…Company will Advance!
It’s almost Dawn here in Britain, or as they’d say in the Trenches: Seven-oh-five Ac.emma. (7.05 am) War mages: Sharpshooter has been submitted to Amazon. I’ll put another post up with the links as soon as they become available. I just want to take this (very early) opportunity to thank everyone involved, my friends and …
Another Day Another Yarn
Am a day late for War mages Monday, since yesterday was very busy doing not much of anything it seems, but without shopping and taking trips to places you soon notice the gaps in your shelves. Anyway, here’s what I owe you all! Orca was a rush of activity, with Nunzia at the eye of …
The Big Push
Ok. So here we are. I have received the final covers from the Pixel Wizard Ken Dawson over at Creative Covers. Further, I have completed the revisions from Polly at Magic Pencil. I can honestly say, I have some of the best freelancer support going. As an aside, Polly is also a knitter, and has …
War Mages Monday (III)
I’m wondering if I should title these with the chapters the extracts come from. What do you think? Let me know in the comments! Anyway, here’s this week’s preview of the hellscape that is Sharpshooter. When the team left the arming room, they found the submarine had been lowered into position. Walking down the quay, …
War Mages…Wednesday?

War Mages Monday (II)
Just to continue the trend, here’s another instalment of my upcoming novel War Mages: Sharpshooter. He cast his gaze out, over the lines of trenches stretching away into the distance, a giant zip, or maybe a scar, cut into the flesh of the Earth. Stretching all the way from Switzerland up to the French coast, …
Best Laid Plans
Sharpshooter has hit a stumbling block or three, which means my release date will be pushed back. I hoped to have it out this year, but it’s looking likely that it will go into 2024. Now this is annoying, but it is completely my own fault, not that of my Dauntless Crew, busy proofing and …
Sequel Bait
I’ve been working on War Mages again, only this time, the second book. I was torn between calling it Stormtrooper and Hard Target, but here’s the blurb anyway. *** The Great War is paused by a ceasefire. Brokered by the Americans, it allows families across the world to count the cost. Still, the terror casts …
