A quick missive

Hi Folks

Just a quick one as I'm so busy right now. Anyhew, here's how things stand. Tomes of The Dead: Tide of Souls and Twilight of Kerberos: The Crucible of The Dragon God are now at press, and very marvelous books they are too, if I do say so myself. Tomes of The Dead: Way of The Barefoot Zombie will be going to press next week in time for a late release as will Pax Britannia: Evolution Expects. So there will be a whole stack of Abaddon goodness heading your way soon.
The new size suits the books really well, you may have seen the evidence of this with The Afterblight Chronicles: Operation Motherland which is now on shelves.
Meanwhile, I'm very pleased to say that Mr Scott Andrews will be returning to his Afterblight characters next year with his third book for us, The Afterblight Chronicles: Children's Crusade. And, for Twilight of Kerberos, Mike Wild will be returning for a third book in the Kali Hooper chronicles, provisionally titled The Engines of Apocalypse. Already 2010 is shaping up to be a very exciting year indeed.
Right, that's it from me, back to the manuscript mountain.

Happy Reading!
