Excerpt:

I was very pleasantly surprised when I started reading this book. From the moment you start reading, you are plummeted into the world of mechanicals and zombies and hooked with wonderful descriptions of the landscape. I truly enjoyed her descriptions of the land, the costumes, and…

Farewell, Musa

Farewell, Musa, we hardly knew ye - here's a short post about a piece of sad news, the closure of my Publisher.

At the end of last week, I received a little sad news. But let me set the scene.

At the beginning of 2013, I was casting around the internet looking for writing inspiration when I came across a sort of submissions call: a small press called Musa Publishing were announcing a steampunk shared world project called The Darkside Codex, and their description of the setting sparked my interest.

The Caelimane Operation

The Caelimane Operation

Southwatch is a steampunk city divided: the rich live in the luxurious airships of the Aerie, while the poor eke out an existence in the pollution-choked streets below.

Countdown: Four... introducing the protagonists of "The Glass Sealing"...

This is the week that was - the last week I wasn’t a novelist! But before I wave goodbye to the life I lived before…

Countdown: Five...

Countdown: Five... introducing the city of Southwatch - home to the Darkside Codex shared world series...

It’s just one week until The Glass Sealing is published - but before that happens, I want to introduce you to the world I was allowed to play around in.

The Darkside Codexis a shared world project: that is to say, the details of the world were created independently of any particular story, with the intention of allowing various writers to contribute to an ever increasing corpus of fantastical…
