Seasons greetings and huge thanks to all my readers for enabling me to spend another year in the writing mines.
If you know any fantasy fans who haven’t gotten around to the Raven’s Shadow series yet you might want to let them know the UK ebook edition of Blood Song will be available at the special price of £1.49 until 5th January 2016. Available here: Amazon.co.uk, Kobo, iBooks, WH Smith
This year I donated signed, lined and dated Advance Review Copies of all three books in the Raven’s Shadow series to Worldbuilders, the charity established by fantasy author Patrick Rothfuss to support the excellent work of Heifer International. Anyone who’d like to own these should head on over to Worldbuilders and donate $10 or more for a chance to win. There’s also a load of other really great stuff for fantasy fans, including signed books from Django Wexler, Brent Weeks and Brandon Sanderson, among many others.

Here’s the full line-up of contributing authors:
Very pleased to report that Jaime Jones has been confirmed as the cover artist for the UK edition of The Waking Fire (Book One of The Draconis Memoria). Jaime is a highly respected concept artist and illustrator who’s recent work includes the cover for Peter Newman’s The Vagrant. I’ve seen a rough of the cover for The Waking Fire and, suffice to say, it far exceeded my expectations so I’ll be very excited to share the final version as soon as Orbit lets me. You can view a gallery of Jaime’s work here: http://www.artpad.org/gallery/portfolio/
Huge thanks to my German readers for voting the German language edition of Tower Lord – Der Herr des Turms – onto the shortlist for the Leserpreis Award in the Fantasy and Science Fiction category. The “Leserpreis” is the biggest readers’ choice book award in the German-speaking region and I’m very honoured to find myself nominated. You can vote on the shortlist here. Voting closes on 24th November.
