I’m back from my summer holiday and, as I knew would happen, there’s a lot coming up for in the next few months.
First of all, the special limited edition hardback versions of The Coward and The Warrior. These have been printed and recently I spent most of a day at the fulfilment centre signing the 500 copies of each. Here’s the great wall of each and a signed palette of The Coward. There is a limited number still available. As of writing there are about 40 left. The sets are available to purchase now from The Broken Binding website.
The link also shows you what the books look like without the dust jackets. The books are super fancy, sprayed edges with artwork on the pages, ribbon bookmark, foils, the whole nine yards. (Click to embiggin the photos)





The Warrior – Paperback Launch Event
The launch of paperback edition of The Warrior is happening on Tuesday 9th August at 5.30pm in Birmingham at Forbidden Planet.
Thereafter, signed copies will be available from Forbidden Planet and The Broken Binding, with the latter shipping books worldwide.
So if you are not able to attend the event in person, you can still get a signed copy.
