Budapest tomorrow!

I’m off to Budapest tomorrow for a few days. Certainly to do a bit of research while I’m there (I’m sure Silver drinks Tokaji, and Irene and Kai would enjoy new locations, or at least I’d enjoy putting them through them), but also definitely to have a holiday. Book four is waiting on edits, and book five is in progress…

Incidentally, please can the people who have won a copy or copies of the audiobooks and who haven’t yet contacted me about it, kindly do so? Or you won’t get the books. And that would be a shame. The winners were:

All three audiobooks:

Gina Brown

Brandi

Eva

Just book three, The Burning Page:

Nick Watton – collected

Celtic (Gery)

Amy – collected

(Though, um, let’s be honest here – I probably won’t be emailing out any audiobook codes till I get back from holiday. But don’t let that stop you, if you’re one of the winners!)

Audiobook special offer – and prize reminder!

Amazon/Audible are doing a special first-in-a-series promotion, and The Invisible Library‘s included – though so are plenty of other good books. Check it out here:

Audiobook giveaway over

And that’s it! Midnight. No more entries, please.

Winners will be announced shortly. Thank you to everyone who took an interest.

Audiobook giveaway – get all three!

To celebrate (all right, a little belatedly) the release of The Burning Page, I’m going to do two different random audiobook giveaways here on this blog.

The first giveaway – for three lucky winners, an audiobook code from Audible for The Burning Page.

The second giveaway – for three lucky winners, audiobook codes for all three books! Yes, that’s The Invisible Library and The Masked City and The Burning Page!

Please leave an entry on this blog if you want to take part in the random giveaway, and say whether you want to be in the giveaway for just book three, or the giveaway for all three books.

Closing point will be 24.00 (midnight) UK time on Friday 10th March. I will then draw the winners at random, and post on this blog with the names of the people who’ve won.

And in the meantime, I’ll get back to working on the edits for book four, The Lost Plot…

Review of the series so far on File770

I’ve been privileged to have a review done on the whole Invisible Library series so far by J.J on File770.com (always an excellent site). Here it is:

Checking out The Invisible Library from Genevieve Cogman

Also, The Burning Page is now out on audiobook, and I will be doing a giveaway shortly. Watch this blog/space!

US release of The Burning Page!

I should probably write something witty or intelligent or deeply meaningful, but I’m too busy collapsing with a glass of Tokaji. (My excuse is that it’s something Silver would drink, and that this is therefore pure research. Excuses are wonderful things. Remind me to write Silver with a glass of it at some point in the future.)

Here is a link to the book on amazon.com.

And here’s the audio version.

Thank you, all my readers. I appreciate you taking the time to read my books, and I hope that you enjoy them.

5 days till American release of The Burning Page

I’m back from holiday and back at work again. Not that I want to be pessimistic, but it’s difficult to be wildly enthusiastic when you get back to work after the Christmas holidays in a cold grey January…

But! The Burning Page is out in America in five days, as both physical/ebook and audiobook, on the 10th January. And it’s been picked by Amazon as one of the Best Science Fiction & Fantasy Books of the Month for January. It’s also on Barnes & Noble’s Bookseller’s Picks: The Best Science Fiction and Fantasy Books of January 2017. This is absolutely fantastic!

… I do hope people like it. (Yes, I know. Authors. Shy little paranoid flowers.)

And I seem to have made Omni’s list of Best Emerging Fantasy Authors of 2016, which is really, really fantastic. (And in such good company!)

Happy holidays to everyone!

I’m about to head down to visit my family for Christmas. Happy holidays to everyone, however you celebrate them, and may we all have a happy new year.

Upcoming items of interest: The Burning Page will be out in America shortly, and also will be out in audiobook format. In both cases it comes out on the 10th of January…

The Burning Page now released!

The Burning Page has now been turned loose on the world. This eldritch tome contains the inner world-shattering mind-fragmenting secrets of gods and demons… no, wait, that’s the Book of Ebon Bindings, which is an entirely different setting and cosmology.

(I do have a different non-Irene setting in mind which involves hermetic magic, demons, and cats, but that’s an entirely different book, and I need another 24 hours in every day if I’m to write it. Maybe once the Library series comes to a pause…)

Thank you to everyone who has bought it, who will buy it, who is thinking of buying it – you get the idea. And if you read it and like it, then a review would be a very nice Christmas present for this author.

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to everyone. May your libraries prosper, may your bookshelves always flourish, and may your daydreams be enjoyable.
