THREAD. My new novel will be published on Sep 11th. You can pre-order a signed 1st edition w/free intl delivery here: blackwells.co.uk/bookshop/pro...
All pre-orders MASSIVELY help it get into shops.
IMO it's the best book I've ever written.
At one point, I thought it might be lost forever....

Any shares of this for algorithmical purposes much-appreciated. I'd love to get these books out of my spare room & into the world before my new novel comes out. I'll sign them all & I really am happy to let people choose what they pay.

All I have left of the 1000s of books I bought from my ex-publisher's warehouse are about 200 copies of Ring The Hill. I'd *love* to get them to good homes this week.
If you're in the UK & you'd like one, for the price of your choice (any price!), pls email me your address at hello@tom-cox.com.

Had some excellent news yesterday, which is that the republication of Villager and Help The Witch has been brought forward to the day of Everything Will Swallow You's release. I'm so happy to know these unfairly treated books will be back out in the world:

Many thanks to anyone who chooses to share this. These are the last of the 53000+ books I bought from my ex-publisher Unbound earlier this year, after they stopped paying me and I took my rights back. We have 200-300 left and Jim would love to clear a bit of space in his room (he is very large).
If anyone would like one of these solely for the price of postage (& a bit extra of your choice but no problem if not), please email me and Jim at hello@tom-cox.com and let us know your address.
Stephen Fry called this book "hilarious" but what does he know? Don't trust him. Give it a go yourself.

I hate asking people to buy my books but I've decided I'm going to do it with this one. It's too important to me. After what happened with my ex-publishers I honestly felt like it had been taken from me and lost forever. And every pre-order is so so crucial. Massive thanks if you have put one in.
THREAD. After a tough few months (involving my ex-publisher Unbound ceasing to pay their authors, then disintegrating) I am enormously relieved to reveal Joe McLaren's fantastic cover for my 3rd novel.
The book will be published on September 11th.
I believe it's the best thing I've ever written.

I was invited onto BBC Radio 4's You And Yours today to talk about Unbound, who owe me and their other authors around £650,000 in total, which is not even taking into account the readers they have refused to refund. You can listen to it here (begins around 19 mins in): www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/...

Good that more people are now talking about their experiences here. It makes me feel less alone with the stress I was going through for so long with this company but was silent about for fear of being seen as “making a fuss”. But when is an investigative journalist going to write a piece about it?
So there you have it. My ex-publishers who last year stopped paying me for the seven books I'd written for them, have today gone back on their promise that some of the money that they owe me and their other authors would come through. I should have guessed.. www.thebookseller.com/news/unbound...
Unbound authors will not receive unpaid royalty payments until new publisher Boundless 'is cash stable'
As founder John Mitchinson leaves, Unbound authors learn they will not receive historic royalty payments for sales of their books unless Boundless "survives and thrives".

This new White House executive order says that the US Attorney General is going to prevent states from implementing democratically passed laws regarding climate change and clean energy. It scarcely needs stating at this point that this is wildly, unambiguously unconstitutional. Dictator shit.

Nobody needs a revived version of Buffy The Vampire Slayer. Buffy is fine left just as it was after seven seasons. What we need is a 1970s-set prequel centred around the mysterious misspent youth of Rupert Giles.
