Hi, Everybody!
Just a quick note to let you know that the new 44 Book will be coming out this month...
As you might guess from the cover, there are a few minor changes this time around.
I wanted to write a standalone 44, a book where anybody could read the story and be able to follow it without having to read Books 1-7. There are no spoilers. (Of course, fans of 44 will have insider knowledge on a lot of things.)
For those who still really like counting, Dark Was the Night is unofficially Book 8 in the series.
Hope you are all having awesome late summer days~

Maybe I can work it out so I'm under a tropical sun while "thinking" about Book 9...:)
Happy Friday and hope you have fun weekend plans!
Jools
How much longer til the book comes out?I don't want to start another book if its coming out real soon.
ReplyDeleteHi, Kathy!
DeleteIt is coming out soon....real, real soon. I can't quite give the date yet, but it's within a week.
:)
Hope that helps and as always, thanks for being a SuperFan!!!
Jools
This isn't the type of book that I would have normally picked up, but the description sparked my interest. I was hooked after the first book and anxiously awaited each new installment. The books are well written and not only capture your interest but hold it and keep you coming back for more. I can't wait for book 8 and have been checking every day to see whether or not it has been released. I agree with a previous poster that I hope you are already working on book 9. :) Thank you for all of your efforts. I really enjoy your work.
ReplyDeleteHi, Shelly!
DeleteWow, your email here touched me deeply...thank you so much for your kind words.
We are soooooo very close to the release date of Book 8 (Dark was the Night) Within the week it will be out.
Thanks again for such a great email...Book 9, of course, is in my thoughts...but not too seriously until a nice little vacay :)
Jools
I just saw it today on my lunch break and am already several chapters in. I won't be able to get back to it until tomorrow but I'll finish it before the day is over. I love it so far. I hope you enjoy your vacation. I'll be anxiously awaiting your return (and your next installment). :)
Delete*waves to Jools* Been checking for the book every day. I know I will be doing the happy dance soon. Wishing you a relaxing vacation!

ReplyDeleteHi, Jeno1emma!

Jools
Been checking everyday, really go hooked and enjoying the 44 series. On a sad note I will have to wait longer as I'm off on holiday early hours Monday morning.
ReplyDeleteHi, Wendy!
DeleteWell, a holiday sounds wonderful :) I hope you're heading to the sun somewhere. Here in Bend it looks and feels like we've stepped into an early winter....ugggg :(
Thanks for being such a great fan~Book 8 will be be out soon!
Jools
love the series.. but I have a question, is Dark was the night book 8? if so cant wait to read it.
ReplyDeleteIf you read the descriptions Jools put in her blog under the cover of the new book she said it is written as a stand alone so new fans can pick it up and start reading but for those of us that have been reading since the first 44 book it is considered book #8.
DeleteHi, Ofelia and Kat!
DeleteYes, as Kat mentioned, Dark was the Night is Book 8 in the 44 series.
Thank you both for being such great fans! We're only hours away from the release...yay!!!
Jools
I just can't wait any longer! I'm so excited!
DeleteHi, Jessica!
DeleteYAY!!! Thanks for being such an awesome fan! The wait is over! yaw!
Hope you've got fun going on this weekend!
Jools

Jools

ReplyDeleteSo where is the new book. Sept. is over.
ReplyDeleteHi, Aprill!
DeleteYay! It's out!

Jools
Hey Jools, hope you have a good weekend. I was just wondering, from book seven who or what pushed abby's friend off the cliff and will we find out in the new upcoming book?
ReplyDeleteLoved this book!!
ReplyDeleteHi, sk!
ReplyDeleteThanks SO much! :)
Jools
Hi Jools, have loved the 44 series and there HAS to at least be a book 9. Too many things are left unanswered. Just to let you know, your writing has a target market for pre-teens and teens. I am a 62 year old grandmother of a 16 year old. She's too busy with homework until spring break to read all the books I've been reading. Believe me, I read every genre from 50 Shades to Anne of Green Gables. I love your writing style. Keep posting updates. Thanks, Elaine
ReplyDeleteHi, Elaine!
ReplyDeleteThanks SO much for the kind words, here!
And no worries...I've been working hard on Book Nine, and it will be out, hopefully, next month...
And you're so right...there is a lot more of the story to tell :)
Happy Thanksgiving and hope you've got some great turkey plans in the works~
Jools
