I’ve been waiting to update this blog because I have news. But it’s not news that I can share until I’m told I can.
However, because publishing is publishing, time has dragged on, and now it has been overtaken by other news, which is this: Voidscarred, my next novel for Games Workshop, is up for pre-order this coming Saturday, the 20th September!
Voidscarred is a novel about Aeldari Corsairs, the interstellar pirates of that species. More specifically, it’s about Myrin Stormdawn, a baron of the Starsplinters engaged in a long-running war with Ork Freebooterz, who finds he has to ally with Taenar Leotharian, a newly-exiled admiral from the same craftworld to which Myrin himself once belonged. I had a lot of fun digging into the Aeldari psyche and exploring what makes them different to us; and what makes each of their branches different to each other, and how they can come together into the strange society that Corsairs must be.
So far as I know, all the editions are going up for sale at the same time, so you should be able to choose between ebook, audiobook, and hardcover or special edition – if you’re quick, for the last two, since physical copies tend to sell out fast (encouraging for us authors, understandably frustrating for readers). The regular edition has lovely cover art of the Starsplinters in action, whereas the special edition has wonderful iconography, some of which I believe was done by legendary Eldar/Aeldari designer and sculptor Jes Goodwin himself!
Anyway, I hope all those of you who want a physical copy get one, and I’ll hopefully be able to update this blog before too long with the other news I was looking forward to sharing…
