I'll be one of the Guests of Honour at next year's Eastercon, Olympus 2012. It is at the Radisson Edwardian Hotel, Heathrow, and runs from 6 - 9 April. Here's the Eastercon website, more details will be added as organisation progresses. And I'll keep you posted here, too!

There is a opinion piece in this month's Sci Fi Now magazine, on how I was brought up hunting, rebelled against it, and how this experience influenced Above the Snowline.

All the Castle books are now available as e-books in a variety of formats.

They are widely available, including from the following stores: Amazon if you’re a Kindle reader, Ebooks.com which has .pdf's, Mobipocket, Palm, Fictionwise.com, and Powell's.

The Castle Omnibus will be published this week and is available from Amazon.
It is a very handsome volume comprising the three Castle books already published: The Year of Our War, No Present Like Time and The Modern World. It’s got a very striking cover and is beautifully produced.

The next book, Above the Snowline, is completed and will be published in January. It has a better cover than the one currently showing on Amazon. More soon...

Shiny new paperbacks of The Modern World have finally shipped and are available from all good book retailers, including Amazon.

There's also a new review: Keith Brooke in The Guardian says 'Swainston's world is impressively complete, a setting that is richly detailed and gritty.' You can read the full review here.
