2nd May! As ever, The Book Depository is your friend if you don’t live in the UK. Free postage worldwide. Probably cheaper than waiting for it to come out in your own country.

Hear Frey talk!
Keen followers of the comments section will already know that there is an audio version of Retribution Falls available to buy, narrated by Rupert Degas, who does a bang-up job even if I do say so myself. Here’s a sample so you can check it out! Retribution Falls The file is available from Audible either […]
Ace of Skulls Blurb
The back-jacket summary is up on Amazon now, so I guess it’s out there. Consider yourself blurbed, people! (NOTE – SPOILERS FOR PREVIOUS BOOKS IN THIS TEXT. DON’T LOOK IF YOU HAVEN’T READ THE FIRST THREE) Everyone still with me who wants to be? Good. Just […]
The Ace Of Skulls is done! (Part 2)
By which I mean I’ve actually delivered it now, all edited and everything. Almost exactly a year after I started plotting it. Man, this one took me a long time! As ever, the feeling of delivery is actually kinda anticlimactic. I email it away to my editor, I look around the empty room a bit, […]
Word Counts
Out of interest: Retribution Falls: 133,423 The Black Lung Captain: 158,801 The Iron Jackal: 174,904 The Ace Of Skulls (rough draft): 183,609 See the trend there?

Christmas Breeaaaaaaakkkk!!
Ah, Christmas. When I was a spry young thing I used to work 7 days a week, more or less, and Christmas was faintly annoying because it’s very hard to write while drunk and food is oozing out of your every orifice. But now I’m a raddled old shell of a man I actually have […]
Titan Books to Release The Iron Jackal and The Ace of Skulls in the US
Wow, you didn’t have to be patient for long! So here’s the news. I’m very pleased to announce that Titan Books are picking up the Ketty Jay series in the US. The first two books were published by Spectra but when the editor who commissioned them left the company, the series was stuck in limbo for […]
Patience, Patience
Been a while. As it stands, I’m almost three quarters through The Ace Of Skulls, and I’ve completed the frankly epic task of editing The Twilight War (which is Act One of Broken Sky for all you old-schoolers, not a battle between glittery vampire bad-boy cliches over the heart of a simpering loser with no will of her […]
