'The Will of the Many' releases today!
Hey everyone,
It's finally here! Feels a little surreal after being in the works for so long, but The Will of the Many launches today, May 23rd. I'm incredibly excited for everyone to read it.
First off, to anyone who's already pre-ordered or is intending to pick it up shortly, thank you - sincerely - early sales are a big deal, and I can't overstate how much I appreciate the trust you're placing in me as an author.
Secondly, for those interested, I had a couple of spoiler-free chats about The Will of the Many, Licanius, and writing in general last week. Links to the YouTube videos below!

And if you've been waiting on more reviews for The Will of the Many, there's now a reasonable sample size up here on Goodreads - and no doubt plenty more to come in over the next few days.
Finally, some requisite links if you'd like to pick up a copy:
Amazon
B & N
Audible
(Though naturally, if you have the opportunity to pick it up at your local bookstore instead, please support them by doing so!)
Before I go, a quick update on the sequel - my second draft of The Strength of the Few is at about 90k words (which is a bit over 1/3rd complete), and it's shaping up nicely. I'm confident that it's on track for publication in 2024.
And that's about it from me! As always, thanks so much for reading. I hope to see you all enjoying The Will of the Many very soon!
All my best,
- James

The Will of the Many - Deluxe Edition Announced
Hey everyone,
A deluxe edition of The Will of the Many has officially been revealed! It has new cover art from the immensely talented Jaime Jones (that I'm absolutely thrilled with, incidentally), as well as gold sprayed edges, full colour map end pages, and a foil stamp design on the hardcover case. Plus it will come with some newly added written material...
It's out Nov 19 - if you're interested in preordering (or just want to check out the new cover), you can see it at Amazon or Barnes & Noble.
Also, as a very minor progress report while I'm here - I haven't received edits back for The Strength of the Few, yet, but in the meantime I've been making a start on Hierarchy #3. Early days, obviously, but it's going well - I'll talk more about that in September's website update.

The Will of the Many: Deluxe is out today!
Hey everyone,
Just a quick reminder / heads up for those interested - The Will of the Many: Deluxe is out today! I have my copy already and I'm very, very pleased with how nicely this version turned out.
If you're the US, you can find it at bookstores, or at Barnes & Noble or Amazon.
If you live internationally, the best place to find a copy is The Broken Binding. These international copies are also signed!
Finally, for those wondering - I will post an update in about a month regarding progress for The Strength of the Few - but sufficed to say, nothing new to report right now!
