Publishing a free short story!

Surprise cover reveal! In early November, I’m publishing my novelette “Scream in Blue”, set in the world of The Common. It’s a standalone story, set on Earth, following a different cast of characters from my books.

I’ll be popping it up on Amazon as an eBook, but anyone who subscribes to my newsletter gets it for free. And we all like free stuff, right?

You can subscribe to my newsletter here.

And credit for this awesome cover goes to Mike Shackle, who blew my expectations out of the water!

Blindspace on sale, and US Book launch


So! BLINDSPACE is just $1.99 on eBook for today only! That’s 1 cent for every three pages. If you haven’t grabbed the book yet, now’s the perfect time, because the book has never been cheaper.

Click here, or on the book, to get it!

If you’re in the UK, it’s been discounted to 3.99 quid, which is still a damn good deal for a book that took me three years to write and edit.

Otherwise, the mass market paperback edition of Blindspace has dropped! So if you’ve got the paperback version of Stormblood and you’re wanting to make sure all the book sizes align on the shelf, you can now fulfill that one little desire.



I’m launching Blindspace in the US in late November, courtesy of the fabulous people of the Mysterious Galaxy bookstore.

Joining me to launch the book will be Richard Swan, the author of The Justice of Kings. Event page and details here.

Feel free to heckle us with awkward, tricky questions (although we’ll be free to ignore them or provide ridiculous answers.)

Jeremy Szal has a . . . book club?

I’ve finally gotten off my arse and launched my newsletter/book club/email list. It’s so everyone who likes my stuff (surprisingly, such people exist) can remain in touch, hear about upcoming book releases, early cover reveals, etc. I’ll also be doing free giveaways, posting free short stories, and posting news in advance. In addition, all subscribers will get a free novelette that’s set in the world of The Common, and acts as a sort of prequel to STORMBLOOD.

It’ll be the best way to hear what I’m up to, as I despise WordPress and don’t see myself sticking around here for long.

I’ll be sending these updates very infrequently – perhaps three to four times a year, but I’m still ironing out the kinks.

Stormblood US Book Launch with Mysterious Galaxy

The great Mysterious Galaxy Bookstore is hosting the virtual US launch of STORMBLOOD tonight, on April 6 at 7pm PT, along with my good mate Jackson Ford, aka Rob Boffard. It’s free to attend, so if you’re keen to watch us talk nonsense about beers and books and roast each other senseless, do come along.

The link to register for the event is here.

Oh, and all copies of STORMBLOOD with Mysterious Galaxy will include signed bookplates, since I know some of you guys like that.

STORMBLOOD US launch!

After nearly 2 years (thanks COVID), STORMBLOOD will *finally* be releasing locally in the US and Canada in print format! In actual bookstores!

Even better, Mysterious Galaxy in CA will have signed copies available in a few weeks time. So, if a gnarly military SF/space opera adventure about two estranged brothers on opposing sides of a drug war looks up your alley, and if having my chicken scrawl signature defacing your book happens to be your thing, you can pre-order a copy here.

Other stores that have signed copies include:

Borderlands Books

White Dwarf Books

Barnes and Nobles, Lafayette IN

Considering this is basically a soft relaunch for the book, pre-orders are hugely hugely helpful. I can’t understate how essential they are for newer authors, especially with indie SFF bookstores.

BLINDSPACE Hardback Available at Goldsboro

At last, it can be announced! The fabulous Goldsboro books are doing a special, limited hardback run of BLINDSPACE, just as they did with STORMBLOOD, with fabulous dark-purple sprayed edges. They’re all accompanied by my hand-crafted, vintage, bespoke signature, with some witty turns of phrase included for good measure. I do it for you, dear readers! I do it for you!

There’s only going to be 250 copies available (one of which is MINE), so if you’re looking for a hardback edition I do suggest you grab one quickly. . .

You can go ahead and buy it on the Goldsboro website, here.
