Diversity and Darkhaven: a reply to JJ

Dear JJ,

​I’ve written and rewritten this multiple times. I’ve written it angry. I’ve written it calm. I’ve written it crying. I’ve written it laughing at the sheer stupidity of the thing. I’ve thought about the hatred that gets thrown at people online whenever they raise their heads above the parapet, and considered not writing it at all.

​But then the Orlando massacre happened, and silence was no longer an option.

Darkhaven paperback release day

28/1/2016

Darkhaven cover
Darkhaven is now available to buy in paperback - so if you've been holding out for a physical copy, this is your moment.

You can buy it from Amazon (if you're in the UK) or from Wordery or Book Depository (both of which come with free worldwide shipping). It's currently 25% off at Book Depository, so that seems like a good option.

Alternatively, if you are in the Milton Keynes area tomorrow, feel free to stop by the Waterstones and get a signed copy. I'll be there from noon and I'd love to see you.

If you can't stretch to a physical copy, the ebook is still 99p (UK) or $1.99 (US), but I'm told that's about to end. So grab it now!

Release day giveaway winner

My mailing list subscribers were entered into a giveaway to win a paperback copy of Darkhaven plus a bunch of other prizes. The winner (picked at random) is Isabelle F. If you didn't win, or you aren't currently on my mailing list, then never fear! I will hold another giveaway when Goldenfire comes out in paperback, so stay tuned :-)

In Darkhaven, peace doesn’t last long.

Ayla Nightshade has ruled Darkhaven for three years since the tragedy that tore her family apart. She has left her father’s cruel legacy behind and become a leader her people can believe in – or so she hopes.

Tomas Caraway is no longer a disgraced drunk; he’s Captain of the Helm and the partner of the most powerful woman in Darkhaven. He will do everything to protect Ayla and their adopted son against all possible threats.

But a discovery has been made that could have profound consequences for the Nightshade family. There is a weapon so deadly, it can kill even the powerful creatures they turn into. And now, that weapon has fallen into the wrong hands.
​
An assassin is coming for Ayla, and will stop at nothing to see her dead.

The end of the year is upon us, and so it's time for the obligatory navel-gazing. This time, it comes with something of an announcement.

Adventures in Publishing, vol. 7: three months later

Darkhaven came out at the beginning of July. It’s now the beginning of October. In publishing terms, that means it’s no longer a ‘new release’ but an established book – so this is the perfect time to take stock. Here are just a few of the many things I’ve learned about being a writer.

Do you have a writer in your life? Is she prone to swinging between wild optimism and bottomless despair about the level of her own talent?

​If so, you may have a case of Schrödinger’s author on your hands.

I'm back!

OK, that turned into a three-week break rather than a fortnight. But with Small back at nursery school this week, and me back at work, it's all been rather busy.

This is going to be more of a round-up post than a proper article, so if that's not your thing, look away now.

The short: Something is happening! Win stuff! Buy book bargains!

The long: As the one canine and three human readers of this blog already know, my fantasy novel Darkhaven was released a month ago by Harper Voyager UK as part of their new digital-first programme. It was picked up, along with 14 others, as part of a two-week open door period back in 2012. And now, to celebrate, Voyager are running a week-long spotlight on their digital-first authors called #VirtualVoyager.
