I’ve already completed two interviews, one for Sci-Fi Now (the book is reviewed in their January issue), and another for the Pan Macmillan website (which can be found by clicking here). There’s also the Q&A I did for the Macmillan New Writers blog (found here), and earlier this week I spoke to the Sheffield Star (out this Thursday) and Sheffield Telegraph (out this Friday), to pimp both the hardback release of The Hoard of Mhorrer and the paperback of The Secret War.
Then there’s the launches – one tomorrow in Sheffield at Waterstones, another on the 16th in London at Goldsboro Books. All require a little public speaking, something I’ve become more accustomed to (though it still feels surreal that there are actually people out there who will listen to what I say!).
On the bookselling side of things, you’ll probably find the paperback of The Secret War in the 3 for 2 section of some Waterstones stores, alongside – I might add - Alis Hawkins’ excellent Testament (which is also out this month).
And because writing is what I do, I’ve had the first reader report on the short story “The favourite” today. I reduced them to tears, which is good – I think!

Next step: to find a publisher of short fiction…
