​​Cwej: Down the Middle, A New Anthology from the Universes of Doctor Who
December 20th, 2019
Elkhart, Indiana

Since his introduction in a 1995 Doctor Who novel, Chris Cwej has become a beloved character in stories of all kinds. Now Arcbeatle Press is bringing him back with an all new fiction anthology: Cwej: Down the Middle, from editor Hunter O’Connell.
“Philosophically complex and motivated by truth, Chris has gone through trials and tribulations greater than many other companions, which is why I find this book such a passion project for me.” O’Connell has brought together a team of well known and new writers, including Cwej creator Andy Lane (Doctor Who), Simon Bucher-Jones (Doctor Who), Jeffrey Koval (EverymanHYBRID), Rachel Redhead (Faction Paradox), and James Wylder (WARS). 
Readers will also get to look forward to appearances from a few others: Iris Wildthyme, The Quoth, the Cyberons, Judy Collins, Praxis, and elements from the 10,000 Dawns series also appear. “There’s stories in here that will thrill you, move you, and challenge your expectations,” publisher James Wylder said.
Down the Middle will be Arcbeatle Press’ first book of adventures for Chris Cwej, but it won’t be the last, with more on the way.
“Please, check it out, and enjoy these stories of virtual gay innuendos, a teddy bear leading a cult, the Democratic primaries being done over, mushrooms, particle colliders being overrun with intelligent well-dressed weasels, alternate Earths, unlimited fun, and salt in cola. Cwej, along with his friends Larles and Kwol, will face all of this and more!" O’Connell said.
Cwej: Down the Middle will be available from Arcbeatle Press in late 2020.

Other writers in the collection include:
Hunter O'Connell, Sam Maleski, Matthew Sychantha, Charles Whitt, James Hornby, Greg Maughan, Michael Robertson, Vince Stadon, Evan Forman, Gerard Power, Tycho McPhee Letts

Bri Crozier, Mia Ashford-John, Brian Gorman, Emmeryn Telemain Reed, Callum and Stuart Brown, Dawn Rushim, Derek Dodebier, Newt Griffin, and Johannes Chazot
