More Jalan & Snorri!

I've released a 25,000 word novella called The New World. This is a sequel to the original trilogy but can also be read as a standalone introduction to the characters by people who've never read the originals.



It's a bunch of fun in which our unwilling hero is dragged off to America!

It starts thusly:

“A nun?”

“Well.” I tried my penitent face. Despite all that practice, I still wasn’t very good at it. “Nuns.”

“Nuns!” Omar threw up his hands. “You said it was just the once!”

“It was!” I fiddled with the sleeves of my cassock. “Just once. I swear it . . . Only with more than one nun.”

10th Anniversary Prince of Thorns

So, the 1,000 (+52) copies of the Broken Binding UK-based 10th anniversary edition of Prince of Thorns sold out...

BUT! There are still 86 of the 750 (+52) copies of the super delux US-based 10th anniversary edition of Prince of Thorns from Grim Oak Press.

https://grimoakpress.com/collections/...

This is a leatherbound marvel with full colour internal art by the original cover artis - Jason Chan. Every copy is signed by me and JC.

So, grab one now before they go. Once the UK edition got below 100 copies, they didn't last long!

10th Anniversary Prince of Thorns

16 out of 1,000 copies of Broken Binding's signed and numbered 10th anniversary special edition remain.

People will complain that they weren't told. That they missed their chance. Those people have no excuse :D
