Another one bites the dust. Yesterday, I delivered the manuscript of the fifth Primavera novel to my friends at Headline, two months before P4, Deadly Business, hits the shops and e-stores. The current production schedule means that it won’t be published until the beginning of 2014, but it’s off my desktop. Now I can turn my attention to the new Rebus. John has been waiting patiently at the top of my reading pile for a few weeks. Almost ready, mate; soon as I finish The Blind Man of Seville.

Still holding my breath for Skinner—-but just finished the latest Rankin-Rebus and it, too, was worth waiting for. Wonder if he’s going to continue back in the game. Thin k I personally like Skinner as an indvidual but Rebus is a great character to follow. Does it ever bother you that you’re looking at a 2014 publication date? It bothers ME!!
All these dates are set down in contracts. That doesn’t mean they can’t be varied, but when you’re publishing two books each year, the scope for doing that is limited.
