The Bloodsworn Special Editions are officially out in the US - one more week to wait for the UK. I saw this beautiful artwork today of ORKA by Red Murphy Art and I felt that this really captured the spirit of the ferocious mother-wolf. Seeing readers create artwork from your books is wonderful.

I chatted with one of my heroes at World FantasyCon in Brighton this weekend. @johngwynneauthor.bsky.social, you're an absolutely lovely guy and I'm glad I finally got to meet you.
My daughter was jealous that I'd met Grumpy from Once Upon a Time until I told her who you are though!😅

An absolute pleasure attending Samantha Shannon’s event with Brighton Waterstones the other day to celebrate the publication of Among the Burning Flowers.

Some very exciting news… I am honoured to have been asked to interrogate the wonderful Jay Kristoff during his London Waterstones Event on the 14th November. Not only does this mean I get the pleasure of his company, but I also get the pleasure of reading Empire of the Dawn before it is available…

It is always an honour seeing a new edition in the flesh and this is no exception. I love the interior art and sprayed edges with the new Of Blood and Bone covers. This edition is available for purchase via The Broken Binding (found in my LinkTree)

“I Shall Call Her Storm”
A flashback to one of my favourite pieces of art in the @grimoakpress.bsky.social special edition of Malice. Sam White did an incredible job.
A very important moment for the entire series, featuring two integral characters 🐺 that will always be special to me.

Four of my favourite reads last year. I'd have rated them all 6 stars if I could. Truly masterpieces of their genres.
The Daughters' War is gripping and gritty, with terrifying goblins.
The Empire of the Damned is Kristoff at his best - heart-poundingly good.

I popped in to the excellent Brighton Waterstones yesterday and signed a large handful of books. If you’re in the area and are looking for a signed copy, Brighton is the place to go. Truth and Courage 😁🐺
