My latest book, The Shadow of the Gods, book 1 of the Bloodsworn Saga, will be published in May 2021. A Time of Courage, book 3 Of Blood and Bone, made the Spiegel Bestseller's List in Germany.

Book 1, A Time of Dread, begins 130 years after the events of the first series. My second series, of Blood and Bone, is set in the Banished Lands, the same world as the first series. The following three books in the series - Valour, Ruin and Wrath, were all shortlisted for the David Gemmell Legend Award for Best Fantasy Novels of 2014, 20, with Wrath winning the 2017 BookNest Awards for Best Traditionally Published Novel. That was a truly wonderful moment, as David Gemmell is a hero of mine and one of the reasons I write. Malice, my debut novel, was published by Pan Macmillan in 2012 and went on to win the David Gemmell Morningstar Award for Best Fantasy Debut of 2012.
