Raybould Marsh is a British secret agent in the early days of the Second World War, haunted by something strange he saw on a mission during the Spanish Civil War: a German woman with wires going into her head who looked at him as if she knew him.
When the Nazis start running missions with people who have unnatural abilities—a woman who can turn invisible, a man who can walk through walls, and the woman Marsh saw in Spain who can use her knowledge of the future to twist the present—Marsh is the man who has to face them. He rallies the secret warlocks of Britain to hold the impending invasion at bay. But magic always exacts a price. Eventually, the sacrifice necessary to defeat the enemy will be as terrible as outright loss would be.
The publication date for my debut novel is six weeks out, but I've been very pleasantly surprised, and honored, by some of the buzz generated around Bitter Seeds.
Over at Stomping on Yeti, the venerable stomper of yetis has included me in his list of 25 Authors Worth Watching in 2010 and Beyond. I'm simply blown away, and more than a little humbled, to see my name listed alongside such incredible writers as Greg van Eekhout, Rachel Swirsky, Leah Bobet, Jack Skillingstead, Theodora Goss, Mary Robinette Kowal, Aliette de Bodard, and Beth Bernobich, just to name a few. I can only hope that I earn a spot alongside them someday. But who am I to argue? He stomps on yetis, people! And that's not something I want to mess with.
Stomping on Yeti has been following up the original list with in-depth looks at each of the 25 authors. I was included in the second spotlight, number 2 of 5.
Bitter Seeds also made it into Simply the Best's weekly roundup for February 27, under a book recommendation from Daniel Abraham. Hooray!
