OK, I can’t stay away a moment longer.
I have news.
First, thanks for all your comments on my last two posts here on the Message Board and on my Guestbook. So many of you have been dying to know about what happens in The Dead of Night — and believe me, I’m dying to tell you! So guess what?
I may be able to tell you in person! Yup, I’m coming to a city near you.
Not only is March 6 the drop date for The Dead of Night, but it’s also wheels-up on my coast-to-coast tour of the United States. From March 6 through early May, I’ll be hitting no fewer than fifteen states. The schedule is NOT final yet — so keep checking back for updates! Here’s what we have so far:
Meanwhile,
here’s an excerpt from The Dead of Night. And here is what’s in store for you in the rest of the book:
• WATCH as Atticus Rosenbloom is trapped in a location so far off the map that it seems like another planet.
• CHEER the hostages as they finally find what may be a foolproof escape.
• GUESS what will get Jonah, Erasmus, and Hamilton first: a volcano or Jonah’s rabid fans.
• FOLLOW Ian on a rogue mission into the heart of evil.
• STICK with Sinead and Evan in Cahill HQ as everything begins to fall apart.
• FEEL Dan and Amy’s shock as they must choose a Cahill ... to sacrifice.
• RACE with them to one of the most awesome locales on the earth, to find a secret that even Vesper One doesn’t know.
• HEAR the clank of an Interpol jail cell that may trap them for months.
Sounds exciting? Writing it was a blast, and I can hardly wait to tell you about it.
Follow me on this Message Board for updates from the road. I will be posting photos, videos, and answering some of your questions.
So, over and out for now. I hope to see you in the spring!

Peter Lerangis? I somehow got the book yesterday. And if you don't believe me, I can prove it. The quote was "What kind of family draws in an innocent kid and makes him the target of murderers?" The letter says, "Hello Cahills! Do you ever feel that you lack a certain sparkle. I do. In fact, right now I lack exactly 545.67 carats worth of sparkle. Get the Jubilee for me and I'll feel better. And don't make me say pretty please. I doubt you'll like the consequences. Vesper One". So, now that you have proof, can you please explain to me how I have this book before it comes out. I pre-ordered it awhile ago, and it came yesterday. Please explain!!!

They have to sacrifice a Cahill?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!
Who can it be?!?!?!?!?!?!?!!?!?!?!?!!?!?!?!?!?!!!!!!???
Jonah and Lilian will go nuts if it's Phoenix.
Amy and Dan would never dare to choose Fiske or Nellie.
Ian will go on a 5-week tantrum if it's Natalie.
The Holts would go murderous if it's Reagan.
Sinead and Ned would ignore everyone else for weeks if it's Alistair or especially if it's Ted.
Who can they choose?!?!?!?!???????????!?!??!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?

They're going to sacrifice someone?! Oh boy. That'll be hard... :(
I DO have a hunch that Vesper One is their father. I've been thinking over it since I finished reading the Medusa Plot.
And what do you mean by "STICK with Sinead and Evan in Cahill HQ as everything starts to fall apart." Are they starting to like each other? I DO admit Evan's cute. ^_^ ;)

I pre-ordered The Dead of Night from Amazon, but it hasn't even shipped yet. I hope it comes soon. It takes a LOT of restraint to have the book, but not read it until March 6! I think that's great, though. I don't like it when people read the book before it's supposed to be out and then post all of these spoilers without telling anybody that their post has spoilers. I wish all of the books could be out quicker, too, but it really is a long process, as Roland Smith explained. As kids, we don't really know what all goes into the making, printing, and distributing of a book. We just have to be patient. It's good that we have the Message Board to debate about theories and stuff, though!
