Irenicon Interview
May 3rd, 2012 | Published in Book, Interview, Irenicon, Review
Locus, the long running US SF magazine, tips Irenicon as one of its Notable New UK Books, March– April. Surreal but wonderful to be mentioned alongside the likes of Iain Banks.
Here’s an interview with Shelley Marsden of the Irish World and an insightful review from Marc Aplin of Fantasy Faction. Thanks to both.
Back in the studio now and enjoying myself playing in the mud. I’ll post some pictures soon. AH
Scoop!
Irenicon launch
April 20th, 2012 | Published in Book, Irenicon, Review
Irenicon received a 4/5 starred review in the latest Sci-Fi Now.
‘The book is a fountain of gorgeous detail, festooned with enriching codices and enlightening, subtly subsumed exposition … Readers who know a good fantasy and do not feel themselves intimidated by one in which our hero is not ‘Dragonborn’, will enjoy Irenicon immensely. Well written and conceived, we look forward to Harte’s future works with relish.’
That’s issue 66, with a great big Iron Man on the cover. What are you waiting for? There’s a Harry Potter quiz in the back! Here are some pictures from Irenicon’s launch.
Me and the redoubtable Jo Fletcher.
Pitching hard... There's Ian Drury in the background...
Scribble, scribble, scribble
I could tell you how wonderful the convention was but Fantasy Faction have already done that, here. We had a busy few days subsequently in London, signing books in Forbidden Planet and Goldsboro Books. The marvelous folk at Jo Fletcher Books have been working hard to get the book noticed and I was positively giddy to see it in Waterstones on Oxford St.
Here’s a thoughtful review from Mihir Wanchoo of Fantasy Book Critic and, online at last, Jon Courtenay Grimwood’s Sfx Review. Cheerio - AH
