Well, I've had a little co-ordinated invasion, I think, on the Comments page, in the best possible sense.  Quite a few people, all at once, are clamouring for more Chaos Walking and asking about the books to come.  Yes, I'm talking about you, Karly and Tiffany and Karen and Madison and...  Same class, maybe?  Reading group?  Good stuff, very happy to hear from you.

What I can say about all that is this:  My next book, planned for May 2011 in the UK, is called A Monster Calls and you can find more info about it here.  It's a different sort of thing, but I really hope you'll like it.

After that?  I don't really care for trilogies that suddenly keep on going when they really shouldn't, but whether there might be other stories to tell on New World, who can say?  I'm a real never-say-never kind of guy, and I just have to write what comes next. 

What I can say is that just yesterday (yes, indeed, 25 August) I wrote the first words of a brand new book (for after A Monster Calls).  I can't say what it's about just yet, but it's got some evil brewing in it (in a good way) that it's possible you all might enjoy.  Watch this space, eh?
