The Great and Mighty K.J.Taylor!

Irony Alert

A month or so ago, I posted here to report that (to my great excitement) The Shadow’s Heir is being sold in airport bookshops.

Goodbye, Raekal

It’s been a while since I’ve posted here, but I prefer not to unless I’ve got something relevant to say. Today, I have a small piece of news, which may be slightly disappointing to some. Some time ago on this site, I made a post saying how I was considering writing a trilogy in the… {read more}

Happy Springday!

Hey everyone, and happy Springday! Today (in Australia, at least), is the first day of Spring.

Release Dates

First of all, an apology. Lately people have been asking me when the next book (The Shadowed Throne) comes out, and I’ve been giving the wrong answer. The last three books came out at six-monthly intervals, so I got confused and forgetful and thought it would be the same for this three. In fact the… {read more}
