Hi, I am delighted to announce that I have now completely finished writing Gatebound, and have submitted the finalised manuscript to the self-publishing service which I use. I am therefore happy to reveal that the publication date for my third epic fantasy novel is going to be…

28th FEBRUARY 2025!

I am beyond excited to share this Book Three of The Illborn Saga (of the planned four book series) with fans of the series. The response which I received from my beta readers was fantastic, and I am feeling proud of the c200k word story which I have created.

I am also pleased to share that there will be a 5-6 page synopsis of the Story So Far at the front of Gatebound, as well as a detailed list of characters from ILLBORN and Aiduel’s Sin. I hope that these will refresh your memory sufficiently such that a full reread of the first two books will not be required (though you are very welcome to do so, if you prefer!).

I have also received the book’s cover artwork, which I think is awesome, and I look forward to sharing this with you (along with the book blurb) later this year.

Thanks to everyone who has supported my series so far, and I hope that you will continue the epic fantasy story by reading Gatebound.

If you are new to The Illborn Saga, the next few months will be a great time to venture into ILLBORN (book one) and Aiduel’s Sin (book two), in readiness for the publication of the third book.

If you are an existing fan, I would be grateful if you could please keep recommending The Illborn Saga to potential new readers. Every single positive review, rating and recommendation can contribute to growing the series’ readership, and is much appreciated.

Thanks for your support.
