Blog postTHERE ARE MEGA-LEVEL SPOILERS FOR ‘LITTLE WITCHES‘ HERE. READ AT YOUR OWN RISK.
Prologue I
The room stank of fear.
Constance, Lady in Waiting to Queen Francoise of Alluvia, pulled her dress around her as the noise from beyond the walls grew louder. Night was falling, but the city outside was cast into sharp relief by towering infernos. The riots had become a revolution, crowds of rebels and thugs throwing lighted torches into the homes of the great and the6 days ago Read more -
Blog postBloodsworn by Tej Turner “Classic Epic Fantasy. I enjoyed it enormously.”
–Anna Smith Spark
“Everyone from Jalard knew what a bloodoath was. Legendary characters in the tales people told to their children often made such pacts with the gods. By drawing one’s own blood whilst speaking a vow, people became ‘Bloodsworn’.
And in every tale where the oath was broken, the ending was always the same. The Bloodsworn died.”

Blog postPrologue
The Chiltern Lodge, Stephen Rubén had decided long ago, had been built by someone who wanted to convince his guests that he was still a man of power and influence. It had taken Stephen a few days of digging in the family achieve, a punishment set by his father decades ago, to determine he’d been correct. The lodge had been constructed for a loser in the endless struggles for power over the family, a particularly sore loser who’d taken his failings out on th1 week ago Read more -

Chapter Eight
The question mocked me as I purchased some food from a roadside stall and forced myself to eat it. Why should anyone listen to me? I was no one. I wasn’t a warlord or a magician or even a wealthy merchant. Hell, for all I knew, I was missing something. There were no shortage of horror stories about ignorant do-gooders who’d made things worse because they didn’t really know what was going on. Sure, buying food staples1 week ago Read more -

Chapter Seven
I couldn’t say I was surprised.
Not really, not after I’d killed the three knights. Clearly, there was something going on I didn’t understand. It was a grim reminder that I was a stranger in a strange land. Jasmine could have stopped them and yet … I didn’t understand. I promised myself I’d think about it later, when I had time. The bodies were cooling, and the Diddakoi were burying them2 weeks ago Read more -
Blog postChapter Six
We left the following morning, bright and early.
I couldn’t believe just how clean the air was, after a week in the city. It was hot and dry – I thought I could taste sand with every breath I took – and yet it was so pure. The stench of human sweat and waste that had pervaded the city was gone, blown away by the smell of fields and pollen. I thought I could taste sand in the air, whenever the wind shifted slightly, but I didn’t mind. It was2 weeks ago Read more -
Blog postI find it hard to put my feelings regarding She-Ra and the Princesses of Power into words because, in many ways, they depend on points of view. The final season was not a bad season, unlike – for example – Battlestar Galactica – but, at the same time, it represented something of an abandonment of its previous concept. The show expanded to the point it could handle an ensemble cast, yet this weakened many of the characters. Indeed, the whole thing was let down – to some exten2 weeks ago Read more

Blog postAs you know, Little Witches came out just before Christmas (Happy Christmas) and, pretty much immediately afterwards, I finished the first draft of The Right Side of History, which picks up immediately after Little Witches. I’m hoping to get the eBook out by mid-February, but obviously it depends on editing and cover designing. After that, my rough plan is to write The Face of the Enemy and Child of Destiny in February and April respectively. After that …

From the ashes of one galactic war stirs an ever greater threat in an epic new Kat Falcone series from bestselling author Christopher G. Nuttall.
A year ago, the war against the Theocracy ended. But it didn’t bring peace.
Admiral Kat Falcone was lucky—her side won the war. But without an external threat, Kat’s homeworld government, the Commonwealth, begins to burst. The galactic war may be over, but there is a civil war on the horizon.
The king and parliament disagree over the Commonwealth’s future. The Commonwealth’s first recession is plaguing corporations. Hundreds of thousands of people have lost their jobs. And the colonies are demanding their share of power. The Commonwealth has become a ticking time bomb, just waiting to explode.
Meanwhile, the Theocracy is making one final, desperate bid for power. As the external threat looms and the internal threat grows ever larger, Kat and William will need to join forces in order to save the Commonwealth. But it may already be too late.
An uncivil war in space sends a planet spinning out of control in the next thrilling Kat Falcone novel by bestselling author Christopher G. Nuttall.
The Commonwealth has fractured, its interstellar order breaking down into civil war. On one side is Hadrian, the outlaw king of Tyre, driven from his homeworld and forced into a fragile alliance with the colony worlds; on the other sits a parliament determined to restrain him at all costs. The time for talk is over. The matter can be settled only by war.
Loyal to the king, Admiral Kat Falcone leads her fleets into battle, joined by allies with motives of their own. But her friend and former comrade Commodore William McElney has chosen to join the Houses of Parliament. They now find themselves on opposing sides of a civil war, trapped into waging a series of battles that neither wants to fight but that they dare not lose. And as shadows and secrets come to light, they may find themselves watching helplessly as the war tears the universe they fought for apart.
In five years of heavy fighting, humanity and its alien allies have steadily been pushed back towards Earth, towards the very heart of humanity itself. The virus is steadily wearing the defences down, mounting campaign after campaign to infect and enslave every other alien race. The only hope rests with newer and better weapons, with technology that may turn the tide, but can the weapons and starships be deployed in time?
HMS Lion and HMS Unicorn are two new ships, designed to take the war to the enemy and tip the balance of power in humanity’s favour. But with untested technology, clashes between their commanding officers and trouble below decks, they may find themselves facing more than they can handle ...
... And the odds of coming home are very low.
But there is a complication. Six years ago, Emily made a promise to the Unseelie Court, swearing to give them whatever they wanted in exchange for their help. Now, that promise has been called in. The Unseelie want her to travel into the Blighted Lands, despite the risk, and carry out a mission for them. And if she refuses, she’ll die.
Emily has no choice. Gathering an army, recruiting old friends and foes and preparing new weapons, she sets out to challenge the necromancers in their lair, to complete the oath and win time for the Allied Land to prepare their defenses, to face the true horror of the Blighted Lands ...
... And aware, all too aware, that the necromancers know she’s coming.
It’s a star system fight to the death to be on the right side of history in the final explosive Kat Falcone novel by bestselling author Christopher G. Nuttall.
The Commonwealth Civil War has stalemated, but both sides—desperate to win at all costs—are looking for ways to end the fighting before everything they’ve built is turned to ash. King Hadrian, on the edge of madness, searches for allies who might help, at a price. His enemies, all too aware the battle is far from won, search for long-forgotten truths that might tear the king’s forces apart and end the war in a single blow. For Admiral Kat Falcone and Commodore William McElney, caught on opposite sides, everything they’ve ever loved is at stake.
William knows a secret, a secret that may end the war if he and his friend Kat can work together long enough to use it. But powerful forces are arrayed against them, intent on fighting the war to the bitter end. One false move and they’ll both fall into fire…
…And hundreds of planets will burn with them.
Lucy Lamplighter, returning to her home after her father’s death, intends to save her family by any means necessary. Gambling everything she has left, she stakes it all on a desperate bid to rebuild House Lamplighter before the vultures begin to swoop. But she’s playing with fire ...
... And those who play with fire often get burnt.
But as Void introduces her to levels and layers of magic she never even knew existed, she finds herself fighting desperately to keep up, to defeat challenge after challenge to prove her worth to study under him ... perhaps, even, to survive a training course that has killed other — lesser — magicians.
And, when Void sends her to a kingdom she's never visited, on a mysterious mission she has to figure out for herself, she finds herself facing a choice that could destroy her ...
... Or unleash a nightmare that could destroy an entire kingdom.
“And down will come baby, cradle and all.”
The Galactic Empire is dying. In their high towers, the Grand Senators plot and struggle to grasp a larger share of power while on the streets, the poor struggle to survive just one more day. Chaos and anarchy are running through the megacities of Earth, while giant corporations tighten the screws and colony worlds plot to declare independence and escape the Empire’s increasing demands for resources. Centuries of mismanagement are finally catching up with the human race. The end cannot be long delayed.
Specialist Belinda Lawson, a Marine Pathfinder who survived the fighting on Han, is assigned to serve as a bodyguard to the Childe Roland, the Heir to the Imperial Throne, and attempt to prepare him to be Emperor. But Roland is a puppet and a spoilt brat – and, perhaps, the only hope of saving the Empire, if he can be redeemed in time.
And yet, as shadowy figures prepare to make their final bid for apotheosis – or nemesis – it may be all she can do to keep her young charge alive.
Earth has fallen. The Core Worlds have collapsed into chaos. War is breaking out everywhere as planetary governments declare independence, entire sectors slip out of contact and warlords battle for power. The remnants of the once-great Empire are tearing themselves apart. And, in the shadows, the Terran Marine Corps works to save what little they can to preserve civilisation and build a better tomorrow. But now they might have met their match.
The marines have seized control of the corporate world of Hameau, only to discover that Hameau is merely the tip of the enemy iceberg and that the battle is still very much undecided. Cut off from their brethren, the marines fight desperately to hold their ground while millions of innocent civilians are caught in the middle ...
... And all too aware that whoever wins the war will determine the fate of the entire galaxy.
