GHOSTLORD available for advance orders

I'm delighted that my new book, GHOSTLORD, which is set in the same world as WILDLORD, will be out this year with Little Island. The book is available for advanced orders. These all help a book gain traction - if you enjoyed WILDLORD, I hope you will enjoy this one too. (The picture is of John Dee's obsidian mirror - one of these features prominently in GHOSTLORD...)

You can order it here from Waterstones.
