The Stone Roses will be playing a gig with me at Waterstones Bradford this Saturday (26 May) from 11am. Never done a book signing in Bradford before, so interested to see what it’s like. There’s a nice park in the centre or something, but the mate who told me that might have had his tongue planted firmly in cheek. Then I’ll wanna get home quickly afterwards, for the Eurovision 2012! (Alright, I admit, the bit about the Stone Roses wasn’t exactly true.)

Please release me…
Well, today’s the official release of Empire of the Saviours in the UK (and Germany, I think). Couldn’t you tell? Didn’t you see all the omens, harbingers and heralds in the sky last night… or was that because I’d drunk too much?
Anyway, the first signing event is in Waterstones Bolton this Saturday, from 11am. And there’s a new review of the doorstop here: http://sfbook.com/empire-of-the-saviours.htm.

to bring the truest test
Onto the last chapter of Gateway of the Saviours, in which they nearly live happily ever after. Book’s up to 179K words already, which makes it a hefty old doorstop. Do people use doorstops anymore?
In other news, I’ll be teaching at Manchester Univ. come June. Gotta pay my bills – cat food, etc. Sheesh.
Looking forward to the UK launch of Empire of the Saviours, though. Nice day out on 19 May signing in glamorous Bolton.

Another decent review
Review of Empire of the Saviours on the ‘I Will Read Books’ site. What can I say? Erik’s a man of good taste.

SciFi Now review & stuff
Cool review of Empire of the Saviours in this month’s SciFi Now magazine. It’s pretty fair really, although I’m pretty sure they meant to give me five stars instead of four.
I’ve signed with the Hanbury Literary Agency, who represented JG Ballard back in the day. He did Empire of the Sun, Crash, etc. They also represent Katie Price.
Oo, and more signing events being confirmed. Got one for Waterstones Warrington (old and favoured stomping ground) on 2 June 2012. Might line up Bolton for the official launch, 18 May.

Easy competition to win the best fantasy novel coming out this year. Just tell Marcus why you should have a copy.
