Blog postFive years ago, the human race became independent as the Alphan Empire conceded it could no longer sustain its grip on Earth and withdrew, casting an unprepared humanity adrift on an interstellar sea of troubles. Since then, humanity has struggled mightily to secure its position in a galaxy full of hungry predators, many of whom see Earth as nothing more than a prize to be won.
Now, one of the galaxy’s superpowers has set its sights on Earth, launching a covert campaign to -
Blog postHi, everyone
The Stranded is something of an experiment – the basic idea is that a trio of magic kids in another universe (I thought about turning this into a Schooled in Magic spin-off, but decided against it) accidentally messed up a spell and found themselves unexpectedly transported to our world instead. As they struggle to adapt to the strange new (old) world, they draw attention from some very dangerous forces lurking in the shadows…
All comments are welcome; spell -
Blog postEmily and the White Council
A couple of people asked, after reading The Right Side of History, why the White Council (or at least elements of it) was so quick to throw Emily under the bus and do their hardest to get her tried, convicted and depowered/executed before anyone could do anything to stop them. They thought the issue came out of nowhere <grin>. It didn’t and here’s why.
In the real world – a dreadful place, I don’t recommend a visit – one of the pri -
Blog postChapter Fifteen
I hadn’t planned it that way.
I’d known some degree of land reform was pretty much inevitable, if I wanted to turn the lands I’d been granted into a money-making fiefdom, but I hadn’t intended to go so far. I’d hoped, when I’d had time to think about it, that I could start a more gradual progress towards reform, yet … when I’d realised how bad things had become, I’d seen no choice but to get the ball rolling as quickly as possible. I hadn’t even con -
Blog postHi, everyone
It has been a very frustrating few weeks.
To sum up a long story, my youngest son caught a cold that spread to me very quickly, only worse. It felt like a normal cold at first, then things got a lot worse. I was already congested and miserable, but I suddenly develop a major attack of sinusitis that felt as though I had broken my nose. I had to beg the doctor for antibiotics and got them, which seem to be having at least some effect on me. -
Blog postChapter Thirteen
“It is unforgivable!”
I sat in my seat, in the council chamber, and watched as Sir Essex ranted to the assembled councillors. He’d been going on and on for nearly an hour, after summoning the meeting and demanding the immediate presence of all the king’s councillors. It was a grim reminder for me that the king’s power was very limited, that he couldn’t deny his councillors if they united against him. I was tempted to suggest I led a brigade o -
Blog postChapter Twelve
The problem, I discovered, was that I simply had too many irons in the fire.
Some of them could be left to others, at least some of the time. Others needed to be handled by me personally, either because I was the only one who knew what I was talking about or – worse – because the people I needed to work with refused to work with anyone, but me. I wanted – I needed – to create a staff that could handle the day-to-day jobs, yet my subordinates were com -
Blog postChapter Eleven
“So … you’re saying I own the factory?”
I took a breath, trying to hide my irritation. Lord Rollins was not an idiot – I kept telling myself that – but he had extreme trouble coming to grips with ideas that were even slightly outside his context. He’d already reached and passed his boggle point and his thoughts were spinning helplessly, unable to come to terms with the concept in front of him. And I was tempted – very tempted – to walk away. -
Blog postI went back and forwards on a lot of these titles – there are the ones that got me into alternate history, or inspired my writing, and/or made a major impression on the field. I don’t pretend they’re the best of the best, but most of them strike a good balance between literature and pulp (with a couple of pure literature books).
YMMV, as always.

Blog postI’ve been doing a little brainstorming (too ill to write properly) and listed the planned next set of Emily-POV books. Nothing is finalised yet, of course, but what do you think?
-The Demon’s Design (The last of the old DemonMasters or the first of the new?)
-Wolf in the Fold (classified)
-The Promised Land (on the far side of the Blighted Lands, an ancient evil is uncovered)
-The Apprentice Master (Emily takes an apprentice)
-Devil-Land (a king c
