A few more choice photos whilst the staff raised their eyebrows. If you can't celebrate by taking your book to fancy underwater themed cocktails, then what's the point, I ask you. 😂

Last night we celebrated by taking silly photos in a fancy bar called Sexy Fish in Manchester. Might be banned now, totally worth it 😂

I have been on two panels, attended one, signed books in nine bookshops, caught up with many old friends and new, chatted to readers, met a pair of Kelpies and now I'm thoroughly content but exhausted. Thank you Scotland.

Is it cake? Yes this one is, but the book is also out and available now at all good bookshops!
Tideborn is the end of the Drowned World duology that started with Fathomfolk. Time to let it swim off into readers' hands and imaginations. 🌊❤️

My timeline informs me the Hugo award nominations are now open! You can vote if you were a member of Worldcon in Glasgow 2024 or upcoming in Seattle 2025. I would be delighted if you considered my work, in particular Fathomfolk for best novel, if it resonated with you.

Yes I already have at least one totoro in every room in the house but I didn't have totoro plates that could be used for teabags so that's an essential purchase...

Announced over on IG, the Illumicrate edition of TIDEBORN is a beaut! Danlin Zhang has also returned with another exquisite cityscape on the hardback. I LOVE that her image of the broken city matches the subtle hints of ruin in Kelly Chong's main cover. Preorders open in Jan!
