Hi, just a quick blog to let you know that while DANNY 2:3 is on schedule, the schedule is wrong. I have, as ever, underestimated how long it takes to edit these monsters. You’d think I’d know this off-rote by now, but I don’t.

Soooooo………. Road Movie will not be with you till April. Sorry. I’m not going to give you a date in April as yet – don’t want to disappoint y’all again, but maybe you’ll have it as an Easter present. No promises.

Good news is, all being well, you will have it in April. And remember, lest you be crushed by this disappointing news, you will get the final (complete) Volume – DANNY 3 this year too. Don’t have a firm title for that one yet.

After that, you will (very quickly, as it is edited already) get DANNY 4 (all 76 pages of it), Death in Venice and The Boy With The Red Hair. I will be issuing them in that order (I think) and I will do them separately first then as a compendium with all 3 in it for DANNY completists.

No, I have no (immediate) intentions of completing DANNY 4, that’s why I’m issuing it as it stands, so you will at least have idea where the Jackson Moores were headed at the end of their epic journey. If I ever do finish it, it will not ruin it as, at 76 pages, it’s just a trailer really. Remember, DANNY 3 was the original Volume 4, so you don’t really need to read the ‘new’, incomplete volume if you don’t want to. I just felt their story wasn’t finished as I hadn’t filled in the family history; that’s what the ‘new’ volume was going to do. But in real life you don’t know family histories often, so you can be all Zen about it and leave the unfinished 4 alone and just stop with 3, the original end.

After that’s all out, I shall be moving on to a new novel, one of many, I hope, which will be very mainstream. At least as mainstream as I can make it. Certainly in size and (complete absence of) sexual content. Not going down that road again. Ever. I have decided that 2013 is the year that I go to the big houses; enough of hiding in the margins of ‘weird niche’ and being dismissed as “pornography”.

So, that’s it. You won’t be getting Road Movie till Easter or later, but after that 2012 will be a non-stop fest of all things DANNY, after which, of course, it will actually stop. But you knew this day was coming……. right?

Right, marching on…
