Holiday bargains at Kobo
Kobo is running a whole batch of promotions over the holiday period, and many of my books are included:

My complete ShadowTech series is included in their box-set bundle offer‌—‌get two box-sets for $20 (£15). Considering the ShadowTech series retails for roughly that price alone, it’s a bargain!
This offer runs until 29th December.
Kobo are running a feature on titles in their Kobo+ subscription program, and one of the highlighted titles is my complete Dominions series. Read for free in Kobo+.




And if you’re a part of Kobo’s VIP scheme, you can get my series starters for 40% off until the end of the year.
So head over to Kobo for some end-of-year bargains, and start 2026 with some exciting new reading.
All my books are half price in the Smashwords end-of-year sale
The title says it all. Smashwords are running an End-Of-Year sale, and it includes all my books at 50% off — that’s all the novels, novellas, short stories and box-sets. Visit smashwords.com/sale to see what else is on offer, or jump to smashwords.com/profile/view/TWIain to get a bargain on my books.
This offer runs from Dec 8th to January 1st.
Why get ebooks from Smashwords? Okay, they don’t deliver directly to your ereader, but neither do they tie you in to a particular device. Buy or download from Smashwords, and you can transfer the book to whatever device you prefer. And if they change their terms-of-service, it doesn’t affect any books you already have — they’re yours, just as if you’d bought a physical copy. There’s none of this ‘buying a licence to read the book, not actually buying a digital copy’ stuff you get with certain other ebook sales sites.
So check out smashwords.com/sale for some bargain holiday reading.
Tales of Dominions is now out
I’m pleased to announce that Tales of Dominions, the collection of novellas and short stories around my dark Dystopian thriller series Dominions, is now available to buy. The ebook should be available from all the usual stores, and the paperback is available from Amazon.

Life inside the Dome is perfect. Outside, it’s anything but.
Beyond the glass lies a brutal world where power is measured in blood, where loyalty shifts like shadows. Assassins lurk in the darkness, criminal empires clash, and survival means staying one step ahead of the blade.
In these six gripping tales, those who dare to make a difference battle ruthless enemies — and their own demons. And when mercy is a weakness, there’s no guarantee of a happy ending.
Tales of Dominions includes the short stories Animus, Impact and Gatekeeper. It also includes the novellas Errant and Expedient, alongside Control, a story that has previously only been available to mailing list subscribers. This is the first time any of these stories have been available in paperback.

‘Tales of Dominions’: special editions on Kickstarter
As I work on a new series I’m also tying up loose ends on previous series. One of these involves the various Dominions stories I’ve published‌—‌those novellas and shorts that work as side-stories to the main nine-novel series. I’ve wanted to bundle them up in a single volume for a while, and I’ve finally got around to it.
Tales of Dominions will include all the published stories‌—‌Gatekeeper, Expedient, Errant, Animus and Impact‌—‌along with behind-the-scenes notes. It will also include Control, a novella previously only available through my newsletter.
Tales of Dominions will be available in ebook, paperback and hard-cover‌—‌but I’m not releasing it in the usual stores. Initially, Tales of Dominions will only be available through Kickstarter. And this will also include special exclusive print versions.
This Kickstarter campaign starts in the middle of next month, running for about three weeks. But if it sounds interesting, you can visit the pre-launch page. Click on the ‘notify me on launch’ button, and Kickstarter will email you when the campaign goes live.
