Now available on Amazon – Tigers on the Western Front

I am pleased to announce that Tigers on the Western Front is now available on Amazon UK and Amazon.com.  In part 2 of the Royal Zombie Corps series, the Allies continue their development of the zombie as a war winning weapon.  Alfie Marsh, and his friends, are in the thick of it as the British find ways to harness the power of the flesh-eating creatures found in the front lines.

Book 3 in the series, ‘Gas! Gas! Gas!’ is now in the final editing stages and I will probably release it in one month.  The fourth, and final book in the series, is almost finished.  It is likely that I will likely release it in November or December.

Amazon description

The British have a new war winning weapon to break the deadlock of the trenches. The zombie knows no pain and inflicts terror on the enemy. The Allies pin their hopes on a great victory at Arras.

Book 2 of the Royal Zombie Corps continues the story of Alfie Marsh, and his friends, as they face the might of the Triple Alliance in the trenches of Western Europe. Not only are they facing the brutal conditions of the front line, but they continue their development of a new form of warfare – that of the reanimated dead.

This story is written in British English and is approximately 24,000 words long.

Artwork release – Tigers on the Western Front

I’ve finally had the artwork made for ‘Tigers on the Western Front’.  Actually I’ve been sitting on the finished product for a week as the release date for the book has slipped.  Over the last few weeks I’ve been tied up by a rather strung-out, and convoluted, house move.  At the start of the month I also started at a new, and challenging, coastal school, so the day job is keeping me rather busy.

Back to the book then.  The final edits just need to be completed, the artwork needs uploading, and then the book will be live on Amazon for the whole world to read.  I’ve just got to fit that around marking 150 pupil’s exercise books this weekend.

Royal Zombie Corps, book 2 cover

Artwork – Reveal of the new full cover of Tigers no the Western Front, book 2 in the Royal Zombie Corps series.

I like this cover, by the same artist as who did the cover for Blood, Mud and Corpses.  This cover has a far more pulpy feel, which fits well with this type of story.  I’m looking forward getting the artwork done for the third book, ‘Gas! Gas! Gas!’ and also the, as yet unnamed, final book in this first sequence.  I’ve not yet come up with a name that I’m happy with for the final book, although I do have a couple of ideas.  Moving further afield, I’ve already got the second and third sequence of books roughly planned, probably a further eight stories of 25,000 words each.

So over the next few days, hoping to get the final edits finalised.  Stay tuned to this blog for the latest information.
