Where I’m at…

It’s been a while since I’ve updated this place, I know. And for that I’m sorry. Life is always busy and there’s only so much my brain can hold on to before important stuff starts to leak out.

Anyway. We’re into the second half of the year now (blimey!). I’ve delivered both Benfro book five – The Obsidian Throne – and McLean book seven – Oh I wish I could find a title my publishers and I both like – so it’s time to hit the campaign trail, so to speak. Here’s a list of places I will be in the upcoming months. If you’re in the neighbourhood for any of them, do come along and say hi. I’m not scary, really. Just a bit scatterbrained.
