I now have publication dates for all three Petrovitch books: Equations of Life is due to land April 2011. Theories of Flight will be in the shops the very next month, and Degrees of Freedom the month after that. Simultaneously, on both sides of the Atlantic, and in Australia too (I think). I'll start putting links in the shop for all your pre-ordering needs.
I've also posted the next character portrait on the Petrovitch page, the ever-fragrant Madeleine.

Amazon.co.uk is showing a publication date for Equations of Life: 7th April, 2011. Plenty of time for you to save up your pennies!

The process to create spiffing cover art for Equations of Life, Theories of Flight and Degrees of Freedom has begun - I've supplied short character sketches for some of the main characters, so the artist can get an idea of what's going on in my head. I'll post these up on the Petrovitch page, starting with Samuil Petrovitch himself.

Orbit - for reasons best known to themselves - recently asked for examples of SF baking. No, really. Being a bit of a gastronaut, I had already boldly gone with my cakey Tardis and a 'fully confectional' Death Star. Enjoy.

I am on Facebook. Part of me feels like I've given in to the nasty, nasty social networking virus - but my publisher insists this is a good idea. Friend me if I know you! I've also put up a fan page for the Petrovitch trilogy which you can join.

I'm going to Eastercon for the first time. I've never been to an SF convention before (yeah, yeah, I know...), so I'm hoping that I get to meet lots of lovely people, hear interesting things, quaff heroic amounts of ale, and meet my editor at Orbit, the delightful Darren Nash. I have also (within fifteen minutes of registering for the con) been asked to go on a panel, so I felt compelled to say yes. I'm currently one half of the Junior Science Question Time panel, at 3pm on the Sunday. Apparently, I'm not only supposed to have encyclopedic knowledge of Science! but be able to explain it. Hmm. Sounds an awful lot like the day job.

And here it is. I'm in the process of signing a three book deal with Orbit - who are, if I'm not mistaken, the largest SF publisher on eight planets. The books in question are Equations of Life, Theories of Flight, and Degrees of Freedom, and star (if that's the right word) everyone's favourite sociopath Sam Petrovitch. I think in his honour I shall christen the trilogy The Books of Petrovitch.
More on the Orbit website for now, and more here later!
w00t!
