Will do. When are you guys back open?
Hi Emlyn,
I read about your new book on the internet. I thought it might be fun to get in touch. Everything ok here. How are you and Josie? Wil you be visiting Amsterdam for some promotion for the new book? I’d love to have a beer with you again some time. Last time was in Londen if I’m correct. You bought us dinner! I’m going to read ‘Opgejaagd’ somewhere in the next few weeks, and I’ll let you know about the translation if you like. Good luck with the book and give my love to Josie.
Long time, no see! It’s Niels. I used to work at your Dutch publisher Arbeiderspers/Achipel. Long time ago we’ve hit the bars in Amsterdam. We drank Beerenburg together, but I doubt that you’ll remember that
See Ya,
Niels
Hi Emlyn We have a library customer enquiring about the 2nd title in the Danny Shanklin series ” Wanted ” when is it due out ? West Sussex Library Service
Hi Sue, It’s out in Jan 2014 – I know, a little late! A Quick Reads ‘short’ called Hostage, featuring Danny Shanklin, is out right now though!
Did I get back on this? It’s out in Feb. Meanwhile, though, Quick Reads have just done a prequel short novella called ‘Hostage’. Thanks and sorry for the late reply.
Just finished ‘Hunted’ and thoroughly enjoyed it BUT its not really a standalone novel I feel. The book shows they escape but then so do the bad guys. To finish the story you have to read the next’episode’ which will be 2/3 years later. What a shame as if I’d known this was part one I’d not have read it but it is well written and I shall try any further ‘standalone’ novels you produce. Sorry to express my negative feedback but most novels I read I like to feel have an end…..not wait a few years for episode two to appear.
Thanks for the feedback Nick. Sometimes books don’t get written as fast as you’d like. Such is life. Will sneak you an early copy of it when it’s out if you give me a nudge nearer the time.
Great, thanks for your reply. I shall certainly look forward to your next ‘instalment with baited breath! Seriously I really am. Looking forward too to a sneak preview as well.
Regards Nick
