Odalisque Video
- - July 9th, 2007
This month, Orbit UK is publishing Odalisque, the start of a new series by Fiona McIntosh. It’s a dark novel set in a world of Byzantine manoeuvres and courtly intrigue — Interzone commented in their review: “I approached her new book Odalisque, set in the city-state of Percheron, with high expectations. They were more than justified . . . a beautifully structured novel, full of cruelty, wonder, mystery and terror. It has a splendid momentum that holds its audience through thick and thin. Fiona McIntosh goes from strength to strength. This is a dazzling start to her Percheron series.”
Fiona was in the UK on holiday last week, and in between sightseeing managed to get in a number of signings at bookshops in London: particular thanks to Stef at Waterstone’s 19-23 Oxford Street, Jon at Borders Oxford Street, Lee at Borders Charing Cross Road and C.J. at Waterstone’s Trafalgar Square. However, we also arranged for Fiona to make a short video about Odalisque, and you can see it on our YouTube page.

Dear Fiona
If your new serie is as page turning as the 2 previous trilogies, I’m bound to get a new finger and wrist tendinitis.
Bravo for the work so far. It gave ma many exciting and highly enjoyable hours.
Keep going

Hello Patrick
Forgive me that has taken a long time to reach you. I have only recently discovered your generous comment at the website. I’m thrilled that you’ve enjoyed The Quickening and Trinity and thank you for giving Odalisque and its subsequent volumes – Emissary and Goddess – a try. I do hope they satisfy. I’m grateful to all the readers in the UK, who have such a wide choice in their fantasy reading, for giving my books such brilliant support. Being born and raised in UK this means a lot to me. By all means visit at my website – there’s something like 700 members there and I drop by several times daily. You would be most welcome.
Thanks again – happy reading. Hope to meet you sometime at a signing and than you in person. F
