The Trouble With Peace (Virtual) Tour
The Trouble With Peace is out in but 18 days, people. Due to the ravages of Covid, the usual practice of filling a bookshop shoulder to shoulder with people who then queue up to be breathed on by an author has rapidly fallen in popularity. But if the thought of NOT seeing me talk about myself uninterrupted for an hour or two brings you out in hives, do not despair! Those clever folk at my publishers Gollancz and Orbit have teamed up to put on several virtual book events in association with some of the US and UK’s foremost purveyors of fine literature. Some will be in the company of guests already announced (including narrator extraordinaire Steven Pacey), some will be in the company of guests yet to be announced, and some will be one man shows. Follow the links to find out more and book your spot…

A Little Hatred UK Tour
I’ll be touring the UK for the release of A Little Hatred between 15th and 21st September, and the dates and locations are now out there… Typically the lunchtime events are just a signing, the evening ones are reading, talk, questions then signing. There’ll be copies of A Little Hatred available at all these events, of […]
Madrid, Aviles, London, Harrogate
A few appearances coming up over the next few months. 19th July, 19.00 – Espacio Fundación Telefónica, Madrid – I’m going to be talking about my books and stuff with Spanish author Juan Gomez-Jurado. I’ve been told to expect some other hijinks but my Spanish is nowhere near good enough to decipher the further details which are […]
Sharp Ends UK Tour
I’m going to be doing a quick 5 day tour in the UK in April for the release of Sharp Ends. We shall be visiting London, Liverpool, Manchester, Leeds, Newcastle, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Bristol and Bath. Daytime events tend to be just the quick meet and greet, shake of hands, sign the book. Evening events come with […]
Progress Report September ’15
It’s been a bit of a whirlwind of a past few months, but a lot of overseas trips are now behind me. Half a War is out in English with many more languages to follow, and The First Law trilogy has been republished in the US by Orbit, so I’ve entered a brief period of (relative) […]
One Week until Half a War…
Half a War comes out in the UK in hardcover, e-book and audiobook in but 7 short days. Here be its cover… And here be its blurb… Words are weapons Princess Skara has seen all she loved made blood and ashes. She is left with only words. But the right words can be as deadly […]
Konigsschwur and German Events
I’m going to be visiting Germany for the first time (other than a lightning overnight visit to the Frankfurt book fair last year) in June. Only a couple of events in Berlin and Stuttgart this time around, I’m afraid, at the Otherland Bookstore in Berlin and at the Dragon Days Festival in Stuttgart, but I […]
Half a War UK Tour
Half a War is out in the UK on the 16th July, and I will be a-touring in Scotland and England once again that week. We’re trying to take in a few places we didn’t reach last time, including Preston, just down the road from Lancaster where I grew up… Sunday 12th July 1.00PM – Signing at Waterstones, 128 […]
Forbidden Planet, Australia, Dubai
Details for a few forthcoming events. The UK tour for Half a King was but seven months ago, so we’re not doing a full tour this time around, just the one UK event at Forbidden Planet London, who have supported me with every book I’ve brought out, right back to The Blade Itself: Sunday 8th February, […]
