Well hello there

Welcome to my webbe zeit.

The Iron Road

Hi. I'm the author of the Articles of Faith series and the Tales of the Plains trilogy, all published by HarperVoyager. I'm not the author of any military histories (yet).

The Iron Road is out now, and you should buy it. Find out more.

The Company of the Wolf is out in paperback. Why not buy that as well.

The Hunters is also out in paperback. I'd recommend buying that too.

See more on the Books page. You're also welcome to join the irregular ranks of my mailing list.

Currently reading The Autumn Springs Retirement Home Massacre by @pfracassi.bsky.social - so brutal! I’m dreading who will be the next victim 🫣 I’m hooked! Also reading The Iron Road by @davewragg.com - final book in The Tales from the Plains trilogy. I’m sad to say goodbye to Ree & Javani 😭

Next up for #drawtober is spellbound princess! This has got several loving references to one of my all time favourite illustrators, Harry Clarke, and also Sergio Toppi. I’ve included some process photos - the final work is in pen and ink on paper, but the planning sketch was digital. See it at WFC!

Happy Mid Autumn Festival! 🥮 I’m thrilled to share the cover of #TheGirlWithAThousandFaces, coming 5 May 2026 from @torbooks.bsky.social! ⭐⁣The Girl with a Thousand Faces is a Chinese-Gothic tale set in a historical Hong Kong. Cover art by Lindsey Carr, Cover design by Shreya Gupta
A ghostly Chinese woman with dead white eyes stares out from a stylised black and green ocean, her face surrounded by billowing gold foam
THE HIGHLY ANTICIPATED NEW NOVEL FROM THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF THE BOOK EATERS A haunting dark urban fantasy set in a historical Hong Kong, where ancient myths and local legends combine in a story of ghosts, grief and women who will not forgive. Mercy Chan is a triad exorcist with a mysterious past. After washing up on the shores of Hong Kong with no memory during World War II, she found a home in Kowloon Walled City, an infamous, ghost-infested slum full of lost and traumatised civilians. Since the war ended, Mercy has rebuilt her life and found work as a ghost-talker for the local triad, dealing with the angry and bitter spirits who haunt this place. But the past she can’t remember won’t let her go. An unusually powerful ghost lurks in Kowloon’s waterways, drowning innocents and threatening the district. Unnervingly, it claims to know Mercy—and her forgotten childhood. As Mercy is drawn into a deadly cat-and-mouse game with this malignant spirit, she begins to realise that the monster she fights within these walls may well be one of her own making.

EXCLUSIVE: Excerpt: Chapter 1 of Richard Swan's new Vonvalt novella The Scour
Stuffed with Vonvalt's trademark legal procedural overlay on the grim outer reaches of the Sovan Empire, a bit of dark fantasy buddy cop action, and a murderous mystery to be solved, I hope you enjoy ...
