Happy (belated) (UK) book day to me!

Vaki þu, Angantýr,       vekr þik Hervör,
eingadóttir       ykkr Sváfu;
selðu ór haugi       hvassan mæki,
þann er Sigrlama       slógu dvergar.

My god, I was so busy yesterday that I didn't even manage to post here about The Waking of Angantyr coming out in the UK. In my defense, I was not busy by choice; instead I got called in to jury duty for the first time in my adult life -- all my previous summons have resulted in the website telling me the day before that I don't have to report in. Well, I suppose it's fitting that publication day for my bloody Viking revenge epic began with me waking up early enough to induce homicidal feelings . . .

But even if I'm a day late in posting this, the good news is that book is still out! Yes, in this day and age where we place an unhealthy emphasis on how everything performs in the first twenty-four hours, I think it is just dandy for people to buy a book on day two! Or even day two hundred, for that matter. And Titan Books have given it such a lovely cover, how could you resist:



If the answer to that is "because I want a print copy and dear god international shipping now costs both arms and a leg," don't worry, a US edition is in the works. (As is an audio edition, if that's your preferred narrative delivery method.) But look at that cover! You know you want it, and all the bloody grimdark vengeance within.

(Even if it's a day late.)
