UPDATE: BOOKS, TOUR DATES, PODCAST
Fiction news, nonfiction pre-orders, live signings etc
There’s quite a lot going on/coming up from me, so I thought I would round it all up for you lovely subscribers here, so that you don’t miss anything.
Next week will be our monthly Q&A video post here on Substack. Remember - paid subscribers can ask questions/everyone gets the answers.
But for now, here are some other things.
WOLVES OF WINTER PAPERBACK - OUT NOW
Wolves of Winter was released in UK paperback edition this week. It’s got a new cover vibe, which will be matched by a refresh of the Essex Dogs cover.
Click the cover to order it.
(Collectors of hardbacks: don’t panic, the third and final Essex Dogs hardback, provisionally titled Darker Seas, is pencilled for publication in May 2025, and it will match the jacket style of the first two books. Your shelves will remain aesthetically pleasing.)
TALKS AND SIGNINGS
There are a couple of summer dates for Wolves of Winter coming up. You can book these now.
I’ll be on a full UK tour for Henry V this September and October. Most of these dates have not yet been announced. But some have. (See below.)
US plans TBD.
I’ll revise and mail out the updated tour date schedule as events are confirmed.

THIS IS HISTORY - NEW SEASON
My podcast that is a podcast just keeps on truckin’. There are now almost 100 episodes of This Is History and This Is History Plus available, telling the story of the Plantagenets in dramatic detail…
This week we introduce a new mini-season strand: This Is History Presents… The Iron King. It’s hosted by the brilliant Danièle Cybulskie. (I show up to grill Danièle for the bonus episodes, which have been… spicy to say the least.)
Here’s the feed:
As you can see, the new episodes drop straight onto the regular feed - so if you already listen to This Is History, you don’t need to do anything.
HENRY V - PRE-ORDERS
Pre-orders help authors so, so much.
Thank you!
Is that everything? I think it’s everything. But maybe it’s not. I am up to my eyebrows in proof-editing Henry, writing Essex Dogs 3 and writing/recording This Is History season 5.
But I’ll be back on here next week for the Q&A. Exciting!
I appreciate the reassurance on the Essex Dogs covers. Its like gym weights, they gotta match or they arent equal. 😆
You are so busy and happily so as it is all g good So keep on with it all
