2021 in Review

Well. It’s certainly been a year. I’m not sure I can say anything about the global state of affairs that hasn’t been said by others a hundred times over already, so I’ll stick with the personal side of things. Bookselling: I had two books come out this year! The mass market paperback edition of Stormblood... Continue Reading →

BLINDSPACE is Out!

After nearly three years of hard labour, BLINDSPACE, the second book in the Common trilogy, has been unleashed on the public! It feels like an age since August 2018, when I started outlining and developing the book’s narrative. Things have rapidly changed and divulged since then, and for the better, and I’m incredibly happy with... Continue Reading →

BLINDSPACE Hardback Available at Goldsboro

At last, it can be announced! The fabulous Goldsboro books are doing a special, limited hardback run of BLINDSPACE, just as they did with STORMBLOOD, with fabulous dark-purple sprayed edges.

BLINDSPACE FAQ

With Blindspace’s release on the horizon, I thought I’d answer a few questions that I’ve been getting every so often . . . When is the release date? At this point, November 25. But it’s possible that could change to very early next year. But soon. Very soon. How many pages is it? A whopping... Continue Reading →

Blindspace Progress Update

It’s been a while since I punched one of these out. My excuse being that I’ve been working flat out to deliver copyedits for Blindspace, Book #2 in the Common series. Strange to think that a three-year project (I outlined the book back in August 2018) has almost wrapped up. I won’t lie; writing this... Continue Reading →

Shapers of Worlds Part II Anthology needs YOU on Kickstarter

While I’m primary writing (and known for) my long-form science-fiction, I’m still actively writing short stories, should a kind and generous editor get in touch with me. The Shapers of Worlds Part II anthology is one such anthology that I’m part of this year. It contains a story set outside of the Common universe, and... Continue Reading →

Getting signed books at the Broken Binding and Galaxy Bookstore!

I sign as many copies of my book as I can. Unfortunately, that usually extends to bookstores in my local area, or stores that I can visit physically. In some circumstances, I’ve been able to send off signed bookplates to bookstores to be glued into the books. Jeff Bezos has enough money, so I’m very... Continue Reading →

STORMBLOOD short story prequel available

I don’t have much time for short fiction lately. But in the Before Times, in mid 2019, me and Ian Whates spoke about me contributing a short story to an anthology about future London he was putting together. That story ended up being not so short, at 13,000 words (my longest published piece of short... Continue Reading →

BLINDSPACE Update (Cover and release delay)

I’m not much of a blogger. Never been one for talking about how I’m going to do something; I’d rather just go ahead and do it. But I’ve been on holiday for the past few days and I’m itching to get back at the keyboard, and thought I should do a little update. The bad... Continue Reading →
