Wolfskin: pre-orders are open!

Website:

So. After about three thousand years, the Wolfskin finally has an official release date:

March 3, 2026.

And yes, it is available for pre-order.

(The copy description has massive spoilers in it, so unless you’ve finished Blindspace, I do not recommend reading it!)

I do not exaggerate when I say that Wolfskin is the best thing I’ve ever written. The character arcs, the storylines, the set-pieces, even the prose, just works. Never before have I written something so epic, so brutal, so heart-wrenching. It is, in my humble and totally unbiased opinion, a damn good book.

Yes, it’s taken a long time to come out. But that’s given me the time to make sure that what I’ve put down is my absolute best, and my exact vision for the story. Again, it is my best book.

However, because of various reasons, including things that are totally beyond my control, my career is not the best place at the moment. Wolfskin is still coming out, but after that? I don’t know. Things are unclear. I’ve suffered a lot of sleepless nights because of it, and there have been days where I’ve contemplated giving up this gig for good.

I’m not giving up. But that also means that I cannot afford to hold back, either.

So. I am going to ask you all to please pre-order Wolfskin.

Pre-orders are disproportionately helpful for authors. It helps the book trade to gauge the interest on a book, or a series. The more pre-orders there are, the more copies get printed. The more copies get printed, the more the publisher has to work to sell said copies, and the greater likelihood of those copies selling.

I kinda hate that I have to weigh all these things up instead of, you know, writing. But that’s the business we’re in.

So, any and all pre-orders and support is much, much appreciated.

Here’s a link to Wolfskin’s Books2Read page, where you can select the retailer of your choice.

Alternatively, you can also pre-order from Galaxy Bookshop, my local bookstore, and I can happily sign and personalise any copies ordered from there.

If you cannot pre-order it, then there’s a lot of other things you can do for Wolfskin and for the Common series. You can buy them. Ask your local library to purchase them. Tell others about them. Review them on Amazon and Goodreads. Sacrifice goats on an altar of black stone in their name.

Not sure about the last one, but you can always give it a go.

If you are a reviewer with a blog/review channel/BookTube/Instagram account, please get in touch with me and I’ll get my publisher to send out a review copy to you.

It’s been a hell of a long journey, for me and Vakov both. But we’re nearly at the end of his story. I hope that you’ll all stand by my side and see it through to the end.

Podcast nomination for 2014 Parsec award!

Hello there, internet. What’s going on? Well, Folly Blaine’s superb reading of my short story, Heart of Steel, published by EveryDayFiction, has been nominated for the 2014 Parsec Award!

For those of you who aren’t in the mood to click the link, I’ve taken the trouble to provide a screenshot of the nomination.

This is thanks to Folly Blaine, whom without you would have had to put up with my snarky and  pretentious voice. A round o’ drinks for Folly!

One other thing: can you pre-order the first issue of Silver Apples Magazine – which contains a publication of mine. Do you want it? Of course you do.

Also, this is cool. Always nice to be mentioned in fan magazines. They support authors, artists and publishers more than you think.

That’s about it, really.
