Mike’s current series: The Courts of the Feyre

I wrote the first book in the series while I was commuting in and out of London to my day-job in an office building in Lower St Martin’s Lane, just up from Trafalgar Square. I am quite an observant person and I would often notice things on my journey of which my fellow travellers would be completely unaware. More than once I stopped to see something and would earn a rebuke from people who would nearly collide with me, simply because I stopped walking. I began to think that any number of things could happen in that city and no-one would even notice. In me, it prompted the author’s question – why is that?

Thus begins Sixty-One Nails – the first book in the series where Niall is commuting to a busy day at work and has a heart attack – an event which should have killed him except for the intervention of an old lady who introduces herself as Blackbird.

In the links below you can explore the series:

 

Book One: Sixty-One Nails – in which our hero discovers that there is another world alongside our own, unnoticed by the crowds of commuters, a world in which creatures unimagined will bargain, snare and trap the unwary, or hunt them down for sport.

Book Two: The Road to Bedlam – what happens to the people who find them suddenly gifted with the power to read the wind, call fire to their will, see the future, make themselves invisible? Niall’s daughter is about to find out.

Book Three: Strangeness and Charm – Released from captivity, the gifted humans now make their own rules, and not everyone has the best intentions.

Book Four: The Eighth Court – When the gifted humans can find no place in the Courts of the Feyre, what else can they do but form their own? There are sone, though, who will go to extraordinary lengths to make sure that never happens.

Book Five: TBA

    Hi Justin, sorry but there’s nothing in the immediate future, though there are things in development. Life has been challenging for the past few years, but hopefully things are improving now. I’ve mostly been active on FB rather than here, as this takes a lot of maintenance.

    It’s been 6 years since any activity here. I’m assuming there are no other books coming out?

    No worries Mike. As long as we know something will come eventually, we tend to have a lot more patience and are thankful for all the hard work you do with your writing.

    Hope all is well. Cheers!

    So any news on a new book in the series?

    I’ve loved the series, but is the Amazon price for The Eight Court accurate? I doubt even our local library would stock a book that sells for around $1000.00 USD. I barely bring that home in a month,

    any updates on another book in the courts of the feyre? possibly a film adaption? I haven’t gotten a newsletter in a while and it makes me think that you’ve been busy, I only hope that this means more books.

    What about Odeya Rush?

    Just promise your fans that if you do happen to adapt the books to the big screen that you will be super involved. We don’t what a movie company to screw up this book series like Percy Jackson got screwed up.

    Ya, she would be great but I cant get past the fact that she is almost thirty.

    I think I would nominate Alexandra Daddario as Alex. She already has the name, and perfect eyes for the role.
