My newest #Fantasy #ebook, LORELEI THE SLAYER, is currently #free on #Kindle, until June 22nd. It's all about fighting back against oppression. Also, stealing cool swords.

Just got the email confirming my Switch 2 will arrive on release day. Feeling pretty bad though for the many many gamers of VATICAN CITY who might have to wait until the day after release!

I’m interested in hiring an #artist to create the cover for my short story. Art style I’m interested in is reminiscent of Yoshitaka Amano (Final Fantasy). Paid gig (of course). DM me if interest or if you know anyone that would be a good fit!

Drinking coffee and reading fantasy in a record store cafe in Liverpool city centre. Approaching dangerously hipster levels of hip.

I’ve had to create a to-read shelf on my desk to cope with the Christmas influx. What a terrible problem to have.

EMPIRE UNDER A DYING SUN - What use is magic, when your world is ending?

An inexperienced empress and an old warhorse general scramble to save their magical empire when the sun begins to die and flaming auroras ravage the world. Inspired by Byzantine culture.

Commissioning this cover by an artist called Subasie was the best decision I ever made. His work blew me away.

Some days all I can think about is how great it would be if the GBA Pokemon games were released on Switch. Think how excited we’d all be, going on our Pokemon adventures again and sharing it online.

I picked up the little penguin book of the Suffragettes from a museum over the weekend and it was well worth the read. #history #democracy

I’m currently waiting to hear back from a couple of prospective publishers, so probably the best thing to do until then is work on the next book. #fantasy
