Bedford Signing – Sat 5th December
Posted by Mike in Events Schedule on December 3, 2009
For those of you in the Bedford area, I will be at Waterstones on Silver Street in Bedford on Saturday 5th December for a signing and ‘meet the author’ type event. The event starts about 10am and will go on until we either run out of books or I get really hungry, probably about 3pm either way.
The team at Waterstones have been most supportive and we are looking forward to a good day, so come along and get your copy signed or just say, Hi.
See you there!
Publication Day
Posted by Mike in Events Schedule on October 29, 2009
I hope you will join me in celebrating the publication of Sixty-One Nails, my debut novel, which is available from today.
When Niall Petersen has a heart Attack on the London Underground he thinks it’s the end. It’s only the beginning.
He is revived by an old lady who greets him with the cold solace that a creature from another world was trying to possess his newly dead corpse. By reviving him she has prevented the crossing, but now the creature will know him. It will be able to find him, and when it does it will kill him and his fourteen year-old daughter.
Sixty-One Nails is about Niall’s quest to survive and to find a way to protect his daughter. It builds on the core of English folk-lore and real history like the Quit Rents Ceremony which has been performed annually in the Royal Courts of Justice since 1211 and is the oldest legal ceremony in England apart from the coronation.
Sixty-One Nails is published by the very excellent Angry Robot Books and is available from most good book shops and online retailers. You can also click on the sidebar image to be taken to an online emporium.
Fly, Robot, Fly!

Lovely to see so many friendly faces at the Angry Robot Launch at Forbidden Planet on Saturday. A fantastic time was had by all and it was great talking to friends old and new. The Forbidden Planet crew did a great job of managing the chaos. In particular, thanks go to Danie for being such a delightful and charming host.
Amidst the mayhem, the wonderful Dan Abnett was busily signing copies of Triumff, his swashbuckling alternate-elizabethan romp. Statuesque Andy Remic was charming fans of Kell’s Legend without the aid of a giant two-headed axe, and Colin Harvey had shaken off the man-flu to power up the starship Winter Song for a recidivist Icelandic SF planet-freezing powerhouse. We even managed to sign a precious few advanced copies of Sixty-One Nails – now don’t you wish you were there?
All of this was helped along splendidly by Angry Robot’s masked avenger, Lee Harris,and the robot mastermind, Marc Gascoigne.
