Writes books, reads a lot, owns a beagle, runs like a drunk monkey. www.robjhayes.co.uk THE GOD EATER saga is out now!
I'm at The Broken Binding for the final signing session of The Ties that Bind. And there are slipcases! They're quite shiny.
GodEater Saga news! Age of the GodEater book 2 will go on general release on the 3rd March 2027 and it is called SAINT. The Fifth Age Begins... An Age of War! And you can pre-order it now: readerlinks.com/l/5518194 Kickstarter news will be coming soon...
Herald turns 2 years old on July 9th. Perfect time for some GodEater Saga news...
What if the GodEater Saga came to Netflix? If only! Please be aware this is not real. It's just a bit of fun.
It's Friday. It's sunny. I'm cracking open a new book. What are you reading?
My special edition shelf is coming together nicely. But it feels unbalanced... Think I need another SPFBO finalist coin. 🤣
I have just written the last word in the first draft of Titan Hoppers 5. BLIGHT WARDENS is coming soon. To celebrate, here's a totally real sneak peek at the cover...
My yearly tradition of a birthday book sale continues. This year, all 4 Mortal Techniques books are on sale both on Zon, and direct from me via my website. So grab your katana and marshal your chi for some action-packed Asian-influenced Sword & Sorcery.
It's time for another procrastination graphic. HERALD, book 1 of the Age of the GodEater is out now and book 2 is coming soon...ish. You can expect a bunch more pithy lines and a truly EPIC Fantasy.
Hard to believe my little dark queen, Eska, has turned 6 years old. Feels like just yesterday she was tearing a hole in the world to save her friends. :D ALONG THE RAZOR'S EDGE is on sale now.
Book 2 of Age of the GodEater has just gone out to BETA Readers. I'm dragging us closer to release inch by bloody inch.
Look, I know it's just the way the wax has melted on the bottle... But does anyone else see a little fucking gremlin???
"Violence is what she was made for, but it's not all she is." - Fantasy Faction. Reviews of HAMMERFALL keep coming in and I'm floored by the responses. It's so wonderful to see folk connecting with Selitha's story.
Why is editing important? Well, here's an example. How else is the character going to snort? Through his mouth? His ears? Out his arse?
Hammerfall has one of the most fun characters I've ever written... a severed head.
Seeing all 4 of them side by side, I can't help but love the work my artist and designer have done with these. Hammerfall is releasing in just 6 days!!!
Time to reveal HAMMERFALL's 2nd cover. It's important to me that series match when on bookshelves, so Hammerfall had to have a GodEater Saga branded cover. Artwork by eshpur Cover Design by stk_kreations
I keep seeing early reviewers refer to Hammerfall as a novella... It's 90k words!!! 🤣🤣 It's also under a month from release. 2nd cover reveal coming soon...
Sorry to inform you all, but no matter how comfortable you might be, you will never achieve the serenity of a Potato in repose.
Don't mind me, I'm just over here giggling with glee at a couple of Goodreads Reviews I found for Hammerfall. Being compared to Gemmell and Gwynne has definitely brightened up my day! Hammerfall is releasing 3rd February 2026.
Psst! Turns out, HERALD is on sale right now in both the US & UK. When the earth bleeds and the sky burns, the last Herald of the Age will walk the mortal world. But which side will they choose? readerlinks.com/l/4196641/he...
I am still very much under the weather, but here's another author blurb for HAMMERFALL, this time blurbed by the amazing Steve McHugh! Pre-order your copy here: readerlinks.com/l/5103883/hf...
Don't mind me, just posting this here because HAMMERFALL has received an author blurb from THE Michael R. Fletcher!!! 😲 Hammerfall is releasing February 3rd 2026 and is a standalone novel set in my God Eater Saga world.
One thing the convention taught me was I need to get better at short descriptions of my books. So I've condensed HERALD's description into 3 words! What dya think?
After a few days away at the convention, Potato investigation is on the way to confirm my identity. As always, first point of interrogation is my ears.
I'm preparing to man a dealer's table at a convention later this month. Got myself some info cards and book cards.
The ARCs have arrived! Which means... The ARCs will soon be getting sent out. 😁 Hammerfall is one step closer to release.
3 years ago, in preparation for my (thankfully not Red) wedding, I turned my comfy chair into the Iron Throne. Lady Korra, the Potato Knight happily claimed the crown.
