The Long Road to The High King’s Vengeance Starts Here!

The best thing about Heir To The North (apart from all the other things, of course!) is that the story doesn’t end there. Baum’s quest is completed, he has won, Malessar’s Curse has been broken, and now Cassia can see the enormity of what she has done. So, what’s next? That’s what all the cool … Continue reading The Long Road to The High King’s Vengeance Starts Here!

Voice of the North!

It’s been a bit quiet over here recently. But, much like an iceberg, there’s plenty of frantic paddling beneath the surface. No, wait, that’s ducks…. 90% of a duck is under the surface… or summat…. Anyway. Here’s some news that you might already know! Heir To The North, which is slowly gathering praise all across … Continue reading Voice of the North!

“Not much of a go-getter”: the 2015 round-up post

It’s that time of the year again, when I look back at my mother-in-law’s tired and less than complimentary put-down¹ and measure myself against it. Well, nothing very memorable happened in 2015, did it? Apart from (and with no apologies for beating my own drum here): Fox Spirit Books published That Sinking Feeling in the Fox … Continue reading “Not much of a go-getter”: the 2015 round-up post

Star Wars – The Force Awakens: A Few Thoughts

We have Star Wars’d. After the disappointing experience of watching Attack of the Clones at the Showroom when it came out (CGI Yoda leaping in the air like Nureyev on speed threw us out of the movie, with Rachel dissolving in fits of giggles as the rest of the audience glared), I didn’t bother with … Continue reading Star Wars – The Force Awakens: A Few Thoughts

Sledge-Lit: The Final Chopper On Tour 2015 Post!

It’s been a long year, and it isn’t quite over yet. But the Chopper On Tour tag is bedding down for hibernation through the winter, after one last hurrah at Derby’s Sledge-Lit event. And what a hurrah it was! Sledge-Lit turned out to be a very good way to wind down. Alex Davis had done … Continue reading Sledge-Lit: The Final Chopper On Tour 2015 Post!

Heir To The North: Words Just In…

It’s been out in the public gaze for two weeks now, so what do people think of it so far? Here’s something of a round-up… If you haven’t got the paperback (or the spiffy bookmark Ken Dawson put together for Fantasycon), you might have missed Teresa Edgerton’s cover quote. (And you should absolutely buy Goblin … Continue reading Heir To The North: Words Just In…

A Face for Radio…

Unaccustomed as I am to public speaking, I seem to be going the right way about it. Here’s a couple of links to pieces I’ve done in the last couple of weeks. First up, a video interview for the SciFiFantasyNetwork, filmed at Fantasycon 2015 and hosted by the urbane and wordcrafty Joel Cornah. Please ignore … Continue reading A Face for Radio…
