Best Laid Plans

Book 2 of the Shader series, Best Laid Plans will be released soon. It's just undergoing final edits and I'm waiting on the cover art. What I've seen so far is stunning.

The paperback of Cadman's Gambit has now been released. It benefits from the excellent formatting of T.M. Roy and features a double-page map of the world.

There will be a paperback giveaway of Cadman's Gambit on Goodreads next month. In the meantime, if you are a reviewer living in the US and would like a paperback copy, please email me at derekprior[at]yahoo.co.uk.
