Some amazing news- @Waterstones took half the stock of The Triton Run and all copies in England have now sold bar one - in Newcastle. Bearing in mind there’s been no publicity since November and I’ve got the rights back I think that’s damn impressive.

Writing and watching

We need an update on the Nutella when they reach furthest distance. Record breaking product placement 🤣

I’ve bought this, looks good. I’ll be dropping a review when done.

This.

The first two chapters of The Triton Run. I have the rights back and am looking for a new home for it and the unpublished but finished sequel. Please share, attract the attention of all agents and publishers please! paulsedwards.com/the-triton-r...

Ahem.

4 new articles and other updates on the website paulsedwards.com A few notes on recent gigs, a copy of my pitch for the Triton Run and Jovian Sunset as well as the first 2 chapters. After a bit of a rough time, least of all with taking the rights back, my mojo is back!

Obviously he’s completely right, but boy will he be surprised when Stamford Bridge is empty.

More queries sent out tonight. If anyone is interested in The Triton Run let me know. I have the rights for it and the sequel and the reviews / sales were good. Think the North American market could be good for us. Meanwhile progress on my other projects continues

Some ramblings on where I ended 2025 in publishing terms. It’s been a rollercoaster for sure but 2026 will be another step forward. paulsedwards.com/all-change-b...

Seen in the wild in the Arndale centre Waterstones

Despite the shock of the recent news it’s still amazing when you discover people have picked copies of the Triton Run up off the shelves. Sales at Blackwells and Chester’s Waterstones. There will be someone out there who’ll be interested in the rights!

Amazing

Nudge nudge wink wink- I’d be very appreciative of anyone who would nominate the Triton Run for this. Every bit of profile raising will help me get that next deal! Deadline is in 4 days. Thanks! docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

Out now, The Year of the Rat. 25% off currently if you order from @northodoxpress.bsky.social using code NORTHODOXMASS www.northodox.co.uk/product-page...

So, there is still time to nominate The Triton Run in this year’s BSFA awards. It’s had a great reception though obviously there is now a hiccup! Even being long listed would assist in the next stage of my career. Any BSFA member can vote!

My first Waterstones review !

3 separate messages today from readers gutted that Jovian Sunset won’t be out in March as planned! It was ready to go as well. But it’ll get out there, I’m so proud of it and the twist is fab at the end.

Best of wishes for both James in new ventures and Amy and Ted in taking the Northerner's historical fiction to new heights! Small publishing is so often a passion project (makes no money and takes a lot of effort) so kudos for the 5 years and the MANY, MANY books published!

While I'm sad that this means Northodox won't be publishing my fantasy novels anymore, I'm really pleased that they've found a way forward & excited for the books they'll put out over the years to come. Historical fiction & nothern publishing are both richer for their contribution.

Revisiting a project I submitted to the writing group I was in a few years back. Still pleased with it but feel I’m a far better writer now. The concept is solid and I got some good feedback I can use to improve it.

I had the privilege to read some of this- it’s good! I’ve supported it- why don’t you?

Aside from being scruffy northerners, we've built our reputation on the strength of our historical fiction the last couple of years. Well, we also love the weird and wonderful as well! Have you had a look at any of these 2025 releases yet?

Waterstones Liverpool with a signed copy of The Triton Run

TEASE!!!

Exciting news today as I got to see what will probably be the cover art for Jovian Sunset, out in March. I’m sure we’ll do a cover reveal soon but it is absolutely fab. Will be as stunning as the cover for The Triton Run.

Great review, really pleased saltandnovels.wordpress.com/2025/10/05/b...

It’s that time of year when members can nominate for the @BSFA awards for 2025. The Triton Run is eligible so if anyone who follows can vote a nomination would be greatly appreciated. Getting a nomination is probably harder than getting a review but I’m proud of that book.

While I’m busy writing what will be my third published novel you can still buy my first

These might well be the last few copies of the Triton Run in the wild ready to sell tomorrow in Liverpool before a big second print run is done.

Great to see that @blackwells.bsky.social Blackwells big Sci fi and manga store in Oxford now stock the Triton Run

Brilliant books (not by me) in this sale - from rave culture by @jacksonjamie.bsky.social, witch hunts by @adberginwriter.bsky.social, sugar babies by @cdelull.bsky.social, badger detectives from @stevenashwrites.bsky.social, sci-fi epic from @paulsedwards.bsky.social & loads more!

Get on this!

3,000 words passed on my third book for @northodoxpress . It’ll conclude some of the arcs started in the Triton Run

What film most reminds you of your childhood?

Wow! Had no idea Ted was going to say this. But he’s right though…

Mad what Notts County fans sing then youtu.be/RRgDyO-B4V4

This looks like loads of fun if you're anywhere near Liverpool. There's be loads of @northodoxpress.bsky.social authors attending

This looks like being a great event. And I’ll be going too!
