Publication Day!
The UK edition of Loss Protocol is published today. I began to write it at the beginning of 2023, so this is the culmination of three years work by myself, my agent, and my editor and the production team at Gollancz. It started out as a completely different story, but although that shared the same themes, I quickly realised that I was writing about the wrong person in the wrong place, and after I discovered the Blackwater Estuary in Essex, and began to uncover Marc Winters' story, everything began to come together. And here we are. Fantasy? Climate Fiction? SF? Some kind of a novel, anyway.
Available now at all good booksellers -- an especial reminder that like every title published in the UK, it can be ordered via your small, local, independent bookshop. And, I hope, you'll be able to find it in your local library, too.
NB Several people in the US have asked about availability there. I don't yet have any information about that, but my UK publishers have an arrangement with a distributor in the US, and copies are usually available in bookshops and via Amazon.com 3 - 6 months after UK publication. Meanwhile, Blackwell's is probably the best option, as it appears to have a reasonable shipping charge.

Hi Paul, thank you so much for Loss Protocol. It was, in some way, different than your other novels. More personal perhaps. It felt like a very cathartic kind of novel. I enjoyed it a lot! It reminded me a little bit of my own journey in recent years (minus the mushrooms). Your novels have often felt like invisible companions to me. I hope you are doing well, and if and when you feel like it, I will look forward to your next novel. Regards, Theo Stauffer, Zurich, Switzerland.
