About this Event

We are excited to welcome Mike Brooks to Waterstones Nottingham for the launch of his new fantasy novel, Where the Future Bleeds. Mike will be in conversation with John French.


Kitt Carver is one of the best diviners in the business at finding destinies for the rich and powerful. When she’s nearly killed, and her regular broker is murdered, it becomes clear someone has an issue with the last destiny she found.

Determined not to let anyone else die, Kitt gathers a mismatched group – including Two Tongue Derna, her childhood friend and now a renowned street duellist, and Sulian the Swallowmage, powerful but plagued with intrusive visions of futures – and sets off across the Timeless Lands to warn the destiny’s recipient.

However, unbeknownst to Kitt, she has her own destiny; one which might spell disaster for everyone.


Mike will talk about his new book before an audience Q&A and book signing.



Mike Brooks is the author of The God-King Chronicles epic fantasy series; the Keiko series of grimy space-opera novels; and upcoming fantasy adventure This Is Where The Future Bleeds, as well as various works of tie-in fiction including Brutal Kunnin and The Lion: Son of the Forest. He was born in Ipswich, Suffolk, and moved to Nottingham to go to university when he was eighteen, where he still lives with his wife, cats, and snakes. He worked in the homelessness sector for fifteen years before going full-time as an author, plays guitar and sings in a punk band, and DJs wherever anyone will tolerate him. He is queer, and partially deaf (no, that occurred naturally, and a long time before the punk band).
