Previously I posted that THE WAR BENEATH was a semi-finalist in the 2018 GLOBAL THRILLER Awards. I found out on Friday 10 May that the book won First Place in the Action / Adventure category. These awards are known as the CIBAs. Here’s the announcement:

Second Print Run for THE WAR BENEATH

Good news from ChiZine Publications, the publisher on THE WAR BENEATH. They are sending the novel back for another print run. Sales have been good and I’m thrilled to announce that there will be more copies of this underwater science fiction thriller available!

This, along with the news last week of the book now being available to purchase in hardcover, are very good signs indeed.
