Green Unpleasant Land Launch
Huge thanks to everyone who's reviewed Green Unpleasant Land. Really pleased that others are enjoying as much as I have. Being read is a big part of the writing process for me, so it's really satisfying to see the positive reviews. Sales are also decent. Not sure what I was expecting for my first self-published novel, but first signs are encouraging.
The reviews are a huge part of getting more sale Read more of this blog post »

Richard Howard's review
of
Crimson Hooves (Green Unpleasant Land Cycle Book 2):
"Though not as good as its predecessor - it's less cosmic horror, more folk horror - this is still a fun jaunt through an alternative England aflame with Anglican jihadis and eldritch Lovecraftian entities. Elsie is certainly a welcome addition - ever"

"I came to Crimson Hooves with a little trepidation. I loved Green Unpleasant Land, but other horror series had dipped in quality after bright starts. I needn’t have worried - Crimson Hooves carries on the great writing and atmosphere of its predecess"

Green Unpleasant Land (Green Unpleasant Land Cycle Book 1):
"loved this book! It's not just the setting that felt like stepping back in time but the writing itself reminded me of this first time I picked up a Sherlock Holmes novel and explored the smog covered streets of London. Beautifully descriptive and cap"

“Folk with no exposure to the savagery of wanton violence often seem able to romanticize the barbarity. Those of us who’ve lived it, up close and personal like, hold to no such illusions.”

Thank you :) There's a long way to go, but I can't wait to see it in-print. You can read the first couple of chapters here -https://unbound.com/books/anthracite/...

Friend request happily accepted Matt. Good luck with your novel 👍🏻
Also very happy you liked my review.. book reading has been spotty the last year so not many visits here. I'm going to blame no holiday last year and a recently purchased TV streaming service and that left me catching up with series I had missed and thusly going to bed later and be afraid to turn on the reading light in case it woke my wife up!
I'm now caught up mostly so reading time opens up again!
