AUTHOR INTERVIEW: Peter McLean Talks Priest of Lies

Welcome to this Track of Words Author Interview, my ongoing series of quick interviews with science fiction and fantasy authors talking about their new releases. These are short and sweet interviews, with the idea being that each author will answer (more or less) the same questions – by the end of each interview I hope you will have a good idea of what the new book is about, what inspired it and why you might want to read or listen to it.

In this instalment I spoke to Peter McLean about his new novel Priest of Lies, which is available now from Jo Fletcher Books in the UK and Ace Books in North America. I’m a big fan of Peter’s writing, and his current series is one of the best I’ve read in a long time!
