Today’s the Day!

The launch party is off the ground, or will be, from 12:00 noon (BST).  You can join in the fun and excitement of the launch of my epic fantasy trilogy. Book 1, Joinings, (A Seared Sky), is published today in print and ebook formats. More than a book, it’s a work of love and craft in preparation for years and brought to you by the added skills of a brilliant publisher, Fantastic Books Publishing.

This unique novel will delight all adult readers (because of the themes addressed, I advise a reader age of 15 and above).

The launch is an online event so everyone can attend and join in the fun. There’ll be giveaways, signed print editions, interaction with the author, interviews, videos and more. It’s easy to get involved; click this link and you’ll be whisked to where everything’s happening. I’ll be at the party for as long as I’m able. Come along, ask questions, join the gang here, interact.

For those unable to make it, here are the links to buy the book:

Both formats UK; 

Both formats US;
