Prince of Thorns has been on the shelves for thirteen years!
The book is now the same age as Jorg himself is on the first few pages 😮
Worldwide the Prince of Thorns has sold about 1,000,000 copies... and UK paperback has reached at least 30 printings.
I'll take the chance to say thanks - thank you to my readers (and my publishers) for letting me spend the past 13 years writing stories, and more than that - living in them. It's been an unexpected privilege.
In other news, I now have a Patreon. Check it out!
I now have 18 books on the shelves!
The most recent addition was The Book That Broke The World, in April.
Being a numbers guy as well as a words guy I like to keep track of things and record them for when I'm doddery and old, looking back at my 'glory' days.
In the past year my books have added 54,158 ratings on Goodreads!
The site has recovered somewhat, so I can show you the first page of my author dashboad as I've traditionally done.

I just happen to be re-reading Prince of thorns as this blog post came out, which led me here to see what's going on. I love everything broken empire and have read all the books and the road brothers. I would give my left (not my right) nut for you to return to that world with another trilogy. I think its time! Please! Anyway, love the books, thank you for your work.
ReplyDeleteDoing a re-read of Prince of Thorns as we speak, which led me here to see what was new. It's even better on re-read. I love all things broken empire and I would love if you ever returned with more stories of the road brothers (preferably a new trilogy!). Thank you.
