More Weapons
Safe to say the UK is well served with signed and limited and special content for The Devils, but I would HATE for my valued brethren across the pond in the USA to feel left out, so in devilish collaboration with Joel Daniel Phillips and his colleagues at Lit Escalates, we’re going to be offering some packages including signed copies of Tor’s US hardcover along with limited and unlimited entirely genuine relics based on Joel’s awesome icon-based internal art for the book.
Just to recap – even the supposedly standard (and who would dare use such a word) hardcover will include four of these spiritually enlivening illuminations on coloured endpapers, opening like a renaissance altarpiece, and four as black and white internal illustrations, along with a map (yes, I said it), AND I think some pretty glorious foil stamped boards beneath the dust jacket.
The packages available for preorder on the Lit Escalates site (who also do art and merchandising for Pierce Brown and VE Schwab) include the US hardcover (some unsigned, some signed by means of an exclusive book plate) along with posters, bookmarks, pins and other delights, while stocks last…
Christmas Charity Sale
For the first time in a while we’re selling off a range of as-new author editions from the Abercrombie archive this Christmas, from some standard UK mass market-paperbacks, via some hardcovers and boxed sets, to some rare limited editions from Subterranean Press and Curious King. They’re being auctioned on e-bay with all proceeds (after P&P) […]
Extra Events for The Wisdom of Crowds
Due to various unforeseeable circumstances, such as the Swansea branch of Waterstones flooding the evening before I was due to arrive (seriously, you can’t make it up), we had to shift the three extra Wisdom of Crowds events back a couple of weeks. Obviously it’s bad that the shop flooded, but the UPSIDE is that […]
Progress Report August ’20
Believe it or not, The Trouble With Peace is out in two short weeks, and the US and UK hardcovers are both in my possession: UK art by Tomas Almeida, US by Sam Weber and Lauren Panepinto, and both beautiful in their own pleasingly distinct and different ways. Promotion ramps up, as you’d imagine. You […]
A Little Hatred Publication Day
Let ring the bells, for my latest penny dreadful, A Little Hatred, is today published in the US and UK in hardcover, e-book and audiobook read by Steven Pacey. It’s been 7 years since my last novel in the First Law world, so thanks for your patience. Hopefully it will be richly rewarded, for The Age […]
UK Tour, Friends and Enemies
A little update to the UK tour happening in but a couple of weeks… Typically the lunchtime events are just a signing, open to all, the evening ones are reading, talk, questions then signing, or in a few cases, now, an ‘in conversation’ style event with a few friends o’ mine, which will generally take […]
A First Law Re-Read
The first step in the lengthy process of revising and rewriting my new trilogy is re-reading all the other First Law books, the details of which have become in some cases a little sketchy, I will confess, to make sure there’s nothing I’ve forgotten, or got wrong, no useful characters or relationships left out, no […]
Medio Rey (and other Spanish events)
The Spanish edition of Half a King, Medio Rey, is published tomorrow, May 7th by Penguin Random House’s new SF&F imprint Fantascy: There’s also going to be a Catalan edition in due course, I believe. I’m going to be in Barcelona to meet bloggers and booksellers and do some interviews, and will be signing on […]
Half the World Published in the UK
Half the World is published in the UK, let ring the bells! Signed copies have been leaking out via Waterstones for some time now, in fact, but Amazon and other retailers should be shipping and stocking as of today. The mass-market paperback of Half a King, meanwhile has already been out for a couple of weeks: […]
Half a King UK MMP Cover

You can find some […]
