Well, the time since publication of New Pompeii have flown by… so I thought I’d share some of the highlights…!

…can’t begin to describe how much effort went into producing the content of this box!

On the shelves of Waterstones! (And brilliant, fantastic support from my local branch, thank you!)

…with my agent Ian Drury on publication day - trying not to be intimidated by all the great books in the Sheil Land library!

…and my editor, the marvellous Miranda Jewess!

…with Lydia Gittins (Titan Publicity), gently encouraging (ordering!) me out of my writing shell (Thank you!)!

Panelling! (With other proper authors!!!)

…doing a reading at the first Humber SFF. (And very much enjoyed my trips to the Sheffield and York groups too, as well as the Super Relaxed Fantasy Club in London. Absolutely great to be able to meet so many nice people, and hear top authors read from their books and doing Q&A)

…the Czech version of New Pompeii - Nové Pompeje!

New Pompeii on the London Underground!

…and reviews of my books in the Financial Times, The Guardian, The Sun, The Sunday Sport, The Morning Star, SFX, Sci Fi Now, Starburst; the FT and Morning Star Books of 2016 lists; the many blog reviews; meeting great authors and readers, signing books…

Phew!
