There's something wonderful about holding the book you've worked on for so long - and this one is very special indeed! Many thanks to the team @discoverkelpies.bsky.social for bringing it to life - pre-orders are open now, and it's out on the 19th!

New blogpost! Guess what it's about! www.mikebrooks.co.uk/2026/03/this...
It's fantasy! We need to get it right, or Karl Urban will have the wrong length hair!
This is a self-contained story! (it's a miracle, I can't normally construct a story in less space than a trilogy)
Much appreciated!
What? Don't know what you mean. There's no post there. I can word.

Come for the giant wasps, stay for the sapphic romance.
Very decent of you.
It's now available for pre-order everywerhe, and other retailers are of course available! If you're heading to Bookshop dot org and you don't have a particular one in mind then maybe you'd be kind enough to direct it to the Portal Bookshop in York? They're friends, and wonderful people :)

I do not like this gen AI
I do not like what it implies
I do not want it in my art
I do not think it makes you smart
I do not want it in my games
I do not like its goals and aims
I do not want it in my books
I do not like the way it looks
I do not like it, I don't care
I do not want it anywhere
A mother that you love???
These people presumably assume that no sexist man has ever married a woman.
