"A Rage of Souls is Chris Nickson at his best – complex, compelling and, above all. compassionate." How's that for the conclusion of a review? Why not read the whole thing and maybe it will persuade you to buy the book (hint: you should).

Thank you all so much for giving A Rage of Souls a big publication day boost yesterday. If you keep on buying it, maybe it can leap all the way to the best seller list. Are you game? Yes? Then you know what to do.

Excellent

Happy Publication Day, Chris!
The last Simon Westow! Jane will stay with me for a long, long while.

Indulge me, please (after all, it's my publication day). We writers sweat and fret and dream, , and with the help of our editors and publishers, launch it into the world. Sometimes, not often, we'll get a review like this and know it's all worthwhile.

Sadly, I suspect you're right.

Happy publication day to...me. I know it won't sell as many as Taylor Swift's new album, but if you're kind enough to buy a copy (independent bookseller are ALWAYS best), we can make the charts.
You know the drill by now. Thank you all so much - enjoy.

That little Bobby Jenrick, he's a proper Daily Fail racist, isn't he? Anything for attention and power, playing on pathetic fears and images of a country than changed long before he was born. What next, the great replacement theory?
Away with you, you tiny corrupt turd.

Question what they tell you. Don't just accept.

Seems to me that we shouldn't be trying to deport people who braved dangers were can't imagine to come here for a better life. We should probably kick out those who stash their money in tax havens. Let them go and join it unless they pay their tax here.

A Rage Of Souls is released into the world tomorrow. I would be very grateful if you took a look at it. Even more if you bought it, or asked your library to do it.

Allotment fox says good morning.

If you want me, I am in 1947.

Reform is anguished as much of Farage's security detail has been defuned, and they claim in the wake of the Kirk shooting in the US, itr's dangerous. Guns aren't widespread here, thank God. Most people here hadn't heard of Kirk. Do they think Nigel might be assassinated by milkshake?
