J.T.’s comments from the Ask Catherine Coulter & J.T. Ellison group.

Tracy, there will be. We're working on the 3rd book right now. Nicholas and Mike facing down a Carlos the Jackal-esque assassin. Fun stuff!

The beautiful thing about being a writer, we get our ideas everywhere. From the latest headlines to the clouds in the sky to music that triggers a memory - there is an unending source of plots to be pulled from the well. I have at least 10 book ideas sitting on my computer at any given time.

Hi Kathy - JT here - I'm pretty sure the next Savich and Sherlock (NEMESIS) will be out in July, and Nicholas and Mike will be out in September. As for the new book, we're writing it right now. Think Carlos the Jackal...

Catherine was looking for a cowriter, and I was the lucky one who got picked. She tells the story better than I, so I'll wait for her to pop on here and fill in the blanks, but we've been together now for 2 1/2 years, which is hard to believe.

Trish wrote: "Just starting The Lost Key. A new book from the library and only have until 11/10 to finish. Don't think it will be a problem! Enjoyed so many of Ms. Coulters' books. Will Drummond and Caine travel..."

I would have to vote yes, there. It's so much fun to visit new countries and cities, and since Nicholas is international himself, it's fitting for them to go overseas when his contacts will be of use.

Gail wrote: "Did either of you find it difficult to work with a co-author? Also, how did you decide who would write what?"

Hi Gail - I found it to be incredibly rewarding. Two brains are definitely better than one. Once Catherine and I found the common ground we needed, namely, a picture of Nicholas Drummond, things went smoothly from there. And we work very closely together on the story and plot and character development, so it's pretty seamless.

Taylor and Baldwin have not gotten married. They're still living in sin!

Melanie wrote: "While I also love everything she's written, and plan to read anything with her name on it in the future, I am a diehard fan of the Taylor Jackson series! I recommend them to everyone who'll listen ..."

Really bad dreams.... I actually had to lay off writing serial killers after THE COLD ROOM. I freaked myself out with all the possibilities! Thanks for the kind words about the Taylor series. News on her in the new year!

Melanie wrote: "poop, I think I've missed the last Sam Owens... it fell off my radar for a bit and I don't think my (work) bookstore actually had any of it :("

The newest one is WHEN SHADOWS FALL.... Hope you can find it, it's out in book hardcover and mass market now.

Melanie wrote: "I really want to post a question to Catherine and J.T. in the questions to the authors board asking about the next Taylor installment or if she'll ever visit the west coast for a signing, etc., but..."

Melanie, hang tight, Taylor news in the new year. Yay, right? I love her too! And I'll be in San Diego next week signing at the Veteren's Book Fair. See here for more details: http://www.militarybookfair.org Hope you can make it!

Carla wrote: "I have never read one of her books except the 2 she co-wrote with Catherine Coulter. I will have to go and check them out. Some good recommendations here."

I hope you like them!

Perfect for a spooky Halloween night - thank you!

Debbie wrote: "Wow that's a very difficult question because I LOVE everything she writes. I guess My favorite so far is her last Sam Owens novel When Shadows Fall.
Love all three of her fabulous series!!!"

Thank you so much! I love that one too.
