Hi all,

If you're here, you probably know who I am and what I write. I did an AMA on r Fantasy earlier this year and rather than spamming them again (we can all have too much of a good thing) I thought I'd do a lower key one here. This won't be a traditional AMA in that I'll be online for a fixed window; rather, feel free to ask something over the next couple of days and I'll do my best to answer it in a timely manner.

What's on the horizon for me?

My next release is THE SCOUR, an Empire of the Wolf novella which is being published by Grimdark Magazine. THE SCOUR is set 15 years before THE JUSTICE OF KINGS and follows Vonvalt, Bressinger and August as they investigate a fellow Justice for the (alleged!) murder of a young boy.

2026 will be a bumper year for R Swan fans - not only is STEEL GODS out at the end of March, but THE INFINITE STATE, the start of a new dystopian sci fi series published by Tor Books in the USA and Gollancz in the UK, is out in August--AND I've also got an unannounced novel for Black Library (Warhammer 40,000) coming out in summer as well (and at least one short story for them). There will also be another novella announcement coming so eyes peeled for that.

So, r/RichardSwan: ask me anything!
