Hungarian sculptors have taught me that the best way to deal with a dragon is to strip naked and punch it out.

It's a pity that the Locked Library edition is sold out. Look how nice it is!

Now I know why I'm on the nautical archeology starter pack. I had thought it was because of my extensive knowledge of shipwrecks ... but no...

Exciting to see these new covers for Prince of Thorns and King of Thorns from my French publishers. Art from Mikael Bourgouin replacing the original (excellent) work by Jason Chan which has served for nearly 15 years.

Hungarians! I've just signed a bunch of my books in the Libri at Mammut shopping centre, Budapest, and more at the Libri by Nyugati train station! Go grab one 😊 Some had black pages so I signed a page earlier.

I signed this many copies of The Bookshop Book for a large number of bookshops! It took a while even with a team of expert helpers.

Got this from David Walters - "an irreverent tale of brave adventurers, a fearsome dragon, and the importance of bedtime" I called it!

The Broken Binding sent an email around with a poll where you can register your desire for them to produce a special edition of Daughter of Ruin to go with their Daughter of Crows edition. If you want one, you should go click to let them know :)

If you could stop what you're doing right now and buy one of my books instead, that would be much appreciated. Ta.

I signed books at @waterstones.bsky.social Victoria, Piccadilly, Kings Road, Trafalgar Square, Covent Garden, Holborn, Gower Street, and Nottinghill! So if you're in central London, there should be a signed me-book on a shelf near you. (photo - my signature over the years)

The Locked Library has just issued a low stock warning for their special edition of The Bookshop Book 🙂 just a heads up for those that are still on the fence.

0154

Mark Lawrence @marklawrenceauthor.bsky.social · 16/07/2026

And now everyone can get a copy of the special edition, if they're quick off the mark! Hopefully someone will post the way to get there - if I did that, you'd never have seen this post.

Mark Lawrence @marklawrenceauthor.bsky.social · 15/07/2026

Today Locked Library people get early access to The Bookshop Book special edition! Tomorrow at 2pm, gen pop can grab one too, while stocks last 🙂

Got this fine hardcover of @adrianmgibson.bsky.social’s new book - connected to his Mushroom Blues that so very nearly won the 10th SPFBO.
