DAWN is out now! Have a look here for a selection of online stores where you can buy it, or just pop into your local bookstore.
Tomorrow I head off to Toronto for the World Horror Convention. I didn't get to any conventions last year apart from the British Fantasy Con, so I'm really looking forward to making it across the water again, visiting Canada for the first time and catching up with loads of friends I haven't seen for at least 18 months. Bloody Atlantic ... can't someone build a bridge, or something?
If you're visiting the Convention, please come up and say Hi.
More soon! Happy reading.

I received copies of my new novel DAWN yesterday, and boy it looks FANTASTIC! A gorgeous Bantam Spectra trade paperback, this sequel to DUSK looks just as gorgeous as that first novel ... and is even a little longer. Check the website for details of where you can preorder the novel.
I'm a good way into the next Noreela novel right now, almost 90,000 words in fact, and it's going well. It's called FALLEN, and it's set a long time before DUSK and DAWN. It's a big challenge for me, this novel, and I'm thoroughly enjoying writing it.
Chris Golden and I are also currently heading into our first collaborative novel MIND THE GAP. This is the first Novel of the Hidden Cities (we're contracted for two so far with Bantam Spectra, and hopefully it'll be an ongoing series). We're very excited at how it's going, and I'm confident it'll be a thrilling book. No cats out of bags yet ... but believe me, it'll be fun.
My new horror novel THE EVERLASTING is out soon from Necessary Evil Press ... it's a limited run, so get your orders in soon as it's selling fast.
In a couple of weeks I'll be at the World Horror Convention in Toronto. I'm on a couple of panels, I'll be at the mass signing and I'm also doing a reading, but between all that please do come up and say 'Hi'. I'm the short bald Brit.
Happy reading!

Along with a load of other writers I'm doing some teaching at a big evenst in Leicester soon - check out below!

Join horror maestros Sarah Pinborough, Tony Richards and World Horror Grand Master Ramsey Campbell on a journey into the heart of fear itself.

Utopia vs. Dystopia
Tuesday 6th March, 6:30pm
LCB Depot, Rutland Street
FREE
Utopia: an ideal place or state
Dystopia: a society characterized by human misery
What will the future hold for society? A perfect world where gene therapies create virtual immortality, robot labour makes work a thing of the past and artificial intelligence brings about world peace? Or will the computers set out to exterminate humanity, with the help of catastrophic climate change and a new generation of weapons of mass destruction? Are we heading for a utopian dream, or a dystopian nightmare.
Imagining the future is all part of a days work for science fiction writers Ian Watson and Paul McAuley. Join them as they discuss our possible tomorrows in this special event presented as part of Café Culturel and the Fantastic! live literature season.
Fantastic! Leicester
Thursday 5th April, 7pm
Leicester Adult Education Centre, Wellington Street
FREE - but book in advance to avoid disappointment.

Science fiction and fantasy can take us from ancient worlds of myth to the farthest star in a distant galaxy, but how much are writers of the fantastic influenced by the real world. Mark Chadbourn, author of The Age of Misrule trilogy, bestselling science fiction novelist Pater F Hamilton and world fantasy award winner Graham Joyce reveal how fantastic fiction can have its roots even in places as real as Leicester. Presented by Leicester Writers Club as part of the Fantastic! Event season.
