We are going to make a decision on the paperback after we have 6 months sales on the kindle version, so by the end of the year I will know. Oathbreaker is available in paperback though if you haven’t read it yet, it’s a prequel to The Centurion’s Son (less)

A brilliant book! Anyone involved in publishing should read. A satirical look at the industry with an underlying important message, and a POV character who feels the feelings all writers have at some point in their careers. I loved it!

Templar Traitor by Angus Donald

I do love an Angus Donald book. His Outlaw series about Robin Hood is the gold standard for historical fiction, and his Last Beserker books have flown off the shelves, so I was excited to get a read of his next project.

The Ninth instalment of the Mallory Saga!

Have to start with commending the author for having the perseverance to write nine books set in the same 'world' so to speak. Anything more than a trilogy for me is too much! But he's done it, all I can do is
