Following on from the review of Battlemage over at SFF World by Mark Chitty, he also did a long interview with me about my début novel, world building, my influences and all sorts of things.

Some interviews and things
So recently I’ve been asked to do a few interviews on some SFF blogs and website. People all over the world are starting to discover Battlemage, and alongside reviews it’s nice to get a bit more info from the author and try to work out what the heck was going on his brain when heContinue reading “Some interviews and things”
Battlemage launch
Last week was the northern launch of Battlemage at Waterstones in Leeds, my local bookshop. It was a weird and wonderful night. Weird because I’ve gone to so many similar events in the past, sat in the audience, and listened to an author talk about their book and their world. So when I arrived andContinue reading “Battlemage launch”
Battlemage in the wild
Battlemage comes out in a couple of days, but already a number of stores have copies available and on sale. I’ve been to my local Waterstones in Leeds and I saw it on the shelf which was weird and cool and exciting and scary. A friend in York has mentioned it’s on sale thereContinue reading “Battlemage in the wild”
The calm before the storm
Battlemage is officially published next week and at the moment I’m spending a fair bit of time reflecting. Not only looking ahead to what is about to happen with my first launch event at Waterstones in Leeds, and London the week after, but I’m also looking backwards into the past. I was going to writeContinue reading “The calm before the storm”

My Experience at Nine Worlds 2015
This was the second year I’ve attended the Nine Worlds Geekfest in London. The event is only in its third year so it is still a relatively new event compared to some. Even so I think it is leaps and bounds ahead of others in terms of it being the most inclusive and open eventContinue reading “My Experience at Nine Worlds 2015”

Podcasting Legends
I’m giving that title to someone else, not me, namely Scott Grandison, my partner in crime on our podcast of eight years last week, Comic Book Outsiders. When we started podcasting we had a sign at comic book conventions on our table that said – Ask us about podcasting! Several times an hour, people cameContinue reading “Podcasting Legends”
