My third novel, HERO COME HOME, officially has a cover! Preorderable from the usual places us.macmillan.com/books/978125...

The cover of my third novel, HERO COME HOME. Four human figures centred, the main image being that of a bearded man looking back over his shoulder (that's Oro, the protagonist), with a circle of symbols behind him. We can see a swan and a key. In the foreground are three people: two women, one with a mysterious marking? scar? who knows!? on her cheek and the other carrying a sword, flanking an older, balding man holding up a pistol. The possibly-scarred woman looks ever so slightly amused, and that is certainly very like her. Everybody else is not happy to be here, or indeed, anywhere

My review of Cadwell Turnbull's A Ruin, Great and Free is out now in Strange Horizons!

@danhartland.bsky.socialSep 25, 2026, 3:13 PMReposted by @hramsaroop.bsky.social

Here’s @hramsaroop.bsky.social on the concluding volume of Cadwell Turnbull’s Convergence Saga:

“Over the course of the series, Turnbull paints a vast picture of an interconnected multiverse and the humans, monsters, and gods that live within it, highlighting the power of people coming together.”

This issue is full of writing that made me gasp and cry and laugh and rage. I’m still stunned and grateful that my first issue of Augur got to be this intense, this sharp. It was a true pleasure to work on ❤️‍🔥

Sorry to reshare this again but my mother underwent another surgery last week and then we learned that chemo had decimated her red blood cells so she's in hospital again. I'm extremely sick myself, so if you can chip in anything or share, it will help us both to stay alive. 😭🧿🫶
