Blimey, that felt good to say! I've been beavering away on this for what seems like ages, but my debut sci-fi novel, Messiah's Shard... it done finally be publishified!

Expect epic. And dark. And death. And lashings of things blowing up (including human-shaped things). And a streak of humour alternating between black and ever so slightly childish. And ancient evil. And death. And aliens (including insecty aliens, 'cos ye've got to have insect-y aliens, it's the law). And lost civilisations. And one man who's going to have to save the universe, whether he wants to or not.

Also, death.

In fact, have the description, it's easier that me wibbling on incoherently about it:
_______

Beyond the universe you know, evil lies waiting...

John Harley never thought he'd be the one who'd have to save the universe; exactly how can one little man from the world's most insular village, a man not even brave enough to the tell the woman he loves that he does, in fact,
love her, be expected to save everyone, and everything, from a fate where they'd wish they were merely dead?

So many questions vie for attention in his mind, as he faces up to a galaxy that's bigger, and scarier, than he could have ever imagined. Why can he feel what other people feel? Why is an Egyptian goddess completely fixated on him? Why is there a nagging feeling, in his head, that he's not a complete person? Who are those blue people, and why are their knees on backwards?


And why are the yellow eyes, the ones that haunt his dreams, and whose voice calls out to those poor souls unlucky enough to hear, so intent on turning the galaxy into a perfect reproduction of hell?

_______

Now I start working on the rest of the books in the series... *rubs hands with glee*

Yeah, I'm somewhat excited... lol

:D

Did you have an editor?  Maybe this wasn't copy/pasted and you retyped it.

Ah, bugger, how could I miss that one?!

Yes, I had an editor, but thinking about it, I never got him to read that bit. Well spotted, thanks!
