Random news:
The movie adaptation of Malice is progressing nicely. The screenwriter is working on the first draft of the script now and will probably deliver around the end of February, and we’ll see where we go from there.
I’ve spent the last couple of months knocking around some secret little projects, and discussing with publishers about my next book; I’ll let you know as and when something solid is in place.
I will definitely be at the SFX weekender, and more than likely showing my mug on a panel or two. It’s all being organised at the mo. Again, I’ll tell you as soon as I know.
I’ve received final copies of Havoc, resplendent in bilious green. Yay! As I posted elsewhere, is doesn’t have the big 3D cover of Malice because it would be prohibitively expensive to do that for both books in the series, but it’s still embossed so you can stroke Tall Jake and you’ll find him pleasingly tactile. Ahem.
The mass market paperback of Retribution Falls will come out in April in the UK (that’s the small, cheap paperback version). As a bonus, in addition to my lovingly crafted section on How To Play Rake, there will be included the Logbook Of The Ketty Jay, which was an informal prequel that I blogged online in the months before the book came out. Or you can just read it here for a taster. And if that’s not enough, there’ll also be the first chapter of The Black Lung Captain included.
Speaking of BLC, it’s been delivered to the publishers and I expect the edits back any second. That one will soon be in the bag, and I love it dearly…
I hope to be able to give to another update with some more definite news on proceedings and upcoming projects soon. Right at the moment it’s all about the behind-the-scenes machinations. Hang in there!
Scusate ma Havoc è una parte comica o è la vera continuazione di Malice?
Yes, Havoc is a continuation of Malice. Mondadori are publishing it in Italian later this year, but I don’t know exactly when. You can contact them here if you like, and they should be able to tell you.
i love the book malice its one of my favourite books i let my cousin borrow and she doesnt really like books but now we cant wait to read havoc
I mean its one of my favourite books i let my cousin borow it
I can’t beleave they are making a Malice movie!
Just so you know i think that Fantasy was speaking Italian and said “Sorry, but Havoc is a comic, or is the true continuation of Malice?” Which make no scence.
Hello I am a 12 year old reader and I have just found Malice in my library. It is a very good book and I would like to know when the movie is coming out and if there will be a 3rd book.
Drear Chris, can you tell us what the name of the movie will be or are you keeping it a secret?
it felt like at the midway of havoc u were kinda rushing was there gonna be a third book and it got canceled and u had to cram like 1 and a half book into the last half of havoc???
I was wondering, what range of actors are you planning for the characters, or if you’re planning on getting actual, everyday fans ?
I really hope they’ll make a proper impact, Malice&Havoc deserve as much.

Hi Chris, thank you for the Ketty Jay adventures I have loved them all (each better than the last) and am holding my breath (not literally!) for the next instalment… are they up for any TV/movie adaptions? as the movie franchises come to there ends, potters, batman’s and other such fan stuff we are in need of original and new heros to sweat about and the A-team meets Pirates of the Caribbean in alternate universe combo is a wonder to behold…
hanging on to me Rake hand… grog gorged keep ‘em coming
best regards
