New wraparound cover for 'Anthracite' - a lot better than the one Unbound.com mucked up. Because we all need a bit of Welsh comedy cyberpunk.

Huge thank you to everyone who's left a review for Green Unpleasant Land. If you've not done so yet, now's your chance to leave the 100th. It's been stuck on 99 for a while. Book 2, Crimson Hooves, is out tomorrow.

Really happy with the way 'Crimson Hooves' is shaping up - it's a worthy successor to 'Green Unpleasant Land'. It's available for preorder at the moment, and goes live on 30th October.

Crimson Hooves is available for pre-order. This 30k word novella details Bill's first traumatic case. It's going to get dark. Very dark.

Up to number 9 in UK horror/comedy today. Needs more reviews, though. If you've enjoyed Green Unpleasant Land please leave an Amazon review.

Unsure if comedy cyberpunk set in a dystopian future where Wales is the single global superpower is for you? Well, now is your chance to find out at minimal risk.

The sampler for 'Anthracite' (about the first 50% of the book) is free this weekend on Amazon.

New Facebook Ad is looking good. No idea how well these will work. Anyone got any experience with FB ads?
