Temporary Website Blip

Just a note to say my website has a technical error and has temporarily gone splat. I've alerted my website keeper and I'm sure normal service will be resumed very soon.

TRAILER OF THE WILD HUNT

My first published novel, the award winning The Wild Hunt is re-issued this next week. I've given it a thorough re-edit and it's now available from online sellers and in most UK bookshops. To mark the event, I've made one of my trailers.


In other news my contracts from Sourcebooks have arrived, so that's another step on the way to
USA paperback and electronic publication.

In the not too distance future I hope to have some news about UK appearances at library events next year, so watch this space. Arrangements are being sorted at the moment.

Time of Singing Alert

This is just a note to say that I've had sales numbers in from my editor re The Time of Singing.
It's selling very well and if the momentum keeps up, then it'll be due to to go into reprint soon. However, if the timing isn't spot on, it may not be available for a couple of weeks. So if you're thinking of buying a copy as a Christmas present, do it sooner rather than later while there are still first printing stocks. This isn't a marketing ploy - honest! - it's just that I don't want anyone to be disappointed and sometimes deadlines with printers etc can go pear-shaped!

BOOK SIGNING IN OAKHAM

A note to say I will be signing copies of my novels at Buy The Book in Oakham, Rutland, this Saturday November 1st from around 10.am. I'll be there for a couple of hours, so if you want a signed copy for yourself or for a Christmas present, please drop by!

NEW WEBSITE!
It's still at the usual address but it's had a re-design and polish and there are lots of new features and photographs

Published Today!

A brief note to say that THE TIME OF SINGING has officially been published today. I thought it had been put back to the 16th, but not so...
It's been selected as Historical Book of the Month at the Books Monthly website here.

FUTURE PROJECT!
As many readers know, I am currently writing the story of Mahelt Marshal and Hugh Bigod which is loosely linked in to THE TIME OF SINGING. When I've finished this though - due to be handed in next summer, I thought that folk might like to know my next project is going to be Edith Swan-Neck and her relationship with Harold Godwinsson. I met her this afternoon during an Akashic Record session and she's going to be one fabulous lady to write about!
