Barrow Fiend Launch Day is HERE!
It’s here guys, it’s really here! Barrow Fiend just dropped, though if you’re on the mailing list you should already have your advance copy on board. Go grab it if you loved Dream Stalker, or if you haven’t read that…. GO GET IT FREE! That’s right, for a VERY limited time, there’s a free promo running on Dream Stalker, the first book in the series. It won’t last long, so snap it up while it’s available.
What else has been happening? Well, I’m almost up to the final climax in book three, which is so far called Truth Taker. I’m trying to come up with a better title with ‘blood’ or ‘blooded’, in the same two-word style of the others. The story revolves around family, caste and illegal fighting rings run using slaves. If you have a suggestion, you can shoot it through to my new email address, amyhopkins [at] thespellscribe.com or holler me on twitter (@spellscribe). If I use it, you’ll get a mention in the book, along with my undying gratitude!
In non-Talented news, I’m starting to think about a new series. Don’t worry, Emma and the crew will be around for a while longer and if there’s call for it, I already have an idea for a spin-off series focusing on a much-loved character I’d love to explore a little more. However, I’ve got a few ideas in mind, including a steampunk assassin and a MacGuyer-in-Tomorrowland style of SF. What would you guys like to read? Hit me with some ideas!
Speaking of reading, I’ve been super busy but have recently finished The Aeronauts Windlass by Butcher and I utterly loved it. The final battle had me squealing into a cushion so I wouldn’t wake the family. I’m now part-way through The Genetic Imperative, an excellent SF with what I feel like has a similar feel to my own writing, with characters who are just really complex but at their heart, good people. I’ll review both books as soon as I get a chance. Finally, not quite on my official book list but I did flit through the last few chapters of The Little Princess after finding it in a second hand bookshop. It’s one of my old favourites and I couldn’t resist going through that feelings-filled ending
