Yesterday one of my favourite genre websites, Fantasy Faction, did an exclusive cover reveal for the final book in my Night’s Masque trilogy. However I can’t resist posting it on my blog as well, as I’m so pleased with it! As with The Merchant of Dreams, I briefed my editor Marc on what I wanted  Continue Reading »

Earlier this year I released desktop wallpapers of the lovely Alchemist of Souls cover art by Larry Rostant, and they proved rather popular.

This is a great thing for both authors and readers, since there are a lot of fantasy  Continue Reading »

To mark the upcoming release of his latest adventures, Elizabethan spy Mal Catlyn will once more be tweeting his exploits for the next three months. Why, you might ask, would a spy be broadcasting his whereabouts on a public network? Well… He could well be using one of the many cunning ciphers that were invented by  Continue Reading »

Back when I was writing the pre-submission draft of The Alchemist of Souls, I rashly promised myself that if I ever sold the book, as a memento I’d get a copy done of the tattoo Mal is given during the course of the story. It felt particularly appropriate since Ambassador Kiiren says that it’s “for  Continue Reading »

Last week, the first chapter of my forthcoming novel The Merchant of Dreams premiered on Staffer’s Musings. In case you missed it, or more to the point would like to read it offline, I’m posting it here as various downloadable formats. No doubt there will be a longer excerpt available in a few months, just  Continue Reading »

June is Audiobook Month, so I’m delighted to be able to contribute with my own slice of aural entertainment. You can now wrap your lugholes around the adventures of Mal, Coby and friends with the latest co-production between Angry Robot Books and Brilliance Audio. Read by Michael Page, award-winning narrator of Scott Lynch’s The Lies of Locke  Continue Reading »
