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

Lovely to meet Samantha and have a brief chat. As always, the Brighton Waterstones team hosted a brilliant event.

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.

EXCLUSIVE CONTENT…

It has been very exciting to see the new covers for Of Blood and Bone. But that is not all that is new…

There is an exclusive short story at the end of the new edition of A Time of Dread. This tale revisits a character very close to my heart from The Faithful and the Fallen…

I had such a wonderful time visiting Serbia with my wife for Zmajkon Festival in Niš and then a signing in Belgrade. We were looked after so well and met some amazing people. I’ll post more about this soon, but today Caroline and I are flying to France

I love the covers for The Bloodsworn Saga, so I was so happy with the art direction of these special editions keeping the original cover without the text. I hope you love them as much as I do.

Not only are these a new special edition, they are the first ever mass hardbacks I will have printed in the US. They will be available for wide distribution through bookstores such as Barnes and Noble and Waterstones.

Here is some incredible art by @lanterillustration.bsky.social of Glornir Shieldbreaker from The Bloodsworn Saga. Have to say, he does look familiar…
