Love in the Age of Grimdark

I have a guest post up on the Fantasy Hive site, this time talking about grimdark fiction and my need for a little love and light amidst all that relentless, crushing darkness.

Most Anticipated Fantasy Books of 2018

Those fantastic people over at The Fantasy Hive have released their Most Anticipated Fantasy Books of 2018 and... I'm on it with The Traitor God!

As a debut novelist this is both totally unexpected and gives me ALL the good feels. 

I think all novelists have the same worries: that your book will be released and sink without a trace, that nobody will read it, like it, review it or even notice it. It comes with putting your work out into the public sphere, but I reckon it has to be worse with your first word-baby. Mostly, I just hope people will enjoy it.

Interesting times are ahead, and the game is afoot!
