Cover Reveal: Mythmaker

Cover Reveal: Mythmaker by Marianne de Pierres

Last year Marianne de Pierres' Peacemaker was released by Angry Robot. Which proved to be a very interesting crossover story, it had the science fiction promises of megacities and flying cars, contrasting to that there was a "bush" and western feel to the story. This all gave a very unique sense to the story. Better even was how well these elements worked and the story that Marianne de Pierres told in Peacemaker. 

For more detail on Peacemaker you can read my review here

Below I have some very cool new for you! The cover to the sequel of Peacemaker which is called Mythmaker. Feast your eyes on what Joey HiFi once again did!

You can find out more information on the amazing Joey HiFi and all the amazing covers he did on this website: http://www.alexandersband.com/joey-hifi


Quote: 
Marianne - “Joey HiFi has captured the essence of the MYTHMAKER story in his cover. The fox is a surprise spiritual guide to one of the characters, the urban background foreshadows trouble in Mystere, and the man on Virgin’s shirt is Papa Brise. It’s a brilliant interpretation of events. I think I like it even more that the PEACEMAKER cover.”

Synopsis: 
Virgin’s in a tight spot. A murder rap hangs over her head and isn’t likely to go away unless she agrees to work for an organisation called GJIC (the Global Joint Intelligence Commission).

Being blackmailed is one thing, discovering that her mother is both alive and the President of GJIC is quite another. Then there’s the escalation of Mythos sightings and the bounty on her head.

Oddly, Hamish is the only one she can rely on. Life is complicated.

Author interview with John Gwynne

Author interview with John Gwynne Author Bio: I was born in Singapore while my dad was stationed there in the RAF. Up until he retired that meant a lot of traveling around, generally a move every three years or so. I live with my wife and four wonderful (and demanding) children in East Sussex. Also three dogs, two of which will chew anything that stands still. I have had many strange and wonderful jobs, including packing soap in a soap factory, waitering in a french restaurant in Canada, playing double bass in a rock n roll band, and lecturing at Brighton University. I stepped out of university work due to my daughter’s disability, so now I split my time caring for her and working from home - I work with my wife rejuvenating vintage furniture, which means fixing, lifting, carrying, painting and generally doing what my wife tells me to do... And somehow during this time I started writing. I’ve always told my children stories at bed-time, and they pestered long and hard for me to ...

Book Review: Foxglove Summer

Foxglove Summer by Ben Aaronovitch, Peter Grant #5 In the fifth of his bestselling series Ben Aaronovitch takes Peter Grant out of whatever comfort zone he might have found and takes him out of London - to a small village in Herefordshire where the local police are reluctant to admit that there might be a supernatural element to the disappearance of some local children. But while you can take the London copper out of London you can't take the London out of the copper. Travelling west with Beverley Brook Peter soon finds himself caught up in a deep mystery and having to tackle local cops and local gods. And what's more all the shops are closed by 4pm..   I am a big fan of Urban Fantasy detective, I know it is going to be a shocker but this is my first Peter Grant book that I read. I have been aware of this series for a long but just never got around to reading it. Ben Aaronovitch launched his writing career with the Doctor Who books, after writing several books, he...
