Several steps closer to a SABRIEL film . . . One of the
frequent questions that I usually don't adequately answer is about what is
happening with a possible SABRIEL film. Well, today I can say a bit more
than usual as PUBLISHING NEWS has reported on the "package" that
we have put together and will be taking to studios in That package
is: DIRECTOR: Anand
Tucker (HILARY & JACKIE, SHOPGIRL and the original director of THE
GOLDEN COMPASS before he left over creative differences) WRITTEN BY: Dan Futterman
(Academy Award nominee for his script of CAPOTE and also well-known actor,
most recently in A MIGHTY HEART) and Garth Nix PRODUCED BY: Dede
Gardner and Jeremy Kleiner of Plan B (Brad Pitt's production company). I have always
said that I wanted to co-write the script and work with people who had made
great films and whose work I respected, this team
represents the achievement of that goal. I'll keep you
all posted on what happens from here. Obviously we hope it will proceed,
but it may not, given the vagaries of the film world. The PN report
is here http://tinyurl.com/423995 SUPERIOR SATURDAY all done, out in June/July 2008, sample podcasts Much later than I should have, and with
the help of very understanding editors and publishing staff, I have finally
signed off on the page proofs. SUPERIOR SATURDAY will be out in June 2008
in http://www.allenandunwin.com/_uploads/documents/kidsandteens/Superior_Sat_prologue.mp3
and http://www.allenandunwin.com/_uploads/documents/kidsandteens/Superior_Sat_chapter1.mp3 Read some of my fiction free online My Aurealis award-winning
novella “Sir
Hereward and Mister Fitz Go To War Again”
has been made available to read for free by the good folks at JIM
BAEN’S UNIVERSE. My Ditmar-nominated
story “Bad
Luck, Trouble, Death and Vampire Sex” from the ECLIPSE
anthology has been made available by the kindness of Night Shade. (Both of these stories are for adults.
The second one contains lots of swear words.) The first chapter of A CONFUSION OF
PRINCES is also available here. THE SEVENTH TOWER released in the UK THE
FALL, the first book in THE SEVENTH TOWER sequence which was
originally published in the IMPERIAL GALAXY The Science Fiction MMOG on Facebook The Open Beta test continues. If you
have a Facebook account or want to start one, you
can add the game right now here, or from
the website www.imperialgalaxy.com
which also has more information about the game. (Or you can add it from the
Facebook application directory.) There is now
also a wiki at www.imperialgalaxy.com/igwiki
We also have a related gift application
on Facebook called MY FAMILIAR,
featuring the beautiful eggs painted by Jonathan
Nix and animated familiars by Jonathan and Brendan Williams. Also, I am happy to friend any readers
who would like me to do so on Facebook.
Unfortunately I don’t have time to respond to all the various gifts,
pokes, vampires etc More I will be writing two
more novels set in the The first, probably out
in 2010, will be Clariel: The
Lost Abhorsen, which is the story of the
young woman who eventually became Chlorr of the
Mask. It takes place about 320 years before the events in Sabriel. The second is untitled, and is a
sequel of sorts to Abhorsen, taking
place several years later. It should be out in 2011. Both 2010 and
2011 seem like a long way away but no doubt will sneak up on me horribly
when I least expect it. Sometimes I think time is a practitioner of the
secret Welsh martial art of Llap-Goch. There will also be a
standalone science fiction novel, called A Confusion of Princes,
which should be out in 2009. This novel provides the background for the mmog IMPERIAL GALAXY and you can read the first chapter

Lady Friday came out in March 2007
LADY FRIDAY was released in March and
got up to #4 on the overall bestseller lists in Australia and was the #1
children’s title for March and April, was as high as #9 in the UK
