A Busy Summer Ahead...
Sorry it's been a while since the last post. There's been lots going on - mainly me working on the beginnings of a new novel, which I think might become a series… though you can never tell until you get further in to the writing. At the moment there are many scattered fragments of story episodes in a red file on my desk, and each day I play about adding to one or the other, or scribbling notes about how they might fit together. My plan is to work hard on this over the next couple of months, so that by the end of the summer the book outline (and hopefully a clear chunk of it) will be in good shape.
I'll also be doing a lot of events in the next few weeks: visiting LONDON MCM ComicCon this weekend, Hay on Wye on Monday 30th May, St Malo for Etonnant Voyageurs 11-13th June, and New Orleans for the American Library Association get-together at the end of June.
Further ahead, there's exciting talk of visiting Estonia in the autumn, and I'll be in Germany and hopefully Ireland too. Right… time to open the RED FILE…

Wow! That's so exciting!! I can't wait to hear more about this new novel :D And I loved the new Bartimaeus book!!! :)
Just wanted to say how much I am enjoying the new Bartimaeus novel. It was SO exciting to come across it in the bookstore! If you ever come to the U.S. for a tour, please convince your publisher to send you to Kansas City. Yes, Kansas is kind of flat and prone to tornadoes, but we'll feed you barbecue and Tippin's chocolate pies!
