Firstly, thanks to everyone who turned up at the signing on the 14th, which went very well indeed. Still waiting on a signing down south. I think Tor are seeing what I can link up with.
Speaking of Tor, they've put in place a nice new feature of their publicity — authors' A to Zs — rather than bumble about explaining what […]
Was my first thought when I got a big ol' box of The Scarab Path from Tor UK this week. Yes, I did write it, but I had no idea it would be so enormous in print. Anyone who felt they were missing some pages from Blood of the Mantis will find them in Scarab Path (1).
And I owe a huge debt […]
Yes, yes, not been posting much recently, but busy with the book, don'tcherknow. Or books, to be precise. Book 5 (The Scarab Path), which has been running a bit late, has finally been packed off, and I won't see it again until it's actually in print (release date start August). Book 6 (The Sea Watch) has come back […]

Dragonfly Falling (un)original Soundtrack
Track 1 — The Wasps come to Tark (The Blitz, from The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe by […]
Another Babel Clash entry here following on from an intriguing story I read by George RR Martin.
Another rant on Borders' site to be found here.
As noted, this week (and next week) I'm blogging for the Borders SF blog, Babel Clash, tag teaming it with George Man, of Affinity Bridge fame.
My first piece is up under the above title, and you can find it here.
1. The Polish language book 2 is out, entitled Kleska Wazki (1), or at least I've got my copies through, so it should be out soon. The title is a straight translation of Dragonfly Falling and Jon Sullivan's UK art is on the cover.
2. The German language books are also out, and I think we have threevolumes hitting the […]
As most of the recent stories have been, this is another sequel. In this case it's the sequel to The Sun of the Morning, and unlike Rooftop Lovers or The Price of Salt it follows very closely on. The explots of Captain Mornen and his company are intended to form something almost like a novella (and […]
…is what I shall be at on the 1st of May.
Check out the websie here. I'm down for:
1.00pm — coffee klatch — come and meet the author (1)
2.15pm — panel: the 30 second commute — how the electronic age will make everything and everyone obsolete.
Please do come over and see me, or indeed such luminaries as China Mieville […]
