Updates

A couple of brief updates this week on authors I have featured previously.  Joe Abercrombie has published The Heroes, his fifth novel.  He did an extensive UK tour, and he is a generous signer, so there have been plenty of signed, lined and dated copies available via ebay (where I got mine). Waterstones in the UK had an exclusive first edition with an additional short story, and I think this should be the edition of choice. Prices of his earlier books also updated - these have continued to climb since I wrote the original entry, and the first two in particular now have significant value.
 
Meanwhile, Simon Scarrow has published his first novel aimed at young adults - Gladiator, Fight for Freedom.  This is the first in a series, published both as a hardcover and paperback.  A limited collectors' edition is available from the authors website. Profits go to charity.
