Welcome to the Merlyn’s Tower Irregulars


Dear Reader,

Thank you for asking to join the Paw Press mailing list. Consider yourself a fully paid-up member of the Merlyn’s Tower Irregulars. As well as getting announcements about new book releases, you may also be drafted to help deal with Revenants, but don’t let that worry you. Some of you getting this welcome note will have signed up today, and some of you did it so long ago you've forgotten (!). Sorry about that.

You have joined the Irregulars the old-fashioned way by signing up to the main mailing list. Thank you. You have also joined at a very interesting time -the most recent release has actually been by my little sister, Ruth Ward. Her cosy mystery featuring some of the King's Watch Characters was released last December as an eBook and you can find it on Amazon by searching for:

Facebook Irregulars Group (if you aren’t already a member - and you probably are)

All the news on Conrad & Co will continue to come via email, but for extra banter (especially mole related banter), and to share with other Irregulars, why not try the Facebook Group? You can find us here:

There has not been a lot going on in the world of Paw Press recently. If you're a member of the FB Group, or if you've seen my FB author page, you will know that work on 3rd Eye has been going very slowly and has had several stops and starts. However, readers sign up to the Irregulars at all stages of their journey through the King’s Watch and here is the latest:

  • The most recent King's Watch novel is (still) Four Roads Cross, Tenth Book of the King’s Watch. Work on Third Eye, Eleventh Book of the King's Watch is coming along nicely, but won't be done for a while.
  • The most recent audio release is the novella collection "Byways - Four Selected Tales of the King's Watch". This is also available as an eBook. I know I'm biased, but some of my favourite moments as an author are in the novellas, and Tamsin has done a brilliant job in bringing Vicky to life.
  • The most recent novel in the King's Watch universe is actually by my little sister - Ruth Ward. She has written a magick-free cosy mystery featuring two of the characters, Lucy Berardi and Bridget Gorrigan. King's Watch readers who enjoy a cosy mystery have received it warmly, and if that's you cup of tea, please check out Murder Within Tent on Amazon.

You can also reply to this email if you want to get a message across or (horror!) to unsubscribe.

I value my own privacy, and want to do the same for yours. This is the Paw Press commitment:

Rest assured that Paw Press:

• Will not sell/give/otherwise dispose of your data

• Will store your data securely

• Will not bother you with any messages other than information about new things or updates about progress on new things.

Thanks again,

Mark Hayden.

Dear Reader, I'm Ruth Ward, and I wrote the charity advent calendar book Murder Within Tent.
