I recently signed a contract giving Gollancz the ebook rights, which weren't in the original contract.<br /><br />The ebook rights to the two Josh Cumberland books, Edge and Point, have reverted to me, but I'm too busy to decide on their future for the moment. At some point they'll be available again.<br /><br />As for the protagonist, there might be a mismatch regarding the first name (it's not the one I want to use in the new books), but I'm sticking with just referring to the person's surname for now...John Meaneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13236108158993642237noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4010225.post-84776283263893212152014-07-17T20:14:46.144+00:002014-07-17T20:14:46.144+00:00Good luck with it.

I shall be trying to work out who that protagonist could be now. <br /><br />On a slightly different tack, do you have any input/control over which of your books gets converted to ebook format? Every time i visit Amazon i check the 'i want this as an ebook' box for your Tristopolis books and, as yet, nothing. Just wondering if you were aware of any plans to release your back catalogue on Kindle?Miles Campbellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14737762757952843006noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4010225.post-68230546967811920822014-07-12T22:00:05.826+00:002014-07-12T22:00:05.826+00:00Well, thank you, Miles!
So here's a secret: w...Well, thank you, Miles!<br /><br />So here's a secret: when I started the trilogy, I had no idea who the crystal lady really was (only that she was going to be in volume 3). Shh, don't tell anybody... Let them think I was smart enough to know it all in advance. Her transformation into the crystal lady surprised me as much as anyone - it all just poured out of the subconscious mind.<br /><br />In my own head right now, the 20th century timeline seems most real. But I might not feel that way in, say, a year's time.<br /><br />The only reason I'm not saying much about the next book is that it's not sold yet, so there's no guarantee it'll see the light of day. I've actually started a rewrite of the whole thing, which is <i>not</i> normal procedure when my agent has already sent the book out.<br /><br />It's an entirely contemporary cyber crime/counterrorism thriller. There's also a hidden Easter egg, in that the protagonist (of what I hope will be a series) is mentioned once by name in Resonance.<br /><br />Promise I'll share more when I can!John Meaneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13236108158993642237noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4010225.post-4359580116181061192014-07-11T17:22:09.709+00:002014-07-11T17:22:09.709+00:00You certainly deserved at least a 4 month break af...You certainly deserved at least a 4 month break after Resonance. I'm going to have to read the whole lot back to back to get the full experience but i loved every page whilst reading it. The various strands were all equally compelling and the weaving in of Nulapeiron and the crystal lady's back story was fantastic. Kudos. <br />Any hints as to what you are working on next?Miles Campbellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14737762757952843006noreply@blogger.com
