Judas Blossom Exclusive Reading

I recently went to Chicago for Capricon43, my first American convention as an author. Whilst there, I had a reading slot and did an exclusive reading from Chapter 1 of The Judas Blossom which comes out this July from Angry Robot books. A friend recorded it on the day and I can now share itContinue reading “Judas Blossom Exclusive Reading”

January 2023 roundup

Halfway through January already and busy again. Lots of stuff going on. Books The Judas Blossom (Book 1 of 3 in The Nightingale and The Falcon trilogy) has gone through the copy edits. Very soon it will be going out super early to people for cover quotes. I’ve still got the proofread stage to doContinue reading “January 2023 roundup”

September Events Report

Fantasycon is done and dusted but since then I’ve done another one day event. Below is a quick round-up of both. At Fantasycon in a Heathrow hotel, I had a chance to hang out with lots of authors I normally only speak to online which was a lot of fun. There are far too manyContinue reading “September Events Report”

July Roundup

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.

These have been printed and recently I spent most of a day at the fulfilment centre signingContinue reading “July Roundup”

Authors Talking About Writing

Given that there are no conventions at the moment, a lot of stuff is moving online. I miss talking to authors about writing, characters, world-building and so on. With that in mind I’m going to do a late night talk with Angus Watson on Tuesday 15th September. If this one goes well I might doContinue reading “Authors Talking About Writing”

Conventions during lockdown

Because all of the conventions have been cancelled during lockdown, a lot more are going online. I’ve already been involved in one, called CONtagion. A SFF convention and also meeting space on Facebook, which has links to panels, workshops, readings, blog posts and all sorts to keep you busy. I moderated a panel about writingContinue reading “Conventions during lockdown”

March Progress Report

Hello. I’ve been a bit quiet on here over the last couple of months, mostly because I’ve been so busy, and somehow it’s March already. So I thought a quick update report was due. There’s a lot of stuff I can’t talk about yet, which is the other reason I’ve not posted in a while.Continue reading “March Progress Report”

Flux on Kickstarter

Flux, a SF thriller, is a comic book mini series that I have been working on for years. Most of the time, when writing a novel, you’re doing it on your own. Other people get involved later in the process (agent, editor, copywriter etc), but with comics it’s totally different. It’s a joint effort almostContinue reading “Flux on Kickstarter”
