Been a while. As it stands, I’m almost three quarters through The Ace Of Skulls, and I’ve completed the frankly epic task of editing The Twilight War (which is Act One of Broken Sky for all you old-schoolers, not a battle between glittery vampire bad-boy cliches over the heart of a simpering loser with no will of her own). Not sure when I’ll get to the next two but a quick skim tells me I won’t have to do half as much work on those guys. They’ll be done eventually, at which point I’ll make all three available together. That, at least, is the plan.
Now, for all you very lovely patient people who haven’t totally flipped out yet because The Iron Jackal is still not out in ebook in the US, and apparently the Ketty Jay series isn’t available at all on ebook in Canada… I do have the answer. I just, er, can’t tell you 
If you hang on juuuust a little longer I ought to be able to. I can say that they will be available, barring some kind of disaster, but I can’t tell you when, ’cause that part I don’t know myself yet. Anyway, it’s in hand. Apologies for the secrecy, but that’s the way business works I guess: slow and behind the scenes. It’s why it takes ages before I’m able to give definitive announcements on perennial favourites like:
1) Will there be a third Malice book? (I doubt it. Let’s just say no, shall we? It’s easier.)
2) Will there be a sequel to Pandemonium? (I hope so, but it’s up to the publishers.)
3) When will the movie version of (insert book here) come out? (Never, stop asking.)
4) Why don’t you make a movie of (insert book here)? (Because I don’t live in a house made of gold so I can’t afford to).
The Ace Of Skulls is taking a bit longer than I thought but is still well in hand for an October 2013 publication. Silver is just getting the final checks before it goes to the printers so that’s all ready for its May release. Woo for 2013!
Butbutbut! I *need* a third Malice book! D: And I’m sure that your other avid readers will need it too.
As to lack of a golden house, maybe you can commander few ships full of gold that’s coming back from…that famous place full of gold in South America (my brain can’t think of the name at the moment. Not that my brain is capable of thinking of much anyway) and get one? That way you should be able to afford to make a movie of every book you’ve ever written and will ever write because, I know (as well as the other people) that every one of them will be a massive blockbusting success.
Actually, don’t commandeer the ships yourself. Maybe the Ketty Jay crew could do this for you?
(I’m sorry for the ravings of a loon…)
A sequel to Pandemonium would be stellar.
@Kayta, I think you’re talking about El Dorado which was a Spanish legend that the searched for in South America.
@James Yup, that’s exactly it
Anyone remember this from back in the day? Or is nobody quite as ancient as me?
A third Malice would be awesome, but while I wait I’ll read “Fan spin offs”. Yep you’d be surprised about the websites with Malice stuff.Type in this web site http://www.fanfiction.net/book/Malice-Chris -Wooding/ Sorry it wouldn’t come up as a link, but I typed it into search bar and the site came up so it should work for anyone who wants to check it out This site shows stories other people have made up about Malice. You should take a look at your fans writing Chris. It’s a good way to see how people see your characters.
Ok for the comment above!!! Because I was stupid if you do want to see the site: Click on the link. It will probably take you to fanfiction.com .When you get there it says”Page not found” So if you STILL want to find it, go to the “browse”
button and then click “books” After that a huge list of books comes up and above that there’s an alphabet. Click the ‘M’ for Malice. Scroll through the list and click Malice. There’s also a section for Poison. Sorry for the confusion and for clogging the blog.
…. Yes. I remember that. But I refuse to admit ancieosity, as I am a female and delicate about that sort of thing.
Never seen it before (my excuse is that I had most part of my childhood outside of UK, we had our own little gems <3) but now I'm really tempted to try and find it so that I can watch it!
Broken Sky cannot get here soon enough.
Hey Chris!
Ever since you sparked my interest in reading during my senior year in high school with the book “Storm Thief”, I’ve read almost all of your books! I’m now in my second year of my Master’s program in psychology, and I have still yet to find an author I like more than you (and I’ve read a lot of authors). I think what I like most is your writing style. I love how you go back to past scenarios in books to help remind the reader what event occurred, or why a person reacts the way they do. It helps people with a terrible memory such as myself. Also, now that I’ve read more authors, I appreciate the descriptions you give characters and locations. The way you write just flows so well, as opposed to some others that dawdle on in an Ernest Hemingway type fashion.
Keep up the great work! I can’t wait to read what you put out next!
I do agree that a sequel to Pandemonium would be really awesome. I just can’t get enough of it!
More power, and keep up the astoundingly great work! I absolutely love the way you write! I will patiently wait for your other works as well!
I am twelve years old and I read your book “Pandemonium” as a Battle of the Books book in Chicago. My friends and I are a huge fan of Seifer, I was wondering; are you going to be writing a sequel?
