Rights. It’s a hot topic at the moment and something i’ve been asked about incessantly. Nobody wants to get rights wrong. Would that make them wrongs then? I digress. I’ve been wracking my brains for the last few months trying to get my head around how I take on the thorny subject. On the one […]
Two rights don’t make a wrong. I hope. Read More »
It’s been a little while since I gave a proper update, and there is good reason for that as i’ve been very busy behind the scenes. I’m incredibly pleased and proud to announce that Curious King’s first published book/series will be Joe Abercrombie’s “First Law” trilogy, starting with The Blade Itself! This is one of

I’ve been a little quiet for the last month or so, and wanted to post an update on Ready Player One and Curious King in general – so here it is! Ready Player One It’s still moving in the right direction and progress is good, but it’s not as far along as it should be

I sent something pretty similar to this out as a “newsletter” to the buyers of RPO and a few people who had requested updates. But that means only those subscribers are aware of the progress, which doesn’t seem right. What is a newsletter if not a blog post emailed? Anyway. For those interested, progress on
It look longer than expected, but we’re finally here. The full details (or most of them, at least) for my rebind of Ready Player One! As mentioned several times, Ready Player One by Ernest Cline is a particular favourite of mine. As a lifelong geek and gamer, the story seriously appealed to me. Add this to the awesome concept of the Oasis and the hunt
I realised in my last post that I said I may be able to release details of the title and potentially even take pre-order before Christmas. Well I was wrong. Upon my last (and very fruitful) trip to the amazing Ludlow Bookbinders I was advised that it would be very unlikely the prototype would be finished before Christmas. Something

I haven’t updated this blog for a while, in fact I only have one post on here. Whoops. Well you can consider this an update. After embarking on my Gardens of the Moon personal project, I had been thinking about going all the way and setting up a limited run publisher – I have loads of ideas
