big announcement: the sixth (and final) Wilderness novel

Wildernessnovel6Yesterday I signed the contracts for a new Wilderness novel, as yet untitled. Contract went into the mail and now I'm free to make the announcement.

One more novel, which I will start writing as soon as I finish Pajama Jones. The new novel will be set almost entirely in Paradise over the course of a summer, with all the Bonner family in attendance. The story will focus on Daniel and Gabriel in the first line, and Elizabeth and Nathaniel as well.

Good news, eh?

Wow! I'm so excited. Thank you for continuing the series one more book. I feel like I know these people you've created, and now I'll know them a little longer.

Yay! That's very good news. When you get into such a good "series", you never want it to end. I wonder: do you have any idea how many books you'd like to write with those characters, or do you take one book at a time?

Yeah!!! That is good news. It is amazing how sad it is when a book series comes to an end!

Excellent news!

It's always nice to be sure of the next "fix"!
;) Yay, I really am excited! I dying to find out about Lily & Simon...

Daniel's a little young for me (and fictional) but I got a bit of a crush on him in the last book. And I'm happiest when I'm in Paradise with the Bonners, so this is excellent news. Thanks!

11. Rachel spoke up on June 30, 2006 12:21 PM and said:

Sheesh... I didn't read the title: 6th and final Wilderness Novel. I'm sorry, I know stupid questions are so redundant!

Great news!

15. Alyssa spoke up on June 30, 2006 8:35 PM and said:

This news brought a tear to my eye. Not sure if it was because we get another book, Yay, or if it was because it'll be the last time we hear about Paradise. Either way i'm obviously a sook, but thanks for giving it to us anyway.

16. Robyn spoke up on June 30, 2006 8:43 PM and said:

Woohoo! thank you, thank you, thank you!! Very exciting news. The inner child in me is clapping her hands and wiggling her hips!

Great news.

That is great news. I like Gabriel so it would be good to see more of him.

18. Kristina Lynn spoke up on July 1, 2006 7:14 AM and said:

Wonderful! I feel like doing my happy dance!

19. Bruce MCcorrister spoke up on July 1, 2006 1:28 PM and said:

Six books! A testament to your writing skills surely. I'm hard put to think of a series equal in length.Epic could be used to describe the wilderness series.

20. margaret spoke up on July 1, 2006 1:41 PM and said:

This is wonderful news. I have not been this interested in a series in a long time. I usually like to wait and have all the books at one time so I can just keep reading. The wait has made it more interesting. Your give-away has made the wait easier. Never been in close contact to what an author is doing before either. This say a great deal about you. My hats off to you.

Such a great series. Thank You. Your books piqued my family history. As they came from Montgomery Co. NY I could "see" from your writing,the area they had come from. I'm so happy for another book-congrats and take care!!

22. Lili spoke up on July 4, 2006 7:10 AM and said:

Overjoyed to hear this...I just got my long-awaited copy of Fire Along the Sky this morning (please forgive me for being the last person in the world to buy this book- I'm a huge fan, but also a very poor European fan, and I wanted to buy a new copy to make sure you would get some income from my purchase!).

Anyway, I'm not even two chapters in, and I'm entranced, of course. Once I get a chance to buy Tied to the Tracks I can start saving my pennies for what will undoubtedly be another awesome read.

23. Rosina Lippi spoke up on July 6, 2006 11:04 AM and said:

Lili -- I'm honored, really. Thank you for your support.

I'm going to give away another copy of TTTT, maybe that will be your lucky draw.

Shreeking and running around in a state of excitement here!!! Can't wait!!!
