Flintlock book 5 - John M Burns cover art
2020 has proven to be an awful year, but I'm hoping 2021 will be a better one for us all in one way or another.
One thing I am hoping will be considered a positive is the arrival of Flintlock Book Five, after a much too long gap since Book Four was released in the Autumn of 2019. It shouldn't be a surprise that the delay was covid related - all of Time Bomb's planned 2020 releases ended up being pushed back by a few months - but the good news is the wait for Book Five is almost over.
Current plans are for the Kickstarter to run through February for release in March, and you can sign up to receive notification of when the campaign opens by following this link:

I hope you'll consider joining me for more 18th Century adventures. In many ways working with the artists to create the stories in Flintlock Book Five really helped me get through this year, and I'm looking forward to sharing what we've created together with you.
Wishing you a positive, safe and ultimately happy 2021.

Bank holiday reading sorted - part 2
New issue of Tales from the Tardis is now out, I find this impossible to get anywhere apart from WH Smith's, and I don't live near any branches of WH Smith's, so I was delighted that the Forbidden Planet megastore seemed to have a few copies in early....
Reading Asterix and Tintin books from the library was one of my earliest comics reading experiences, I've slowly (by which I mean acquiring copies only when I seem them for sale, I'm not trawling the net for copies - where would the fun be in that?) been collecting this series by Rene Goscinny for a while now. The books have been published in English before but I'm focussing on this set by Phaidon. There are hardback and softback versions available. There are 5 volumes in all - Nicholas; Nicholas again; Nicholas on holiday; Nicholas and the gang; Nicholas in trouble.
And just popped through the letterbox today - review in full coming soon, in the meantime just enjoy that Ian Kennedy cover
