The US cover for Queen of Fire seems to be percolating out through various places today so I thought I’d go ahead and share it. Heartfelt thanks to everyone at Ace for their hard work on this. Blurb on the Amazon pre-order page.

Queen of Fire – Pre-order Pages
Pre-order pages for Queen of Fire are now active on Amazon.com, Amazon.co.uk and iBooks. The UK release date is 2nd July 2015 followed by the US release on the 7th. No covers yet, and the blurb for the UK version hasn’t gone up. Also, no page as yet for the UK Kindle version as far as I can tell. Anyway, happy pre-ordering. I’ll update the links on the Books page when the covers appear.
and ‘Blood Song’ in Czech is…
Píseň krve. To be released on 27th November and available for pre-order now from: http://www.palmknihy.cz/pisen-krve.html
Tower Lord – Semi-finalist in the 2014 Goodreads Choice Awards
Heartfelt thanks to everyone who took the time to nominate Tower Lord for the Goodreads Choice Awards 2014 in the fantasy category. The awards have now reached the semi-final round and I was surprised to find Tower Lord had been included as it didn’t originally appear in the list of nominations, and has only made it this far because enough people submitted ‘write-in votes’ to ensure its inclusion. The support and encouragement I have received from readers since beginning this whole journey a few years ago has been one of its most rewarding aspects. So, even if Tower Lord doesn’t advance any further in the awards, I already feel like I won something special.
Voting in the semi-final round closes on November 15, with the top 10 books in each category advancing to the next stage. Please take the time to drop by and cast a vote for the book of your choice: https://www.goodreads.com/choiceawards/best-books-2014
