Mike Mullin I've written the first half of the fourth ASHFALL novel three times now. I think the current attempt may work. But in any case, the first draft still isn't done. Sorry about the wait! The good news is that I do have a new book coming out next year, a YA thriller called SURFACE TENSION that will launch in May. Hope you enjoy it!
Mike Mullin Hi Derek, thanks for your question, and I'm glad you enjoyed my books so much! BLADES OF SPRING is my official name for the fourth book, but ultimately my publisher controls the titles, so it may change sometime between now and the publication date.

I got the idea for the ASHFALL series from reading another book, Bill Bryson's A Short History of Nearly Everything. I get almost all my ideas from reading other people's books.

Mike Mullin Yes, my young adult thriller titled SURFACE TENSION will be out next year. It's about a teen who sees a group of terrorists causing a plane crash from the ground. He's the only one who knows how they're causing plane crashes, they notice him watching them, and they want him dead.
Mike Mullin By contract, I have to deliver the book on or before 12/31/17. I hope to get it done sooner, but I plan to take as much time as I need to write the best book I can. About four weeks ago I threw out 300 pages and started over. I'm much happier with the current draft.
Mike Mullin I've started calling it Blades of Spring, but I don't know if that will be the final title. There's a little more info here: http://mikemullinauthor.com/ashfall-4/.
Mike Mullin Yes, it's true. And Tanglewood Press has contracted to publish it. More info here: http://mikemullinauthor.com/ashfall-4/.
