"GONNA REC IT!" as seen in Ralph II where the destructuve anti-hero takes up a quiet post in a library and guides people towards appropriate reading material. Anyway, I am up to my eyeballs but want to get some book recs out there before I, hopefully, get the Clarkes shortlist written up (which, owing to a mountainous reading pile, […]
Which is to say that I have some book recs but they're some of them ARCs so some of these won't be out for a while. Usual apologies for the long paws, as Rex would say. My fairly decent excuse is that I have finally delivered (delivered three separate times in fact (1)) the MS for my sequel […]
Very brief post to say: I have release dates for both of my novels coming out next year. Huzzah, I say. Guns of the Dawn, my sort-of-Napoleonic/Regency fantasy, is being released on Thursday the 12th of February, and for the first time ever I will be in Forbidden Planet on the evening of that very day, signing books […]

Barnes and Noble have set out their picks for September, each of which will get a going over on their site over the next few days. 9th September is Empire in Black and Gold. Some impressive company I'm keeping, too: Martin, Erikson, Sanderson, Abercrombie, Rothfuss […]
Latest news from the world of the insect-kinden: Firstly, I will be at Fantasycon 2011 this year (1) and I've been asked to sit on a panel on Trends in Fantasy Fiction, 10am Saturday. I will hopefully be essaying a reading too, as the five people who came to the last one at Alt Fiction seemed to enjoy it […]
A new picture has gone up in the Art section, this by the very talented Daisy Abbott. The digital people at Macmillan are just setting up an email for the site, but thereafter I will be taking submissions for further book-based art, so any artists, or friends of artists, out there, watch this space. In other news, […]
