Firstly, an apology if you got an old newsletter yesterday. What can we say? The devil made us do it...

 

Here's an update on all that we've been doing with Clovenhoof Books and other projects. The next Clovenhoof book, Godsquad is now available for pre-order. Details below.

 

Our collection of short stories is now permanently free. Share with your friends. It’s the perfect introduction to the world of Clovenhoof. A bumper crop of ten short stories, all together.

 

Iain has written a series of steampunk adventure stories and published them on Amazon, one every 3 months.

The 1st of Iain's steampunk chapbooks can be bought here on Amazon.

The collection of the first six stories, collected as The Gears of Madness, will be published in electronic and paperback format in July 2015.

Iain will be guest speaker at the Birmingham Science Fiction Group on 8th May 2015 to talk about steampunk and his writing in general.

In a move that will rock the literary establishment, Heide and Iain are now writers in residence… of a phone box.

The vintage K6 phone box is located in a prime position outside a beautiful village pub, next to a duck pond.

If you’re anywhere near North Warwickshire, there are already two events pencilled in to have fun in the phone box.

 

A St George’s day launch in the pub next to the phone box. Thursday 23rd April at 7:30.

The evening will feature a pub quiz, and some fun readings.

The Rose Inn, Baxterley, CV9 2LQ

 

Join Heide and Iain in a writing marathon in a phone box.

On Saturday 25th April, between 1pm and 5pm they will be co-ordinating a writing marathon.

Writers will take it in turns to create a story in the phone box (or the pub if it turns chilly!)

*************************************************** UPCOMING PUBLISHING SCHEDULE

 

23rd April 2015: God Squad - Clovenhoof book 3, featuring Joan of Arc, now available for pre-order.

 

Here’s what the book’s about:

The Team: Joan of Arc, the armour-plated teen saint of Orleans. Francis of Assisi, friend to all the animals whether they like it or not. St Christopher, the patron saint of travel who by papal decree has never existed – no matter how much he argues otherwise.

The Mission: An impossible prayer has been received by Heaven and it’s a prayer that only Mary, Mother of God, can answer. Unfortunately, Mary hasn’t been seen in decades and is off wandering the Earth somewhere. This elite team of Heavenly saints are sent down to Earth to find Mary before Armageddon is unleashed on an unsuspecting world.

Godsquad: A breathless comedy road trip from Heaven to France and all points in-between featuring murderous butchers, a coachload of Welsh women, flying portaloos, nuclear missiles, giant rubber dragons, an army of dogs, a very rude balloon and way too much French wine.

 

July 2015: The Gears of Madness – the collected omnibus of Iain’s steampunk adventure stories.

 

September 2015: Hellzapoppin - Clovenhoof Book 4 - featuring the Monks of Bardsey Island
