It's been three years in the making, but my third novel is finally being released 20th November.
The Killing Moon has been written in collaboration with my long time friend, Jamie Mitchell. It is a post apocalyptic vision of North East England and is being described as...
The Road meets Mad Max ... Beyond Northern England.
A series of cataclysmic events bring about the global collapse of civilisation. The few remaining survivors must fight for their survival in a world plunged back into the dark ages. Twenty years on, a new generation grow up out of the ashes and, after their idyllic life is destroyed, five friends must leave
their childhood home in rural Northumberland and embark on a perilous journey to Middlesbrough, a city gripped with gang violence and sectarian killings.
Tragedy, lies and deceit mar their every step as they are cast into a dark and twisted world that is itself on the brink of destruction.
“An intelligent, violent and disturbing post apocalyptic vision. Realistic and gritty and yet still manages to purvey a sense of hope laced with down-to-earth northern humour.”
The Killing Moon by Rod Glenn & Jamie Mitchell
ISBN 978-0956211484
324 Pages
Trade Paperback
Published by Wild Wolf Publishing
Released 20th November 2009

I know a lot of you guys are a long way away from the North East of England, so don't worry, but if anyone is in the area around those dates you'd be most welcome.
The artwork for the cover is by our very own Lonesome Crow! And a flippin EXCELLENT job he did too!
