I chatted with one of my heroes at World FantasyCon in Brighton this weekend. @johngwynneauthor.bsky.social, you're an absolutely lovely guy and I'm glad I finally got to meet you. My daughter was jealous that I'd met Grumpy from Once Upon a Time until I told her who you are though!😅

UK paperback publication of THE FURY OF THE GODS is tomorrow.

An absolute pleasure attending Samantha Shannon’s event with Brighton Waterstones the other day to celebrate the publication of Among the Burning Flowers. Lovely to meet Samantha and have a brief chat. As always, the Brighton Waterstones team hosted a brilliant event.

Some very exciting news… I am honoured to have been asked to interrogate the wonderful Jay Kristoff during his London Waterstones Event on the 14th November. Not only does this mean I get the pleasure of his company, but I also get the pleasure of reading Empire of the Dawn before it is available…

It is always an honour seeing a new edition in the flesh and this is no exception. I love the interior art and sprayed edges with the new Of Blood and Bone covers. This edition is available for purchase via The Broken Binding (found in my LinkTree) @thebrokenbinding.bsky.social

“I Shall Call Her Storm” A flashback to one of my favourite pieces of art in the @grimoakpress.bsky.social special edition of Malice. Sam White did an incredible job. A very important moment for the entire series, featuring two integral characters 🐺 that will always be special to me.

I read Red Rising… and absolutely loved it. Off to read the rest of the saga now… thanks boys @brother-will.bsky.social #redrising #redrisingsaga #fantasyrecs #scifi

PUBLICATION DAY FOR THE NEW OF BLOOD AND BONE EDITIONS ⚔️🐺. Amazing to see how these look next to The Faithful and the Fallen. Links to each available through my LinkTree. I hope you enjoy.

EXCLUSIVE CONTENT… It has been very exciting to see the new covers for Of Blood and Bone. But that is not all that is new… There is an exclusive short story at the end of the new edition of A Time of Dread. This tale revisits a character very close to my heart from The Faithful and the Fallen…

The old Of Blood and Bone covers vs the new covers…. Publication of the new editions in 6 days! Links can be found in my LinkTree. Truth & Courage! ⚔️

Guess what I saw this week… #superman #cryptodog

I had such a wonderful time visiting Serbia with my wife for Zmajkon Festival in Niš and then a signing in Belgrade. We were looked after so well and met some amazing people. I’ll post more about this soon, but today Caroline and I are flying to France

Here is some incredible art by @lanterillustration.bsky.social of Glornir Shieldbreaker from The Bloodsworn Saga. Have to say, he does look familiar…

I had a lovely time at the Oxford Literary Festival. It was an absolute pleasure to discuss Tolkien and epic fantasy alongside @jamesloganauthor.bsky.social. Thank you to Grace for chairing the event, and Abby and the team for looking after us. Thank you also to those who took the time to attend.

I am very excited to be chatting with the great author and editor James Logan tomorrow at the Oxford Literary Festival. We will be on the panel In Tolkien’s Wake: The Future of Epic Fantasy. I hope to see some of you there. Tickets are in my bio ⬆️ Truth and courage.

I am very happy to announce that I will be speaking on a panel at the Oxford Literary Festival on Friday 4th April. Excitingly, the panel is called In Tolkien’s Wake: The Future of Epic Fantasy, and I will be chatting with the excellent James Logan, chaired by Grace Khuri.

Four of my favourite reads last year. I'd have rated them all 6 stars if I could. Truly masterpieces of their genres. The Daughters' War is gripping and gritty, with terrifying goblins. The Empire of the Damned is Kristoff at his best - heart-poundingly good.

I popped in to the excellent Brighton Waterstones yesterday and signed a large handful of books. If you’re in the area and are looking for a signed copy, Brighton is the place to go. Truth and Courage 😁🐺

Thank you to the absolute gent that is Philip Chase for mentioning THE FURY OF THE GODS in his best of 2024 video. Philip, you are a shining light in the book community. Thank you for supporting The Bloodsworn 🐺🪓 Link to video is in the comment below ⬇️

Thank you so much to the wonderful team at GrimOakPress, led by Shawn Speakman, for these truly mesmerising editions of MALICE. The artwork by Marcus Whinney and Sam White is incredible and it was a pleasure to work with them to bring The Banished Lands to life.

Hurrah! The Bone Ships are coming to France! (Ably assisted by @johngwynneauthor.bsky.social .)

This is research… isn’t it? I’ve started calling my sons ‘Roach’.

I am incredibly excited to announce that @panmacmillan are reprinting the Of Blood and Bone trilogy in brand new covers. Personally, I’m very happy to have some more covers that match the style and colour palette of The Faithful and the Fallen and I love how these have come out.

With all the Rebecca Yarros excitement - there are recs out for dragon books. @johngwynneauthor.bsky.social's FURY OF THE GODS is one. Be warned though. There's no sexy, sexy in this. There is plenty of ACTION and great characters! 😍😆 bit.ly/40puaAY

Hello Bluesky, I’m John Gwynne, author of The Faithful and the Fallen, Of Blood and Bone and The Bloodsworn Saga. Happy to be here, truth and courage! 😁🐺🐍🪓

Yes, I have added Lik-Rifa into my Viking village. Thankfully, Orka is on hand...along with some of the Bloodsworn!!! See, you can have all sorts of fun with the characters from @johngwynneauthor.bsky.social's books!!!
