THE SUNRISE DAGGER is officially OUT today. Apparently writing a fantasy sequel mostly consists of: - reopening the same chapter 50 times - bargaining with fictional characters - eating too much pasta alla carbonara And somehow… a book comes out of it. 1/4

The Sunrise Dagger is coming out at the end of the month, and I can’t wait to put this new chapter in your hands. More complex, darker, and more ambitious, it’s the best book we’ve ever written. Enjoy one of the new illustrations that adorn it. The title of this piece is “THE REBEL”

To the architects of the unseen, the ones building empires on the back of a napkin and birthing galaxies between the hours of midnight and dawn, the cartographers of the impossible: thank you.

We're almost there, THE SUNRISE DAGGER comes out on April 29. I’m excited, I’ll admit, and the initial feedback has me even more eager to share this story with you. I can’t wait! Enjoy one of the illustrations I drew myself for the second novel in the series. This piece is titled "The Spy."

Finished - Butcher's Folly by @nicksnapeauthor.bsky.social. I loved book 1 in this series and I was very excited to get back. And it did not disappoint. And I’m so ready, to read book 3. But I have to pace myself. Fun action and full of thrills. Be ready for a solid ride. Get your magboots on.

I told everyone I had 'extensive Sunday plans,' which is just an introvert code for sitting in a chair with a book I’ve been meaning to read for months, and only moving when the sun hits my eyes or I need more food. 1/2 👇🏼

Shamefully late, here is my written review of A Memory of Song by @scottpalmerauthor.bsky.social "For lovers of Grimdark and those who enjoy being challenged by a narrative that refuses to explain itself, this is a phenomenal achievement..." 🔗 👇🏼 www.sffinsiders.com/blog/review-...

I read A Dragon of The Veil by @nicksnapeauthor.bsky.social some time ago and found it deep, ambitious, original. Now the first novel in this series is back in a new guise, with an absolutely stunning cover, and with two sequels A City of Ashes, and A Queen in Blood 🔥

Dark, action-packed epic fantasy with a compelling protagonist. Snape throws you into a unique world where you have to piece together a truly alien invasion.
