Well known for his eponymous blog, Ferrett's debut novel Flex was very well received - just read this review by Ken Liu: “Featuring one of the most original magic systems ever devised and a pair of likable, layered protagonists, Flex is a fast-paced, imaginative, and emotionally engaging adventure. The developing friendships and rapport among the characters are portrayed with sensitivity and avoids cliches, and the magical battle sequences are rigorous and filled with ingenious touches that will make gamers and tax lawyers alike grin with joy.” The Flux is set to follow suit; Ken raved about it, too.

But when ‘mancers battle, cities tremble… Mythmaker, Marianne de Pierres

Australian author Marianne is available to chat about the second in her Peacemaker series, Mythmaker. A cli-fi novel set in the Australian outback - but not as we know it - the first book in the series was described in the New York Journal of Books as "a dystopia a little on the mythological and crime-solving side".

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.
