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 →
GRIMDARK, the renowned fantasy magazine, recently took a look at my novel The Druid and seem to have rather enjoyed it, judging by their review. Although The Druid is historical fiction, I, and obviously the reviewer, think it can be enjoyed just as much by fans of fantasy along the lines of Game of Thrones.... Continue Reading →
Audible fans, save a credit as Song of the Centurion, sequel to The Druid, has finished recording!

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 →
