Project Updates: September 21

I haven’t done that much blogging on the blog here. You can blame Twitter, which allows me to pump my news in bite-sized candies rather than full-sized bars. You can also blame the fact that I’ve been pretty busy.

How busy?

Well, in an effort to try to keep things up-to-date hereabouts, at least in terms of books, I give you the Ghosts of my Projects Past, Present, and Future!

Projects Past

I’ve had three books come out this year, with a fourth about to drop:

Iceborn (Audible), the sequel to my fantasy Seaborn , arrives on 30 September.

As for Seaborn itself, fans will be pleased to hear it’s being prepped for an ebook release, as well as a print-on-demand version. So happy to see this happening!

The other three books that have already hit the shelves are:

1066: A Guide to the Battles and the Campaigns (with Kelly DeVries) (Pen and Sword). Never Greater Slaughter: Brunanburh and the Birth of England (Osprey). Of Knyghthode and Bataile (co-edited with Trevor Russell Smith) (Medieval Institute Publications).Projects Present

What comes next? Well, at the moment I’m working on three books more or less simultaneously:

Crécy: The Battle of Five Kings (Osprey): a follow-up to this year’s best-selling popular history book, Never Greater Slaughter. Stormborn (Audible): Book 3 of the Seaborn Cycle. Like the others in this fantasy series, Stormborn will be initially exclusive to Audible.Codename: “Fantasy History Project”: an unannounced book about which I cannot speak but I. Can’t. Believe. It’s. Happening.Projects FutureCodename: “Crécy Sequel History Project”: a follow-up to Crécy that just went under contract. Should be announced soon.Codename: “Time Novel Project”: a genre-bending alternate history novel that I adore.Codename: “Greece History Project”: an amazing popular history book I’m writing with a friend and colleague.

And as always there are lots of articles (mostly academic), talks (also mostly academic), and the ongoing adventures of being the best father and husband I can be.

Speaking of which, back to work so I can get home soon!
