I am slowly gearing up to begin book 3. I finally have a draft of the plot, although still some mulling over before I settle. And I have some idea of the extra factor I’ll be putting in – something which usually only comes to me once I’ve started writing.
Aside from that, there are matters of MOOD and MEMORY, which I’ve found a way appropriately to trigger. It’s like slowly allowing myself to be possessed by the character of Josh. Not an easy thing – look at the guy’s situation! Would you like to be him? I think I might like to know him, be pals with him, but actually being Josh would be very tough. Ifnwhen y’all read book 2 you’ll have a better understanding of why I might feel nervous going into book 3…

wow, i wish i could read it, lol. The wait for the second book! I can’t! If theres a break-in at scholastic and an advanced copy of the second book is missing then you know who it is! Oh are they doing uncorrected proofs for the second?
Oh and i cracked the code! Finally. I swear that wasn’t in the uncorrected proof was it? I wasn’t looking when i read the proof, no point if there was no where to enter it, and bit of an unfair advantage too. he he, the blog titles didn’t have the glyphs in the uncorrected proof? I don’t remember seeing them.
Good luck on the third book!

Well done cracking the code! Now we will let you in on the secret – there is a second level to the code…
Aha! HOWEVER for a chance to win the iPod you should submit your answer to the http://www.thejoshuafiles.com website as it is. We’re still working out how to ‘officially’ tell people that there’s a second level and also, if and what the prize for solving 2nd level would be.
And the code wasn’t in the proof copies…I was still writing the text, in fact, when the proof came out.
I hope there won’t be any copies of book 2 circulating until the publication date. The content in book 2 is just too hot to let readers be spoiled…
I shall look for it on eBay 😉
Same, lol. You can’t honestly expect me to wait in total 1 year 3 months for the next book can you!? I can only hope.
Second level!? sigh, took me a month to work out one part…:O I’ve worked out what that is!

Ahhh! How irritating, i accidentally put in a blog de-coded title in the crack the code box on the website. I re-entered the correct one but still, annoying.
Is there any news on Jaguars Realm? It sounds amazing can’t wait to nab a copy, (if it’s being submitted to a publisher).
