May 2023 Writing update

Hello everyone,

I hope you are all keeping well!

May was another busy busy month, however June is about to get even busier. I’m on deadline – with means my nose must be flat to the grindstone so the manuscript for book 3 is with my editor before I go on holidays.

Wish me luck!

The Children of Gods and Fighting Men

The paperback is now out everywhere apart from North America, Australia and New Zealand.

The dates for these releases are:

N. America – 8th August 2023

Australia/NZ – 5th September 2023

Back home, it’s been lovely to see the paperbacks when I’ve been out shopping in Waterstones. Honestly, to be on one of the main tables is a dream come true.

When I was younger, I’d beg for book tokens for birthdays and Christmas – and these were always the books I checked out first.

More good news – I’ve reached 1,009 ratings on Goodreads this month, which is amazing. I will stop giving you this tally now that I’ve reached 1,000 – but it’s been lots of fun to watch this tick up and knowing that people are still reading my book so many months after publication.

The Words of Kings and Prophets

The marketing work for The Words of Kings and Prophets – Book 2 in The Gael Song series – is ramping up!

Now all the editing work is completed, this is the fun part.

So, things for you to know.

Release dates are expected to be:

UK/Ireland/Europe/Commonwealth publishing area – 14th September

North America – 3rd October

Australia/NZ – 28th November

E-Book/Audiobook – 14th September (all territories)

The audiobook announcement is my big news since last month – and this is now available to pre-order on Amazon. I can also confirm that Aoife McMahon is returning to narrate the story.

If you are a blogger/bookstagrammer/booktuber or review books on TikTok, you can request an arc via Netgalley.

Also – if you are a blogger/booktuber/Tiktoker, please let me know if you are interested in joining my blogtour. Quite a few have emailed already, which has been lovely to see!

Writing news

I’m currently working on editing book 3 of The Gael Song series. I am already about 72% though the editing process and will keep going throughout June as the book has to be handed in at the end of the month.

I also can say that…

I have signed a two book novella deal with HoZ – both of which are set in The Gael Song world! I don’t have any more details to share yet regarding titles and release dates, but I can let you know that the first novella has already been handed in!

That's all my news for now!
And remember if you are reading this to add my books to your TBR/rate/review - it all helps!
