Now on to the other announcement, how about this for a cover? Introducing my latest steampunk novel, published by the most perspicacious and discerning Kristell Ink. The artwork is again by the most talented folks at Amygdala Design. Don't start clicking on to Amazon just yet, though. This one is scheduled for release at Lincoln Asylum (UK's biggest Steampunk Festival) on August 25th. Here's the blurb from he back to whet your appetites...

Something foul scurries through the streets of Victorian London, clicking and ticking as it goes. There are metal men, hidden in plain sight but with darkness in their cold mechanical minds, coerced into a cruel travesty of life at the hands of a technomancer.

George Wheeler, one-time Church Investigator of things forbidden, is approached by past colleagues from the Metropolitan Police; the dark rumours associated with these unnerving machines needs to be investigated and quickly, but they prefer not to dirty their hands with anything too fantastical.

Together with Keene, a young, forthright man with a dubious history but an old trusted friend of his son, and Alfie - a plucky and resourceful apprentice at Mainwaring's Mechanical Servants, Wheeler's investigations plunge him into a cruel and violent world of which he wants no part, dealing with forces he refuses to accept, yet knowing this is not something he can walk away from.

Sorry to have kept you waiting, but

I know, I know, excuse after excuse. Look on the bright side. At least I don't spam you all. And I do have an excellent reason. Not only have we just about finished all the prep work on my new book with Kristell Ink (more soon), but (fanfare please) after far too long here, finally, is the third book in the Warrior Stone series.

Tah-Dah

Glorious cover, isn't it? Courtesy of the inimitable Amygdala Design (of course).

"Trouble is closing in on Claire Stone. Her parents are possessed by monsters, all her friends are betraying her, and everyone is trying to steal the secret of the White Magic.
When Help does come, it is d=from and unexpected source. Claire finds it difficult to trust anybody after so many betrayals, and has nowhere else to turn.
But her parents need her, and now Claire has to find out just how far she is prepared to go to save them.”

Officially released 31 July 2017. Available for preorder on Amazon now (click here). Other formats will be available on 31st.

An offer not to miss

Hopefully, many of you will already be familiar with my Warrior Stone series, but for thos who aren't, or those who like a bit of Steampunk in their diet, might I introduce and heartily recommend....

The Great Instafreebie Steampunk Book Promotion

... another BristolCon bites the dust.

So this one was a little out of the ordinary. Particularly as it was my first ever book launch. Amunet, previously much touted on this blog, was launched on Saturday with much fanfare and fancy. Exciting, despite a couple of tech hitches, but I think I acquitted myself well. Much appreciation to the BristolCon team and to my publisher (Kristell Ink) for organising everything, and to all the other Grimmies who dug in and helped with logisics and baking.

The real heroes of the day, though, were my family, who got totally into the the theme of things and supported me to the hilt. They are all great, and I am a very lucky man

And what would the day be without a little whimsy :)
