Along with the other authors who were signed by HarperVoyager's UK office for their digital-first project, I am taking part in a brilliant set of events next week unde the title of VirtualVoyager. Run by the good people at the publishers from Monday (3rd August) to Friday and with new stuff being put out every morning and afternoon, it will involve a series of giveaways, promos, interviews, Q&As, and much more and is already generating great interest in the SciFi/Fantasy community. It looks like it's going to be a lot of fun and it will be packed full of never-before-seen info on the authors, the characters and the background to the books. I'll try to keep you updated here as much as time allows, but your best and most immediate way of keeping track of it will be on Twitter using #VirtualVoyager. Well worth a look, I'd say!

Apologies for the lack of activity on the site but I have had to break off from nearly everything after being given a fairly short (well, fairly short to someone with a full-time job and a family) deadline for the second book of the Seeds of Destiny trilogy. The sequel to Hero Born is called Hero Grown and the first draft is intended to be finished by the end of October. So far I have got just over 40,000 words done, so about a quarter of the way there!
