Standing at the Crossroads

Posted on September 20, 2013January 18, 2017 by Shevdon

Recently I wrote a piece for Bastard Books about standing at the crossroads of writing and the decisions I am making about what comes next. There is a brief extract below, but click the link for the full article:

With the completion of the fourth and final book in The Courts of the Feyre I find myself at a cross-roads. Up until now I’ve styled myself as an Urban Fantasy Author, because that’s what I’ve written and it makes it easier for readers who are likely to enjoy my work to find me. For most people, though, urban fantasy isn’t a genre, and the words urban and fantasy simply don’t mean anything together. I might as well say goldfish collider for all the sense it makes to them. (Now I have an image of two goldfish swimming around a giant toroidal tank in opposite directions until they collide and scales and fins fly off in spiral patterns. That’s what an imagination will do to you. Be warned.) Click here to go to the full article…

Sixty-One Nails
When Niall Petersen has a heart attack on the London Underground, it's not the end, it's the beginning....

The Road to Bedlam
"There's been an accident - It's your daughter." This is the news no parent ever wants to hear....

Strangeness and Charm
Alex has been released from the fate awaiting her in Bedlam, but others have also escaped and they don't want freedom, they want revenge.

Tensions run high in the courts with suspicion and doubt testing old alliances. A mongrel court is the last thing the Seventh Court want, but how far will they go to prevent it?
