This will be a short blog post to emphasize the importance of taking a short creative break from time to time. Yesterday I finished part 2 of the book I’m writing and started part 3. The words had been flowing smoothly and then I stopped. I titled my new chapter “What happens next?”, and I…
So this post is just going to serve as a how things are going and what to expect from me in the near future. Because I’m writing… A LOT! All my books are now back under my control. I am once again completely self published! I feel there should be some fireworks here. OK, I…
Where to start with this book? For those familiar with Robin Hobb’s Fitz books, this will need no introduction. It’s the 3rd series of books featuring our boy Fitz, and the emotional rollercoster he keeps dragging us on. For anyone not familiar with the character, you should really go back and read Assassin’s Apprentice… and…
Arm of the Sphinx is the 2nd book in Josiah Bancroft’s Books of Babel series, following fairly directly from Senlin Ascends. Our main character, still very much on the hunt for his missing wife (now absent for over a year), is no longer the uptight Niles Crane he once was; his adventures have changed…
First things first. I was given an Advance Reader Copy of Faithless in exchange for an honest review. I’m very grateful to Graham for allowing me to read his book before it has released. Faithless follows along behind two protagonists, Wynn and Kharios, as they struggle through life in a giant colonised mine, as well…
It’s May 25th 2017 and I have a new book releasing tomorrow. WHERE LOYALTIES LIE(WLL) is finally releasing. You can even order your copy here. This post is a short history of exactly why it has taken so long for me to get the follow up to The Ties that Bind (TTtB) out there. I’m no…
Reviewing this one without letting out squeals of delight might be a bit difficult. Yeah, I loved it. So Senlin Ascends (Or Niles Crane’s vertical adventure) is about a small town headmaster who falls in love, marries the woman of his dreams, and takes her on a romantic honeymoon to a mythical tower said to…
Some of you may remember that back in January I posted a blog about how my piratical books were stuck in a publishing limbo. No? Well here’s a link to the blog. The TL;DR version is my old publisher put delay upon delay on WHERE LOYALTIES LIE and also gave an unfinished version of the manuscript…
This was an interesting one! The general premise is that madness (delusions) become real. Belief shapes reality. So if someone believes they can control fire… they CAN control fire. If someone believes there are multiple aspects of themselves walking around… there ARE multiple aspects of them walking around. If a group of people believe a…
So The Guns of Ivrea is set in a small watery section of a fantasy world where the one faith (very like Christianity in many ways) has seen the old gods all but extinguished, and has sold prejudice against merfolk to the masses. The book follows Acquel, trainee monk with a side helping of bland;…
