The new Batpost is going up tomorrow, instead of today, because I can finally make an announcement. My first novel, Faction Paradox: Head of State is available for pre-order in dead-tree format. I don’t have details about when the ebook will be available, yet.

For those who don’t know about the Faction Paradox series, it started off as a spinoff from the Doctor Who novels of the late 90s and early 2000s, but rapidly became much more — there’s a whole series of books, comics, and audio dramas, by some of my favourite writers. I’m very, very proud to be able to add my own book to the range.

The book is set in the 11th, 19th, and 21st centuries, and in a space out of time, and it features vampires, djinns, a serial killer, Sir Richard Francis Burton, a talking frog, a talking decapitated head, a blogger, the invention of the Indian rope trick, and fifty-three footnotes. May contain trace elements of postmodernism.

I think you might like it.
