To celebrate its 1st birthday, Man O'War, my debut novel, will be discounted through a Book Barbarian promotion from today for $0.99 in the US, and £0.99 in the UK, so it's a good chance to pick it up if you already haven't - http://bookbarbarian.com/deals/

Struggling jellyfisherman Dhiraj Om is praying for a good catch to make ends meet. So when a valuable pleasure robot called Naomi is caught in his nets, he senses the opportunity for a quick profit.
But Naomi's owner, the brutal gangster Agarkka D'Souza, doesn't take kindly to his property being taken. Dhiraj's illicit deal thrusts him into a web of corruption stretching from London's seedy underworld to the Niger Delta. There, oil barons wage bitter war against Marxist dissidents, and Dhiraj and Naomi are hurled into a world of violence. Can Dhiraj save not only himself, but Naomi, who has become not only his protector and his curse, but possibly something more?

Man O'War was described as a "pacy, futuristic, internationalist and feminist thriller" by Naomi Foyle, author of the Gaia Chronicles and Seoul Survivors, and described by the British Science Fiction Association as an "engrossing and gripping thriller... of cybernetics and androids." If you haven't picked up a copy yet, I hope you can this week!
