Works in progress

Hey, all, I do keep promising more news about things surrounding the upcoming release of A Monster Calls (only about 7 weeks to go!), and there really is a lot, just not much I can say quite yet.  Bear with me!

I can say, though, that a Top 10 List scored a narrow victory in that Guardian Children's Books website poll of what you all wanted me to do, so watch out for that soon!  In fact, the victory was so narrow, that maybe both choices will get a look in.  Stay tuned...

I can also say that it looks like I'll be heading to South Africa for a week in late September.  I'll let you know as soon as I have more details, but I can't wait!

More soon, I promise.  Meanwhile, welcome to the new commenters (including a couple South Africans, hello!).  Remember that I'm on Twitter now as @Patrick_Ness, so follow me there, if you like (over 500 of you so far), and in answer to a (South African!) query, if you're having trouble downloading the FREE ebook of the "New World" prequel short story, you can also download it (for free!) here as a pdf.
