It’s publication day for City of All Seasons, and I’m suitably feeling divided on the subject. I’m sad that this particular writing adventure is over, but very happy that it’s resulted in a book that I really can still enjoy, both in terms of the experience and the end result. It was a brilliant process and a huge amount of fun to craft with Oliver Langmead. He’s such a good writer. Do check out his other books, particularly the wonderful epic space poem Calypso, which is up for a Hugo award this year.

Here are a few links to reviews and interviews about City, if you’d like a bit more info:

Thanks to everyone who has read or reviewed it already! Here’s to further adventures in the spirit of mad inventions that unexpectedly lead to surprising outcomes.

(Our beautiful book! Extra thank you to Titan Books, who have put it into the world with such enthusiasm and commitment.)
