Unless your initials are JK or your first name Lemony, the YA market pays considerably less than what I get for adult novels. But I feel if I pass on the offer I will regret it later. I want to do these books. I need to do them. The stories are sitting in my head. I simply have to put them on paper. (“Simply” – hah!)[/SIZE]
That's good news! Oh, I can't wait those series!

I think the Lemony Snickets books are hilarious. Very dry dark humor, my favorite kind. I read the first two or three to my kids, but now Nan is reading them on her own so I stopped. Someday I'll get the rest from the library and blow through them.

[SIZE="3"]I have a spring 2007 delivery for the 1st. Usually the book appears a year later, but it's all up to the various departments at the publisher as to when they feel the timing is optimal. (Definitely not opposite the last HP.)[/SIZE]

So how will these "young" RJ novels affect the "post-Harbingers, pre-Nightworld" RJ world? Will you write any more "adult" ones, or is Harbingers really the last pre-Nightworld RJ?

[SIZE="3"]I'm looking at maybe 4 more adult novels before Nightworld. The YAs won't have a direct effect on the main storyline, but some characters will overlap.[/SIZE]
