I recently revealed that we were going to release the last couple of Zom-B hardback books at a later schedule than originally planned. We have also decided to alter the release schedule for the paperbacks in the UK and Ireland. The paperback edition of Zom-B Clans, the 8th book in the series, was originally scheduled to go on sale in February 2015, but we have now pushed that back to March 2016, with the rest of the paperbacks to follow at differing intervals, the last one coming out in May 2017. I know that won’t be welcome news for those of you collecting the paperbacks, but to be honest, I always thought we started bringing out the paperbacks too early. Because of the super-fast release schedule for the hardbacks, I argued that we shouldn’t release the paperback versions until the series was finished in hardback. My publishers disagreed and started to release them concurrently with the hardbacks, but the feedback from book shops is that we’re just releasing too much product each year and they can’t cope with it. Hence the decision to revert to my initial plan. There are two ways for paperbacks collectors to look at this. One is that it’s disappointing that you have to wait ages between books 7 and 8. But the other way is that if my publishers had heeded me in the first place, you wouldn’t even have book 1 yet! So instead of mourning that you have to wait so long for the last 5 books in paperback, rejoice that you got the first 7 so swiftly!!! :-) The third volume of the Zom-B Chronicles bind-ups goes on sale on 9th April 2015, as previously planned, but I suspect there will now be a delay with the subsequent volumes moving forwards. My apologies for all the chopping and changing, folks, but thats the problem with trying something that nobody else is doing -- sometimes it works out, but other times it throws up complications that have to be dealt with. :-( In the USA they will be releasing the second volume of the Zom-B Chronicles in paperback at some point during the course of the series run, but a date has yet to be confirmed.
