
April 1st, 2013 - 1:08pmno its an ebook
Radburn
April 1st, 2013 - 7:17pmOkay now I’ve found that it’s an ebook I can cross it off my book list & won’t have to bother getting it.
Dominic Kane
April 1st, 2013 - 11:41pmwhy isn’t it a proper book?
Radburn
May 27th, 2013 - 6:28pmGood news! I have found out this is being published on 24/10/13; with The Devil In The Smoke & The Angel’s Kiss, as a selection of short stories. Available to Pre-Order from Amazon UK.
RORY DOCTOR RIVER POND
April 1st, 2013 - 12:46pmcan’t believe someone actually sat and wrote it!
Emma
March 31st, 2013 - 9:36pmSeriously, It needs to be an actual book not another e-book, I refuse to buy a kindle. What is wrong with regular book publishing anymore?
RORY DOCTOR RIVER POND
April 1st, 2013 - 12:39pmexactly.
who rules
April 1st, 2013 - 12:52pmtell me about it, really annoys me and the response from most people is “get with the times”. i actually can’t read kindles. they give me a migraine so i have no choice and it’s that lack of choice that really annoys me. I’ve collected who books since i was 9, i’m 43 this november, so you can perhaps understand why i prefer real books to emphemeral electronic data!
videogamemad00
April 2nd, 2013 - 9:48pmYes it would be logical to print is as a book and make an e-book but it is cheaper.
who rules
March 31st, 2013 - 7:10pmit’s an e-book not a paperback
Dan
March 31st, 2013 - 7:42pmAmelia Williams? Amelia Pond you mean! They kept Amy’s surname. Her grave had the same mistake on it aswell. (This is if they’re on about the same Amy.)
the man from outer space
April 1st, 2013 - 2:28amwell dan. thats wired my reall name is dan. well i think amy and rory decided they surname whould be williams. but that is kind of a betrayell to the doctor dont you think?
Robert Walker
March 31st, 2013 - 12:01pmYes 80 pages, so no more than 7-8 pages per chapter, and that’s if chapter 11 is the last one.

March 31st, 2013 - 5:59amdoes it feature Sean Bean? after all, “Winter is Coming”.
Dr Smith
March 31st, 2013 - 5:07amThe next episode comes out 2 days after the book, I think this book is going to have more plot, something like what was in “The Angel’s Kiss” when they read it in the episode
Doctor pond
March 31st, 2013 - 4:27amIs this going to be available in the United States as well?
TimeOnMyHands
March 30th, 2013 - 11:29pmWhen Matt Smith was asked to give a clue about the 50th anniversary Episode of Doctor Who By Jonathan Ross he said ‘Paintings’. I wonder if the Lord of Winter is linked at all?
GreenAnchorRedWaterfall
March 29th, 2013 - 9:17am…Amelia Williams, you make a reappearance.
the man from outer space
April 2nd, 2013 - 1:22pmawesome picture mate
Dan
March 27th, 2013 - 2:38pmLooks like it’s an ebook, not a Quick Read. Details from: http://www.deastore.com/book/doctor-who-summer-falls-amelia-williams-bbc-digital/9781448141531.html

March 26th, 2013 - 10:27pmI’m so glad they’ve done this! I love these books
Sugar doc
March 26th, 2013 - 7:24pmThis is released on intergalactic fish fingers and custard day
Mmmmmmm !!!!!
( I’m making some sweet fish fingers )
pathdw98
March 26th, 2013 - 10:39pmMay seem a silly question but how is April 4th Intergalatic fish fingers and custard day?
The Silence
March 26th, 2013 - 11:44pmIt’s April 3rd and it’s because of the debut of Matt Smith in ‘The Eleventh Hour’ where he ate fish fingers and custard, which is apparently very nice although I’ve never tried it.
Anonymous
March 27th, 2013 - 12:16amThanks for that, should have realised the date.
So it’s 3 years since I was pondering for a week whether or not I should have fish fingers and custard. I gave in. Has anyone else tried it?
TheMadManWithABox1
March 27th, 2013 - 7:18pmYes, they’re nicer then they sound
Tardis’nt
March 26th, 2013 - 6:42pmSo Amy becomes an author and her book appears in the next episode, i wonder if it is a big part of the story!?
Liam
April 1st, 2013 - 2:15pmi reckon there is more to it
drjakeyoung
March 26th, 2013 - 3:00pmit says by Amelia Williams, so i am assuming she became a book writer?
The TARDIS
March 26th, 2013 - 2:57pmWhat is it? is it like a quick read? It could be an ebook, like the Angels Kiss and the Devil in the Smoke. Also, who is it really written by?
pathdw98
March 26th, 2013 - 5:26pmIf it features in the episode I am guessing it might be written by Steven Moffat as he wrote the ep. Also going by the £1.99 price must be a quick read
the man from outer space
April 1st, 2013 - 2:32amno its a e-book
