I'm beyond proud of my good pal @padswa.bsky.social. He's one of the writers I most admire, because of his determination to pick himself up and keep writing brilliant fiction even after setbacks and rejections. I'm sure DRAGONFLY's going to be a huge success. www.thebookseller.com/rights/harpe...

Hey all, not to sound sinister or anything but I AM MAKING A LIST. So if you're a reviewer/author who might be interested in my novella BEASTS OF THE WILD BLACK (I mean, it's space cats? But also serious SF) then dm me an email to pass on to my publisher. (More book dets in alt text)

Yes, it's cats* in mechs in space shooting stuff. But its also about trauma and the ethics of uplift and just wtf are we doing with our planet. I mean, they fly a ship called the Thunberg, so you can probably take an educated guess at what angle I'm coming to this from.

*and Bears and Rooks.

Graphic detailing main character Ryota.
Ogawa Ryota, Ryo to his friends, had everything ahead of him: as heir to the Scarlet Triple racing stable, he was rich, loved, and influential.
It was all a facade.
Constantly ignored and belittled by his father, who refuses to believe he is ready to lead the training programme for their dragons, Ryo smuggles a dragon out of the stable to enter an illegal night race.
She wins - but Ryo loses everything.

Graphic detailing main character Keaton.
Keaton Merriwether grew up in the Stink, the lowest, poorest part of Mantletown.
Working a dead end job to pay the bills, she lives for jockeying dragons in illegal night races, the only type of race she’s qualified to fly.
A chance encounter with Ryo leads to a breathtaking victory and then a devastating outcome. Keaton is arrested and thrown into prison, a convicted illegal racer.
From these twin ashes, a new stable will rise.

Absolutely *delighted* to wake up this morning to this fantastic review from John Dugdale in the Sunday Times! SOLITARY AGENTS is out now, from @headlinebooks.bsky.social, in hardback in the UK and in eBook and audio globally. I believe this will be this Sunday's issue, but is already online.

In A Reluctant Spy, David Goodman launched his series with a smart idea: civilians lending their identities (“legends”) to spooks. And for his follow-up he’s had another: a selection process in which MI6 candidates are given tasks and hunted by their MI5 counterparts, which goes horribly wrong when unknown gunmen infiltrate the exercise. Jamie, previously seen as a Richard Hannay-like gutsy amateur caught up in a real op, reappears as a would-be recruit in an equally impressive second outing that gains freshness from showing Brits breaking into British sites (from Rosyth docks to Gibraltar) rather than foreign bunkers and villains’ lairs.

Goodman again adroitly orchestrates a multistranded narrative, recalling Gerald Seymour’s portrayals of MI6 operations as the work of sizeable ensembles. This approach may take some getting used to if you prefer spy yarns to be as linear and herocentric as Ian Fleming’s; but it makes for an exhilarating blend of psychological probing — exploring where spook begins and civilian stops, in trainees and seasoned pros alike — and terrific action scenes.

Most excellent #book haul this week. First I was lucky enough to attend the launch of the extraordinary CAST AWAY by Francesca de Tores. An account of the historical marooning of Alexander Selkirk, the inspiration for Robinson Crusoe, you would not believe how much wanking is in this book.

A hardback copy of CAST AWAY by Francesca de Tores lying on some grass, taken by Child #2 (age 10) who fancies herself something of a photographer. The book is bright yellow with blue text, and a red woodcut of the historical protagonist, Alexander Selkirk, looking agonised(?)

Melissa is absolutely right. We might be traditionally published, and we might occasionally break out with a bestseller, but midlist authors are often neglected by publishers while the big titles suck up all the oxygen. There are some brave and exciting books out there that deserve a lot more hype!
