COVER REVEAL: New GSFWC anthology launching at Worldcon in Glasgow this August, feating one of mine: Gods of the Deepwood Periodically the GWSFC produces a publication to showcase our range and wonder. In the last few years we’ve had Thirty Years of Rain for our thirtieth anniversary and Flotation Device to raise money during the pandemic and many others previously including, for the first Glasgow Worldcon in 1995, Shipbuilding. Well, this year there is another Glasgow Worldcon and we have decided to produce a new anthology for that. It is called Gallus . Gallus is a Scots word meaning bold, daring or high-spirited, and often used to describe the people of Glasgow.

The cover for my next book, THE LAST SHIELD has just been released! Coming August 13th. The ancient forest realm of Sunweald is bordered on two sides by far mightier nations – a precarious situation. At its centre, the Sunweald Palace is home to the Lord Regent and the heir to the throne, together with numerous precious and powerful artefacts. The Palace is protected by the realm’s elite Shields, dedicated to guarding the royal line against all foes. A group of vicious brigands called the Wildwood Reivers have been stealing arcane artefacts and smuggling them across the borders, out of Sunweald. And the objects they most desire are stored in the mystical Wyrm Vault, hidden away deep in the bones of the earth, within the walls of the Palace itself. As political and religious tensions mount, Sunweald’s druids prepare to enact rituals for the Summer Solstice – but the Wildwood Reivers and their treacherous allies have other plans. It falls to Briar, the commander of the Shields, to d
