More Jalan & Snorri!
I've released a 25,000 word novella called The New World. This is a sequel to the original trilogy but can also be read as a standalone introduction to the characters by people who've never read the originals.
It's a bunch of fun in which our unwilling hero is dragged off to America!
It starts thusly:
“A nun?�
“Well.� I tried my penitent face. Despite all that practice, I still wasn’t very good at it. “Nuns.�
“Nuns!� Omar threw up his hands. “You said it was just the once!�
“It was!� I fiddled with the sleeves of my cassock. “Just once. I swear it . . . Only with more than one nun.�

10th Anniversary Prince of Thorns
So, the 1,000 (+52) copies of the Broken Binding UK-based 10th anniversary edition of Prince of Thorns sold out...
BUT! There are still 86 of the 750 (+52) copies of the super delux US-based 10th anniversary edition of Prince of Thorns from Grim Oak Press.
This is a leatherbound marvel with full colour internal art by the original cover artis - Jason Chan. Every copy is signed by me and JC.
So, grab one now before they go. Once the UK edition got below 100 copies, they didn't last long!
