Well, things are as hectic as ever here. The End of Everything: Book 4 will be coming out on 26^th July, and I am currently writing Book 5, which will be out in August.

I recently did a Q&A in the fan club and the resulting video is now available on YouTube:

The audio version of The End of Everything: Book 1 is now available through Audible, Amazon and iTunes. As I write, Kim is back in the studio recording Book 2. She did a fantastic job with the first one and I really can’t wait to hear the second. If you want to listen to a short outtake, just head here:

It’s launch day for Safe Haven Book 5: Vengeance. It was a huge amount of fun for me to get back to these characters. It had been way too long and even though I got to spend a lot of time with Wren and her sister in The End of Everything over the past few months, these guys are where it all started for me.

It won’t be as long until the next Safe Haven book (October). And Wren will be back even sooner than that in The End of Everything books 4, 5 and 6 in July, August and September respectively.

But you don’t have to wait that long to hear new life breathed into The End of Everything. I’m delighted to say the audio book came out today as well. It’s narrated by the incredibly talented West End and Broadway actress, Kim Bretton and she has done an amazing job. Kim is heading back into the studio within the next couple of weeks to start book 2.

I really hope you enjoy reading Vengeance as much as I enjoyed writing it. I went through the usual mix of emotions while I was doing this one, and as with nearly all my books, at a couple of stages I received concerned enquiries from my missus as she watched floods of tears roll down my face, but it wouldn’t be a Safe Haven book if that didn’t happen.

In other news, the first draft of The End of Everything: Book 4 has now been finished and the finished product will be hitting the shelves on 26^th July.

Next month sees the release of “Safe Haven: Vengeance”, the fifth instalment in the series. Safe Haven has seen a real resurgence in popularity thanks to the success of The End of Everything and I can’t wait to get this new title out there. As I write, it is on the cusp of being handed to my editor, so stay tuned.

That’s pretty much it for now. Don’t forget to stay up to date by signing up to the newsletter:

I’ve had a few people asking me in what order they should read the Safe Haven/Before Safe Haven books. The Before Safe Haven series comprises of standalone prequels and they can be read in any order before or after the Safe Haven series without affecting your understanding of the story.
There are seven books in total, and this wouldn’t be a bad order to read them in:
Safe Haven: Rise of the RAMs https://amzn.to/2t6eDGU
Safe Haven: Realm of the Raiders https://amzn.to/2FvgkSt
Safe Haven: Reap of the Righteous https://amzn.to/2HHILCi
Safe Haven: Ice https://amzn.to/2HRMIoz
Before Safe Haven: Lucy https://amzn.to/2HUmFNl
Before Safe Haven: Alex https://amzn.to/2Tye9oK
Before Safe Haven: Mike https://amzn.to/2NEdCj0

It’s just over a week since the launch of The End of Everything: Book 2. An awful lot has happened, so I thought I’d give you a quick update.

The book had the best pre-order figures of any of my titles. With pre-orders, the sale contributes to your chart position on the day it is ordered, and not the day the book is released, so I did not anticipate getting a high chart placing. Incredibly, over the course of the opening week, The End of Everything: Book 2 still managed to spend some time at number one in the Young Adult Zombie Chart on Amazon.com. The sales for both End of Everything books are going really well, and I was given a further boost this week when the first End of Everything won the coveted Zombie Book of the Month Club award.

I am putting the finishing touches to the formatting of the Book 2 paperback and I will let everyone know as soon as that is released. The End of Everything: Book 3 will be out this month as well, so there will not be long to wait to find out what the girls get up to next.

Take care and talk soon,

Chris
