It’s happened at last! My GrailQuest game book series from the 1980s is going digital. Here’s the official announcement from Tin Man games...

Fire*Wolf

Tin Man have just made their first announcement about their plans to bring my game books into the 21st Century as some of the most fantastic apps you are ever going to see on your computer, tablet or phone. Here’s the URL so you can read it for yourself:

I can’t begin to tell you how excited I am about this. Another announcement due soon.

Fantastic New Gamebook Project

I’ve a soft spot for game books. I wrote a few of my own back in the 80s. Tin Man will be reissuing them as apps before too long, incidentally. But that’s by the by. The reason I’m posting today is I’ve just got news of a hugely exciting project in this area. An outfit called Megara Entertainment are currently working on a game book called Arcana Agency: The Thief of Memories about a paranormal detective agency.

There’s been a bit of a game book revival recently, so no surprise there. But what makes this one special (apart from a quirky third-person plot line) is that these guys plan to bring the book out in hard back and full colour throughout. That’s a real collector’s item for gamers.

You can preorder your copy and help the whole project come to fruition at http://kck.st/TQX6gr. Check it out now.

Secret Prophecy Amazon Book of the Month

Just got the news. Amazon has selected The Secret Prophecy as a best book of the month for Middle Grade for November! BOM picks receive additional marketing support with month long rotating ads, carousels, additional quick promo links on the book page & email blasts to potential readers. Thanks for the vote of confidence, Amazon.

Secret Prophecy Now on Sale

The Secret Prophecy, my new conspiracy thriller novel for teens and up, described by the critics as ‘spellbinding,’ ‘outstanding’ and a ‘masterpiece’ (he reminds you modestly) is now on sale! I thought the day would never come. So far it’s only published in America, where you should be able to get it anywhere. It’s on Amazon, B&N and all the usual on-line outlets and you can even buy it on Amazon.uk if you can’t wait for a British publisher. I’m pleased with this one and I think you’ll like it.
