Hi Jo, I am in the middle of Among Others and must say its one of the best novels I have read in a long time. I have been an avid reader since my teens...however...I had a dry spell for the past year. Your masterpiece has brought back the magic of reading! When will your next novel be released? Thank you, Kevin

Hi Kevin,
Among Others was my ninth novel, and I've published three more since. My books are all different from each other, so liking one doesn't necessarily mean you'll like the others. My next book is "Necessity", due out in June 2016, it's the third in the Thessaly trilogy that starts with "The Just City".
I'm very glad AO brought back the magic of reading. That's a wonderful thing to hear. If you feel it flagging again in future, you might want to look at my essay collection "What Makes This Book So Great", which is me burbling enthusiastically about older books I like and why I like them.
