Was mich vor allem interessiert: Was haltet ihr davon, dass im Herbst ein 4. Band erscheinen soll?

Here’s some news. I’m working on a new Bartimaeus project. Actually, I’ve been working on it, off and on, for about a year now, with a big break in the middle to do the Heroes tours. I’ve kept pretty quiet about it up until now for a variety of reasons, partly because I wanted to be sure it was going to work, and partly because I wanted to get the contractual side of things sorted. But (at long last) I think the time’s right to go on the record about it here. The current plan is to aim for an autumn 2010 publication, both in the US and UK, which would be fantastic, and also match up nicely with the proposed publication of the Amulet graphic novel, about the same time. If this is going to work out, though, I’m going to have to write my socks off for the next six months or so, because there’s still a LOT of work to do. Currently Bart resides in two slightly garish pink ring- binders, one comprising text and the other notes. The aim is to turn all this into a nice, neatly stacked pile of manuscript by the spring.
As for the details of the book… small things like plot and structure are still proving slightly fluid, so I won’t make any public predictions just yet. But I’ll let you know more right here, just as soon as I can. In the meantime, I suppose I’d better get back to work. I’ve got a djinni waiting.

Not much to report, except for the essentials, which are that the new Bart book continues apace and I’m pleased with the way it’s looking so far. Haven’t done much of any significance at all in the last few weeks, apart from write. Of course, that’s the way it’s got to be, but it makes for a fairly tedious journal… Oh well. Mind you, this week will be different: I’m off to New York tomorrow for some meetings with my US publishers; and after that back to London to see my UK ones, to talk through the schedule for next year and the whole Bartimaeus campaign. It looks like publication will be relatively early next autumn, though the exact dates aren’t yet fixed. I shall report more soon.
With luck a German edition will be out around the same time as the UK/US, providing there’s time to get the translation completed. The long and short of it all is I mustn’t play fast and loose with my deadlines… And that in turn means I’d better get back to work!
Die ersten drei Bücher haben mir zwar sehr gut gefallen, aber...
Spoiler
Also ich bräuchte dieses 4. Buch eher nicht, aber ich werde es natürlich trotzdem lesen.
