I had this fine illustrated hardback for 10 years before picking it up - I sat on it way too long, but I shouldn't have. It's excellent - all the great GoT stuff in a smaller, more focused package.

Discovered half way through that there's an HBO series coming in January 😮

I went to the catacombs beneath Paris.

It's a strange place.

I've been told twice in the last week that book publicists (in this case scammers) have claimed to have worked with/for me.

They've gone so far as to hand out a fake email for me so that you can "check with me".

So ... watch out. I've not worked with any independent publicists/strategists.

The rough sketch for the cover of my next book has got 666 likes and 13 shares on Facebook. Clearly an omen!

I’ve just seen the final version of the UK cover art for Mark Lawrence’s upcoming Daughter of Crows. It’s so hauntingly beautiful I’ve got goosebumps all over!

It’s another triumph for HarperVoyager after the stunning Library trilogy covers. Cover artist Tom Roberts is definitely a keeper!

I've no idea who owns the audio rights wherever you might be - and I also don't know if you technically need their permission rather than mine. But as far as I'm concerned, part of a page, not being sold, is fine with me.
