Exctiting news of my forthcoming werewolf novel for Gollancz - Wolfsangel.
http://www.orionbooks.co.uk/HB-46276/Wolfsangel.htm


The book's set in the Viking age and the story of a werewolf caught in the schemes of the Norse gods.

Advanced review copies were sent out to leading authors just before Christmas and I'm really pleased to say the response has been excellent so far.

Adam Roberts, author of Yellow Blue Tibia and also a Guardian (UK national newspaper) book critic said of the book:

'A classic. Brilliant stuff. This is not a run of the mill Fantasy text; nor, really, is it even a riff upon those worn-smooth tropes. It is something genuinely strange, eerie, evocative.'

Joe Abercrombie, writing on his blog, said Wolfsangel
'manages to evoke the weirdness of the viking mindset to the point where even the normal people feel a lot more alien than most denizens of epic fantasy. It's savage, dark, strange and unpredictable, which are all good things in my book.'

Mike Carey - author of the bestselling Lucifer graphic novels and much good stuff besides,  has provided a quote for the cover, saying

'A unique take on the werewolf mythos, on the Norse pantheon and on magic itself. An enthralling, mesmerising book.'

Stephen Deas, author of The Adamantine Palace has said

'Sent chills down my spine. Dark, bloody and dangerous, you can almost smell the sweat and iron coming off the pages. There are a lot of werewolves coming our way this year, but Wolfsangel could well be the standard by which they will be judged for some years to come’

Detective fiction bestseller RJ Ellory said:

'A spellbinding and unputdownable fusion of historical and fantasy fiction that is sure to enchant devotees of both genres.'

It's due for publication in the UK on May 20, I'm appearing on panels at Eastercon and, I hope, putting in an appearance at Horrorcon (to be finalised).
