Since nobody's brought it up yet, I figured I'd better mention this:
Jasper's next book will be delayed a year and released in 2009.
Apparently he has this crazy idea that a new baby might take up all his time, and also that another year might make
Shades of Grey even better.
Okay, in all seriousness, I'm okay with this. He's managed to make some pretty darn excellent books at a rate of one per year, but I'm all for taking more time to ensure that he doesn't get himself into a rut or rush things too much. And besides, he and Mari will be pretty busy for a while and I wish them the best of luck!
It will be a long wait until July 2009, but it will be all the sweeter when it comes.
