It Funded!

My campaign to kickstart a new special edition of If Wishes Were Husbands has made it to the finish line in style. I’m thrilled that enough people came on board to make this project come alive. If you backed, then thank you very much.

So what happens now? Well, I’ll be sending out surveys for backers to fill in their details, such as where I should send their books. I’ll also be finishing up the final touches to make sure that everything is in order for people to receive their rewards. The final thing to be sent out will be the audiobook, as that’s still in editing. Although, it’ll be a race to readers, as the hardcover special editions will need to be posted and shipped and it can take six weeks for parcels to arrive (could be sooner, but allow longer just in case).

I’ve now closed the project to late backers, but if you didn’t pledge, don’t think you’ve missed out. The regular editions of If Wishes Were Husbands will be released in the summer both here and on the usual retailers. Meanwhile, I’m planning my next Kickstarter project, which will be a fully revised special edition of Fairy Nuff, the standalone follow up to If Wishes Were Husbands ��� coming this��autumn.

Have you seen my video yet?

I had so much fun putting this video together for the special edition of If Wishes Were Husbands, I spent a whole two week holiday doing it! Not everyone watches these videos, so I thought I’d put it up on YouTube to get a wider audience. It features an animated version of the two main characters as I introduce the story, the project and the book.��https://youtu.be/TEAVmw9BhuY

Signing at DragonMeet

A great picture of me and my friend Jim – esteemed author James Swallow – at the signing for our respective novels at the Aconyte Books stall at DragonMeet in London. I’m holding one of only two copies of Edge of Catastrophe which have made it across to the UK!

It was great to chat to Jim, sign a few books and have a wander around all the stalls there. It was also good to have my new Terraforming Mars book in my hands, as despite it being available everywhere as an ebook and audiobook, the paperback copies are only out in the USA. UK peeps have to wait until copies are shipped across in January 2023.

Terraforming Mars novel wins top award

I won the judges award at the UK Games Expo for my novel, In the Shadow of Deimos, as inspired by the Terraforming Mars game.

They decided not to put my name on the actual award though. I guess you can’t have everything.

Thanks for everyone who’s bought, read, reviewed, enjoyed the book. The follow up is due later this year.
