Cover reveal – Confluence

Our editor sent us the cover for Confluence a few days ago, but we haven’t been able to reveal it until now.

Look!

The cover for Confluence. Linesman book three. The book is coming in November.

Isn’t it awesome.

The artist is Bruce Jensen, who did the first two covers. What a trifecta.

Enter the giveaway over at The Qwillery.

Over at The Qwillery they’re giving away a copy of both LINESMAN and ALLIANCE. Even better, it’s open to anyone in the world.

We’ve also got a guest post over there.

If you haven’t been to The Qwillery’s site before, it’s worth a visit, for they feature debut science fiction and fantasy authors. It’s a great place to get an idea of new authors coming into the field, and a feel of whether you think their book sounds like something you read.

Look, it’s a book

Today we received an advance copy of Alliance.

A book. A real book. It looks good.

The finished book.  Did the page 99 test, opened it to a page, and started reading. (Except it wasn’t page 99, it was where the book opened naturally.)

It was good. Kept reading.

Very happy.

Merry Christmas.

This year has gone so fast.  It’s hard to believe we’ve had one book published and the second is only two months away.

To celebrate, we’ve put up the first chapter of Alliance.

Enjoy.

ALLIANCE – ARCs

Received these from Penguin Random House a couple of days ago.

AllianceARCs
Uncorrected proofs, also known as advance reader copies (ARCs) and also known as galleys (short for galley proof).

Can you believe, we’ve both been so busy at work we haven’t had time to tweet about it.

These advance reader copies still contain some typos and other errors, but look, it’s a real book.
