I’ve just seen the final version of the UK cover art for Mark Lawrence’s upcoming Daughter of Crows. It’s so hauntingly beautiful I’ve got goosebumps all over!

It’s another triumph for HarperVoyager after the stunning Library trilogy covers. Cover artist Tom Roberts is definitely a keeper!

Hello people!
Wanted to ask if you have a book releasing from September 2025-August 2026 that you would like to be covered on Jamreads (SFF/Horror/Hist-Fic/Spec-Fic). (Trad/Indie equally)

Would you be so kind to put in the comments (so I can start working on my TBR with time?)

Signing my book at work wasn’t surreal at all. 😅

I mean Vanessa Kirby 💜, Pedro Pascal and the guy who played Eddie Munson in Stranger Things? I would have probably watched this even if it had been just commercials for two hours with them.

I didn’t know we had an estate in Enfield, North London, let alone that it was free to visit. And yes, it was a bit cloudy today. English summer for you. 😆
