My advance copies of BRIDGE OF STORMS just arrived, & it’s looking good. Seasonally snowy cover art by @ianmcque.bsky.social In US & British bookshops on 12th Feb (but pre-orderable today hint hint.)

Two books to look out for in 2026 👀

Bridge of Storms is set in the world of Mortal Engines, and is the first of two sequels to Thunder City.

Of Mice and Mummies is the eighth book in the Adventuremice series, co-authored and illustrated by @sarahmcintyre.bsky.social

Happy New Year!

A blog post about the process of writing (& filming) Prairie Rascals. What was its original title? Which characters share dialogue with Mortal Engines assassins? Why does nobody talk when there’s a horse around? ALL IS REVEALED. philipreeveblog.blogspot.com/2025/12/writ...

Nothing makes a fabulous stocking stuffer like a highly-illustrated Adventuremice book... or a big ribbon around the whole series!

My co-author & I recently launched book 7; it's backed up with lots of fun, free activities at Adventuremice.com!
