I told you the title of the next Warrior Druid of Britain novel just a couple of days ago, and now I can show you the final cover art. I'm really pleased with it, as I always am with my designer's work. Possibly the most important thing about a book cover these days is how... Continue Reading →
I've now completed work on the first draft of the new Druid novel (following on from 2018's The Druid and 2019's Song of the Centurion) and my editor will be going over it next month. So, that means, all being well, I am aiming for an August release date! Writing this one was a bit like when I... Continue Reading →
You may remember my blog post about a visit to Dunadd hill fort last year. It was a memorable trip I took with my daughter, and really helped me to get an idea of the place which ended up in Song of the Centurion (check out the photos HERE). Well, for my birthday this year... Continue Reading →
It's Hogmanay! I hope you all had a great Christmas and Satan, I mean, Santa, was good to you! Thank you all so much for your amazing support in 2019. It's been a very productive year for me, with two novels - Song of the Centurion and Lucia - being published, along with an unexpected... Continue Reading →
Another new book from me! Following Song of the Centurion in September, and Lucia in October, I expect my new Forest Lord novella Faces of Darkness (starring Little John and Friar Tuck) to be available in late December. Below is the cover art, along with a blurb that will probably change. The book runs to about 30,000 words, making this the longest novella... Continue Reading →
I was working the day job in Duntocher recently, a place Bellicus travels through in The Druid (he speaks to a woman there and she finds a coin under her foot if you recall the scene). Obviously there's a LOT of history in this area as it was on the Antonine Wall in Roman days and there... Continue Reading →
This article came to be when I was asked by the Historical Novel Society to write something outlining how I went about launching my latest novel, The Druid. Some of the tips will not be relevant to you, and that's fine - these are just things that I tried with this particular book and it seemed... Continue Reading →
2018 has been a great year for my writing - the last quarter in particular. I published The Druid two months ago and it's stayed high in the Amazon charts in both the UK and the USA ever since, garnering dozens of fantastic reviews along the way. Thank you to all who bought it and left their... Continue Reading →
I haven't posted much here for a while but I think it's time to let everyone know what's happening right now with regards to my new projects. The Druid, book 1 in my forthcoming brand new series set in 5th century Britain, is finished and with my agent. Unfortunately for us, historical fiction of this... Continue Reading →
