Author of The Faithful and the Fallen, Of Blood and Bone and The Bloodsworn Saga series. Viking Re-enactor when not stuck in a coat of mail. https://linktr.ee/johnhgwynne
The Bloodsworn Special Editions are officially out in the US - one more week to wait for the UK. I saw this beautiful artwork today of ORKA by Red Murphy Art and I felt that this really captured the spirit of the ferocious mother-wolf. Seeing readers create artwork from your books is wonderful.

I chatted with one of my heroes at World FantasyCon in Brighton this weekend. @johngwynneauthor.bsky.social, you're an absolutely lovely guy and I'm glad I finally got to meet you.
My daughter was jealous that I'd met Grumpy from Once Upon a Time until I told her who you are though!π
UK paperback publication of THE FURY OF THE GODS is tomorrow.

An absolute pleasure attending Samantha Shannonβs event with Brighton Waterstones the other day to celebrate the publication of Among the Burning Flowers.
Lovely to meet Samantha and have a brief chat. As always, the Brighton Waterstones team hosted a brilliant event.
Some very exciting newsβ¦ I am honoured to have been asked to interrogate the wonderful Jay Kristoff during his London Waterstones Event on the 14th November. Not only does this mean I get the pleasure of his company, but I also get the pleasure of reading Empire of the Dawn before it is availableβ¦

It is always an honour seeing a new edition in the flesh and this is no exception. I love the interior art and sprayed edges with the new Of Blood and Bone covers. This edition is available for purchase via The Broken Binding (found in my LinkTree)

βI Shall Call Her Stormβ
A flashback to one of my favourite pieces of art in the @grimoakpress.bsky.social special edition of Malice. Sam White did an incredible job.
A very important moment for the entire series, featuring two integral characters πΊ that will always be special to me.
I read Red Rising⦠and absolutely loved it. Off to read the rest of the saga now⦠thanks boys @brother-will.bsky.social

It has been very exciting to see the new covers for Of Blood and Bone. But that is not all that is newβ¦
There is an exclusive short story at the end of the new edition of A Time of Dread. This tale revisits a character very close to my heart from The Faithful and the Fallenβ¦
