In the first part of an interview that Craig McDonald did with Ken Bruen to talk about the upcoming release of Tower (out later this year by Busted Flush) we find some interesting comments about future Bruen releases.
The first is some information about the next Jack Taylor novel.
CM: What’s next for you? There are rumors of a rather different kind of Jack Taylor novel, and of a memoir dated for release this year…
KB: The new Jack Taylor is finished and titled… The Devil. And it deals with, yup, the supernatural. Scared the hell outta me. Not going down that road again.
And the second is perhaps the more interesting of the two, a children’s book.
CM: I saw something the other day that indicated you might be writing a children’s book. Can you share a little more about that?
KB: It’s titled Peter and His Magic Pencil. It’s about a little boy who can make his mum, friends, etc., happy by writing it down in his notebook. Alas, he also discovers that he may have to erase some of the joy as in the old saying, “Be careful what you wish for.” It was a joy to write and Eoin Colfer has nothing to worry about. It was a one off, for [my daughter] Grace.
When we know more so will you.
