I'm No.1 today on this Amazon chart. Huge thanks to all of you who bought a copy of my latest Robin Hood novel. Couldn't do this job without all of you lovely readers
These beauties arrived today – my author copies from Amazon! www.amazon.co.uk/Robin-Hood-G...
Robin Hood and the Holy Grail is out now in paperback and eBook – this is the very last novel in the much-loved Outlaw Chronicles series. I hope you find it a fitting ending. www.amazon.co.uk/Robin-Hood-G...
Robin Hood and the Holy Grail is #No2 on this Amazon chart. And the paperback, I'm told, is also published (but not yet listed, for some reason)
I signed a deal today with those nice people at Ulverscroft to make an audio book of "Robin Hood and the Holy Grail". I feel like a proper businessman!

One month to go till this beauty hits the shelves! www.amazon.co.uk/Templar-Assa...

Jeffrey Archer quoted in the Daily Express yesterday talking about his new book about Churchill and Hitler. "When I told my publishers the idea six years ago, they begged me to stop writing . . ."
This is how to do an Amazon review of my new Mongol novel Templar Traitor. One word, five stars! Done
Templar Traitor is my 22nd novel, so I should be used to this online BS by now. But this one-star really hurts. I shouldn't admit it – that's what these bunts want, to hurt you. But it really stings, dammit!
Last day to get 25% off Templar Traitor, my new Mongol novel, from Waterstones! (Offer ends 31st July)

I now have paperback copies of Robin Hood and the Heretic Prince to sign and sell. Who wants one? #booksky
The most excellent designer Dave Slaney (who does my Robin Hood covers) has created an advert for the two books he has just been working on. Feast your eyes! #booksky
ANOTHER Robin Hood from me! I have revamped "Robin Hood and the Castle of Bones", one of mine from way back in 2020. It has a new cover by the brilliant Dave Slaney, and I have weeded out a lot of typos in the text. Will re-publish it in a couple of days time. Hope you enjoy it #booksky
‘Your Excellency,’ said the knight, ‘there may also be Christians in there. How can we tell which is a heretic, and which a good Catholic?’ ‘Kill them all,’ said the papal legate. ‘God will know his own!’ #booksky
Popped into @Watersones Piccadilly this week and was gratified to see they have a few of mine on the shelves! #booksky
AI is stealing my IP, along with everyone else's. It lists 32 of my books that LibGen is "scraping" to train AI bots. This is outright theft. They do NOT have my permission. #booksky
I have enjoyed a spirited debate on another site about this cover of one of my Viking books, published nearly four years ago. Opinion was divided. Can I ask Blueskyers – do you like it? Do you hate it? Would you buy the book based only on this cover? Or does it seem a bit hackeyned to you?
