Heir To The North: Cover Reveal!
It’s here! If you need a reminder, here’s the deal: The Warlock Malessar destroyed Caenthell centuries ago, murdering the High King Jedrell and his bride, and cursing the land itself. Since that time, the mountain kingdom has become little more than a dark legend, and the bloodline of the High Kings has been lost. Until […]

Announcement of imminent Announcement!
I have news! The news is that there will be fresh news next weekend! Yes, I am announcing the announcement of an announcement. It may have something to do with a book cover. What book cover, you may ask. Perhaps it is this one? No, it is not that one. Bloody good cover though. Add […]

Fox Bites, Socials, and beyond…
This afternoon I popped down to Leicester for the inaugural Fox Bites event. Set up by Adele Wearing, the Auntie Fox of Fox Spirit Books, it’s an open mic event for writers and a chance for like-minded, book-loving people to get together and chat and get to know each other. You might be thinking that […]

Feeling Social
This month has been a blast: we started the ball rolling on the SFSF Social, and I put my bum in the chair, donned the Writing Mittens, and started carving Project:TFL into shape. Oh, and there’s cover art for Heir to the North coming soon too! I’ve seen it; it looks superb. Meanwhile, speaking of […]

Heir to the North update….
Just a quickie this time. HTTN is still taking final published shape – with rather lovely cover art that will be revealed soon! – but now you can add it to your TBR pile on Goodreads, and that is a very good thing indeed! Click this way folks, for there is a blurb to be […]

Reasons to be Cheerful – 2014 edition
Granted, there aren’t all that many reasons to be cheerful, looking back at the mess the world made of 2014.¹ But on a personal level, it’s been pretty stellar. The year has built and built like an over-extended Zarathustran overture. I can’t guarantee obelisks, but we’re definitely leaving the under-developed grunters behind… Anyway, what have I got to […]

All Quiet on the Northern Front…
…but that doesn’t mean there’s nothing happening. We’re into the Long Wait (available on request from all good shops, of course) that inevitably happens at this point of the publishing process, but HTTN is still on schedule. That means it’s time for other projects to take precedence. ED5, for example. The Empire Dance is getting […]
