Coming on February 18th from Főnix Könyvműhely - the Hungarian translation of God of Broken Things. It's always incredibly cool to see my writing published in other languages, though it feels deeply odd I can't read it.

Today is the day! God of Broken Things is officially out and on the shelves!! The tyrant Edrin Walker's tale comes to an end facing down daemons, ancient spirits, mind-controlling parasites, and worst of all: his own power.

Some more reviews of God of Broken Things   are in, and they are good! Phew, it's always nerveracking waiting to see how a book will be received. God of Broken Things: Review by Jon Karoll Review by Grimdark Magazine And a bonus review of The Traitor God  here on CulturaColectiva .

It's alive, ALIVE! It's a real living book! God of Broken Things has arrived at the Angry Robot megacorp HQ. heh, I see what they did there...

Sending a new book out into the world is a pretty nerve-racking time - I never know how it's going to be received. I would have thought that it might be easier the second time around, but apparently not. Fortunately the first few advance reviews of God of Broken Things have been good. Phew! *wipes sweat off my brow* The amazing Nick T Borrelli just posted a truly amazing Five ***** review of God of Broken Things . And no, not's not a censored sweary word... Check it out below: Cameron Johnston is an author who writes exactly the types of books that I really enjoy.  Heavy on the magic, violently action-packed, with plenty of thrills punctuated by characters who don't always behave the way you expect them to.  Cameron's first book in his Age of Tyranny series The Traitor God was one of my favorite reads of 2018.  It immediately grabbed my attention when I first read it and I've been eagerly anticipating book two so that I could get right back into this amazing...

The copy edits are in and the ARCS are straining at their collars ready to be unleashed. God of Broken Things is now up on Netgalley if anybody wants to review it early.

I have a doubler in this month's Grimdark Magazine #18 : a short story, Hatred For Heroes, and an interview. I'm overjoyed to be sharing a cover with such great writers.

May 2019 be most excellent to you. I'll be kicking the year off with a short story soon to appear in Kzine and an interview in Grimdark magazine, followed up by a short story in a subsequent edition of Grimdark magazine. Following that it's the launch of God of Broken Things coming out from Angry Robot in June, and trying to find an agent and publisher for the new Work in Progress novel once it's finished and polished up. *fingers crossed*

A productive weekend of writing means God of Broken Things has been finished and sent off to my editors at Angry Robot. Now the wait to hear back begins. I hope they like it even more than The Traitor God! In an odd moment of synchronicity, The Fantasy Inn have just posted the cover reveal for God of Broken Things, paired with a post about swords in fantasy.

And lo the rough draft of God of Broken Things (The Traitor God 2) was finished and sent off to his agent for comments! Next he must face the valley of the cutting edits and traverse the dark forest of rewrite...*sigh* Lucky I enjoy writing 😛

My good friends at Angry Robot have announced the sequel to The Traitor God. Colour me excited with a proper party hat on! Tentatively titled, God of Broken Things, the novel will be dropping in June next year and sees your favourite antihero Edrin Walker back in the midst of all that terrible, beautiful action. Here’s the synopsis: Tyrant magus Edrin Walker destroyed the monster sent by the Skallgrim, but not before it laid waste to Setharis, and infested its magical elite with mind-controlling parasites. Edrin’s own Gift to seize the minds of others was cracked by the strain of battle, and he barely survives the interrogation of a captured magus. There’s no time for recovery though: a Skallgrim army is marching on the mountain passes of the Clanhold. Edrin and a coterie of villains race to stop them, but the mountains are filled with daemons and magic, and Walker must stop at nothing to win, even if that means losing his mind. Or worse… For those of you who’ve yet to have rea...
