Just a little celebratory email today to let you know I’ve finished the next Rockpools book The Island of Dragons – Hooray! I think I sat down to work out the plot in early January so this is the quickest I’ve ever finished a full draft. I’m not quite sure what’s made me so productive, though it could be the spinach smoothies* we’ve been knocking back every day here. It’s not quite finished of course, I’ll go over it again a couple of times, but I have a feeling it’s actually pretty much there already.

However, I’m going to take a couple of weeks break, so I can go back to it relatively fresh, and I wanted to ponder what I should write next (and maybe even think of a plot, if those smoothies keep working their magic). Hence this email. I thought I’d ask you lovely lot for what you’d like me to get on with next. I’ve narrowed down the choices to:

  1. Book 5 in the Rockpools series. I know you haven’t had the chance to read book 4 yet, and you might be sick of it once you have, but let’s imagine it’s really, really good! 🙂
  2. A sequel to my first novel The Wave at Hanging Rock. I’m feeling I might be ready to attempt this now.
  3. A brilliant new standalone novel. I have no idea what, nor if ‘brilliant’ would end up being the operative word to describe it. But I could try.
  4. None of the above, in fact nothing at all. Please stop writing. You get the idea.

Just one question. Please vote on the poll below. I make no promises I’ll listen even if everyone asks for one option. I might decide to write An Illustrated History of Croatian pottery** – you know what us creatives are like.

Thanks in advance!

Oh – I nearly forgot my shameless plug opportunity – you can pre-order The Island of Dragons right here. And huge thanks to all those who already have. You rock.

*Smoothie recipe: one mango or half a pineapple, one banana, half cup of water, massive wodge of spinach. Blitz it until whoever’s in your kitchen yells at you to shut-up. Drink. Yum.

** I think I could make this work. Croatian pottery is pretty interesting. Probably.
