They're making James Bond into a children's book. This will be the third Bond series written by a new author after Ian Fleming's death.

This sums up the publishing industry quite nicely.

It's an ORIGINAL Greek myth about warring gods and the mortals caught in their storm.

It's that time of the month when I remember that if I want people to buy my books, I actually have to tell them they exist. So, if you have a swashbuckling fantasy shaped hole in your TBR for a bit 'The Three Musketeers, if d'Artagnan was actually John McClane', then check this out!

Six days left until I release this grisly horror novella into the world. Either pick up an ARC today, pre-order the discounted e-book, or wait for the paperback, which will be published on Monday.

So if you want to read a low-magic fantasy series with sword fights, conspiracies, an iconic protagonist and banter that alone makes the series worth reading, then start here: www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0DZBVGPV...

New Goodreads review dropped for 'The Man with the Broken Sword', courtesy of @siljaevelyn.bsky.social j

"...a protagonist who is nothing short of iconic."

"Brand also has an extraordinary talent of writing dialogue - the banter alone makes this series worth reading."

Well, he definitely is 😂

The background is a forest of colorful autumn leaves. In the center is a white post-it that says: a literary agent’s guide to: Walking On Dead Leaves by Julian Kennedy, 80K word, adult domestic suspense

The background is a forest of colorful autumn leaves. In the center is a white post it that says, “Thirty-year-old Emma and twenty-seven-year-old Mina are forced to pack up and abandon their lifelong home when their recently-deceased father leaves the house to their callous half-brother. Emma's calm, collected nature is put to the test when she finds a strange note addressed to her and her two sisters in a box containing paperwork left behind by their unassuming father. It says: Do not trust the people in your life. The last thing I want is for any of you to be killed.”

The background is a forest of colorful autumn leaves. In the center is a white post-it that says: “Not long after this note appears, they encounter two men hellbent on keeping disturbing secrets from them. Emma goes into overprotective mode, whereas Mina is emotionally devastated and scared. The sisters begin to realize that the key to unraveling this mystery is hidden close to home. If they want to figure out why their father thought they might die, they have to put themselves in danger to get the answer.”

The background is a forest of ccolorful autumn leaves. In the center is a white Post-it note that says: “If I stop running, I’m going to die. My heartbeat is almost as loud as the crunching under my feet—the brown, crispy leaves creating a startling orchestra as I sprint. They litter the bridge over the moonlit pond like burnt pieces of paper. My calves cramp but I continue, spurred on by the mental images of everything I’ve lost and everything I stand to lose. Yard by yard, I keep going. And going. And going.”

For readers of DAUGHTER OF MINE and THE WIFE UPSTAIRS—WALKING ON DEAD LEAVES is the story of sisters (adult, 3- 2 are POV) who discover deadly family secrets after the sudden death of their father. They realize they have to decipher out his final message to save them.

Thanks for the encouragement 😁
