Dear All,
In the last video blog I said that the next book was out in January 2008- I should have been more specific- I meant my next book- not the next Artemis book- which I am still working on- the next book is the historic sci-fi I spoke about called Airman- no Artemis for a while. Sorry.
Talk soon.
Eoin.
Also I am trying to learn the guitar- any hints from you nimble fingered youngsters?

Hello All,
We are building quite a community here, which is nice to see. This site is giving me a real sense of the readers around the world- I feel all warm and fuzzy- but that could be the heated slippers. Did I read that someone did not know who Douglas Adams was? For shame. Go read immediately. The man was a genius and taken too soon.
I am off to New York for Book Expo America- so I should have some pictures from there and maybe a video or two when I get back.
Until then, I will be checking the notice board as regularly as I can and trying to reply to the more sensational comments.
Fowl wishes (is that a cheesy sign-off or ok?)
Is posters the correct name- or bloggers? Bloggers sounds familiar. Anyway, it seems that a lot of you are young writers looking for a little advice. It is a difficult thing to give- as I see myself as still a beginner. I think the main thing is to read as much as you can- which everyone seems to be doing anyway. It sounds like a kung fu cliché- but you have to try and find your own voice- don’t try to be like anyone else- sometimes that unavoidably happens- but you shouldn’t set out to write the next Discworld or the next LOTR. Find a little something original and build on it.
I am working on Artemis 6 at the moment- no title yet. I am trying to tie up a lot of loose ends in this one- why Artemis is the way he is. Holly’s past. Mulch’s behind. A few new characters but mostly old ones. So far we have visited Finland, Ireland and Morocco. So a nice mix there.
More news when I have some.
