Update on Book 3, We Give a Squid a Wedgie

Wedgie Cover

Due to some factors beyond my control, the 3rd book in the Accidental Adventure series, We Give a Squid a Wedgie, has a new publication date in April 2013 (and a new look...more to come on that). You can, of course, pre-order it so you get it right when it comes out.
I apologize for the delay and I assure you, it will be worth the wait!
Here's a random part of the book to whet your appetite: 
 

"Ow!" said Oliver. "That's a wedgie! No fair! Ow!" He reached around to the back of her pants and yanked, giving his sister a wedgie in return.
 
"Ow!" said Celia. "You can't give a girl a wedgie!"
 
"You're not a girl," said Oliver. "You're my sister!"
 

Thanks for your patience. See you with Oliver and Celia Navel again in 2013!

Let the Adventures Continue!

I am so glad that there is going to be a Book 3! I've already read Book 1, and I'm working on Book 2 now! Do you want to know what would make ly happy? I would love to see movie adaptations of these books. After all, many great book series have made movie adaptations.

re: Let the Adventures Continue!

Thanks so much! I'm glad you like the books. There will also be a 4th book too! And I agree with you: I'd be happy if they were turned into movies too!

Big Fan

I am eight years old, and I love your Accidental Adventure so much, but can you write them quicker? Because I have been waiting forever for the third book. Can you write a fourth book and a fifth book? I loved the first and second. I'm reading the first again! My favorite is We dine with Cannibals. My sister and I both read your books at least five times. You should make it a TV show, it would be so awesome! So I could watch it when I don't have the books.

re: Big Fan

Thanks so much! The third (and fourth) books are already written, but because of things totally out of my control, the publisher has moved the release date until April for book 3. I'm sorry for the long wait, but I promise, it will be worth it! In the 3rd book, there's a pirate chicken...I mean, that's worth waiting for right?

covers

Does this mean the books will no longer be released as hardback with jonny duddle as the artist?

Re: covers

It does mean that books 3 & 4 will not be released as hardbacks. The first two books will still be available in hardback while supplies last (and also in paperback with the new look). Jonny Duddle's illustrations, I believe, are still on the interior of all 4 books in their new paperback editions, but the covers are by a different artist.

Re: accidental adventures

Thanks Adnan! I would love it if my books were turned into a TV show too! I'm so glad you like the stories so much. I had a lot of fun writing them for people just like you!
