February worklog

I thought I would do a quick post about what I’m up to at the moment on various things. So, book 2, Bloodmage, is completely done and dusted. My publisher, Orbit books, has just sent me the latest version of the cover and I think it looks really good. So that is all set toContinue reading “February worklog”

Battlemage heads to France

In March this year Battlemage comes out in France from my French publisher, Bragelonne. It joins the ranks alongside versions from Orbit and Piper in Germany. Battlemage is currently available in the UK, USA and lots of other countries around the world in English, but very soon it will also be appearing on French shores.Continue reading “Battlemage heads to France”

Wailing Heights

I can finally reveal a little bit more information about another of the secret writing projects I’ve been involved with. I recently had the pleasure of working with Outsider Games, on their latest project – Wailing Heights. It was a real challenge for me, bringing humour to the content. It was very different to whatContinue reading “Wailing Heights”

First Bloodmage event of 2016

It’s now only a few months until Bloodmage comes out in April and I’ve already got one event booked. There will be a couple of signing events to mark the publication of Bloodmage and as soon as they’re sorted I’ll post the dates and details on the events page. They will likely be around theContinue reading “First Bloodmage event of 2016”

Looking back at 2015

This year has been a busy one, for me and for geeks in general. Next year looks as if it is going to be more of the same. By the time the new year bells ring out, a new Star Wars film will have been out for a couple of weeks and it will beContinue reading “Looking back at 2015”

Reddit AMA

On Thursday next week, 10th December, I’m doing a Reddit AMA on reddit/fantasy. This is my first one of these and I’m fairly new to Reddit in general. I dabbled on there a while ago, but recently in the last year I’ve been dipping in and out. I tend to post occasionally in some ofContinue reading “Reddit AMA”

Second Act

This month has been crazy busy. I’ve just moved house to a new area, am still neck deep in boxes, my job situation has kind of changed, so there’s been a lot of adjustments to make. And a lot of stress from the house move too. Looking in the mirror I definitely saw more whiteContinue reading “Second Act”

Interview with me at SFF World

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. The questions went in some interesting and unexpected directions. Some of them also made me take a step back andContinue reading “Interview with me at SFF World”

Fantasycon 2015 – Nottingham

Below is a list of things that I’ll be doing in a couple of weeks at Fantasycon 2015. This year the event is being held at the East Midlands Conference Centre and Orchard Hotel in Nottingham. I’ve never been to the venue before, but it looks very new and shiny, with lots of natural lightContinue reading “Fantasycon 2015 – Nottingham”

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”
