Finally got a hard copy of my new book. Feels utterly surreal that 1. Publisher took my pitch for an ecoterrorist heist thriller 2. Publisher were happy with the pig-brain transplant mole-ifying body horror and experimental prose approach 3. Publisher made it THIS PRETTY It's a dream

'a pure shot of literary adrenaline - achingly smart, gritty, funny and a hell of a lot of fun' Molly Flatt, author of genre-busting THE CHARMED LIFE OF ALEX MOORE. Love that book- loop theory consciousness, ancient magics, stone circles, london start-up culture, romance?!

The mildly insane finale to The Rotstorm trilogy THE GAUNTLET AND THE BROKEN CHAIN is eligible for the fantasy novel award. Third book in a trilogy, winning best novel? HEAR ME OUT Animist gods, sympathetic juntas, soft magic, war crimes! UFOs! Honestly if you've slept on this, how embarrassing

My novel THE GAUNTLET AND THE BROKEN CHAIN, the final book of The Rotstorm trilogy, is eligible for the Fantasy novel award- I love it, I think it is the strongest of the trilogy. A long shot for book 3 in a series to make noise, but if you rated it consider a vote! ⚔️🛸⚡

Dude has a synthetic biolohy book and no trousers, what a life. Found the book a bit of a drudge. Thinly veiled marketing for Colossal, nothing that will get your sails up if you've had a vague eye on the scene. Nice cover though
