Jade asked J.D. Barker:

How many books are you considering to write for 4MK series? How long did you took to write the fourth monkey? Where did you get the idea from while naming the series and why? Can't wait to read the next book.

J.D. Barker Wow, that's a lot of questions :)

There are three planned books in the current 4MK series and I'm considering writing three prequels. We'll have to see how things shake out with the movie and TV show, then figure out where to go next. I absolutely love these characters, though - TFM was one of the funnest books I've written to date.

Book titles can be tough. The working title of this novel was DIARY OF A MADMAN but I knew we couldn't go to press with that (Ozzy might come knocking on my door). DO NO EVIL was another possible title but there are approximately 1.6 billion books with that title. In the end, I sat down one day and just started brainstorming, created a list, and when I wrote THE FOURTH MONKEY I knew I had it.

Thanks for the kind words! Can't wait to share the next one!

I absolutely adore Dracul, it's one of my favourite books of all time! I was wondering if you know whether there are any plans for it to be released in Germany eventually? I'd love to recommend it to friends who aren't fluent in English.

Julie Kubitz asked J.D. Barker:

I have to ask.... Is The Sixth Wicked Child going to be published in print as well as on audio?? When I look it up on our bookseller sites all I'm seeing is audio version being released the end of this month. Please, please tell me I'll get a book in my hands as well!?!?
