NEWS - new series, new books, new covers

Yes, there is a NEW SERIES out this month, and judging by the mail I’m getting,
folks don’t seem to realise what it is. There’s a NEW FIVE-BOOK STAR WARS SERIES for
adult readers based on the Clone Wars movie and TV cartoon show, and I’m writing
three of them. But because the movie and the TV show are for the youngsters, and I
write adult fiction, then you can deduce that the novels will show you stuff you
won’t see on screen. (This is separate from the young adult books that are also
being published. )

CLONE WARS, the hardcover based on the movie - loosely based, so no griping that
it’s different, because that’s the whole point - is out on July 26. Full of the
gritty, off-message, character-testing, question-raising, grey-area,
military-oriented stuff you’ve come to expect from me. And clones. Plenty of clones.
And familiar characters from the movies that you won’t see quite the same way ever
again.

My good buddy Karen Miller is writing the other two novels. She doesn’t write
predictable books either, so stand by for a challenging series that will make you
take another fresh look at the Clone Wars. “

Sounds like we can expect for the novels to go away from the children aspect of the TV series. Should be interesting!

Thanks to Zee Zee for the tip.
