We're over half way through 2009 now (where did the time go?) so I thought it an appropriate moment to give you an update on what you can see in print from me between now and Christmas.

First up there's
Evolution Expects, my fourth
Pax Britannia novel featuring dandy adventurer and agent of the crown, Ulysses Quicksilver. More
steampunk action than you can shake a sword-cane at.

Then, in August, there's the timely release of
The Official Doctor Who Annual 2010. I've contributed about a third of this and I'm
excited to see how many puzzles and factual write-ups have turned out.
Demons: A Clash of Steel Anthology - this should also be out in August and features an original short story by myself
entitled The Pact.
Stormslayer, my sixth
Fighting Fantasy adventure
gamebook, hits the shelves in September and it would be an
understatement to say that I'm looking forward to how this one is received by the established fans and new readers alike.

The American edition of last year's Christmas offering
What is Myrrh Anyway? is out around October/November time. It's being published by
Skyhorse Publishing and it's called
Christmas Miscellany: Everything You Always Wanted to Know About Christmas. I've set up a new blog to accompany its release which you can
access here.

And then, just in time for Christmas (if I pull my finger out) is
Blood Royal, the fifth
UQ PB adventure and the start of a new four-book story arc. You're not going to want to miss this one.
And then in the new year... well, let's just say, there's plenty more where that came from...
