Blurb
Kaivon, the last Persian General, is celebrating as Hulagu Khan’s dream of conquering the whole world lies in tatters. But the fight is not yet done, as Persia is still occupied by Mongol invaders.
Betrayed by his cousin in the north, Hulagu must strike back at the Golden Horde, weakening the Mongol Empire even further with another civil war.
Temujin, the youngest son of Hulagu, has developed abilities that can destroy a city’s walls in a heartbeat. Unwilling to trust his father with something so powerful, he abandons the Empire. Recruited by others like him, Temujin seeks to restore balance to the world, whilst learning more about what he has become.
Kokochin is the newest member of a secret society that protects Persia. She has found her purpose, but her double life has been exposed. Now, she must find a way to escape the clutches of Empress, who seeks to use Kokochin’s abilities to further their husband’s plans of conquest.
Deep within the Empire, a new threat is rising. One so dangerous that it could overshadow the legacy of Genghis Khan and change the world.

Black Friday Sales
The Broken Binding are having a huge black Friday sale. As part of it, they are selling off their remaining copies of the special hardback edition of The Judas Blossom. First come, first served, and once the remaining stock are gone, that’s it. There are not that many left, so if you didn’t pick one up before, get on it ASAP here.
There are, of course, lots of other special editions on sale for silly prices.
Also, in the normal store, where they sell ‘normal’ paperbacks and hardbacks, they have lots on sale, which include, The Warrior, Magefall and Magebane. This also depends on what they have in stock.

Judas update
It's going to be a new world, new series, new everything. I have a map. I have non human races. I have a plan. I'm going to pitch 2 books to my agent and then hopefully the publisher.
However, I'm also going to be self publishing something as well, in parallel with my trad books. Watch this space, or rather, my newsletter, which is the best place to stay up to date and often ahead on my book news.

Battlemage Birthday
Today, the kindle edition of Battlemage (in the UK only sadly) is currently on sale for £2.99. Again, no idea when it will end, Amazon do their own thing.
https://www.amazon.co.uk/Battlemage-A...
It is the start of a trilogy, the Age of Darkness, then I wrote a prequel novella to everything, then a sequel trilogy set 10 years after the first trilogy. Plenty of stuff set in the same world. I have idea for other books set in the same world, but we never got there. Maybe one day.
The full story of how I found a literary agent and then got published is on my website for those interested.

Moving to a Newsletter
With the likely death of Twitter, and because I should have done it a long time ago, I am squishing all my different news sources into one to make it easier to share information. I also created an account on Blue Sky, so will be chatting on there as usual, but in the meantime….
I’m starting a monthly newsletter. You can subscribe via the link below
To stay up to date on the latest news about my fantasy novels, events and interviews you can subscribe to my monthly newsletter.
SUBSCRIBEThe rest of the website will be updated with information about my books, but I won’t post here often.
The newsletter will be monthly and when something pops up, or there’s exciting news, I will send out additional posts, but it will not be all the time. I also get a lot of newsletters and don’t read some of them, because they send emails every day or every week. It’s just too much and in the end I just unsubscribe. So I’ll stick to monthly, or if it is time sensitive or exciting, more often than that.
The newsletter will be focused on what’s going on with my books, progress updates, events, updates on my self published work in progress, interview links and information about special editions.
My YouTube channel has information on writing advice, author interviews and so on.
