However, I am being good and flogging its dead carcass two months in advance, like everyone else does<\/p>\n<p>So, you may have noticed that is is nearly April.  That means that very, very soon, <B>Blood Ties Book Four: All Souls&#8217; Night<\/B> will be hopping from the shelves into your hot little hands.  And those better be bookstore shelves and not library shelves, &#8217;cause I got bills to pay, yo.<\/p>\n<p>I get a lot of questions about what is going to happen in future books.  And obviously, I can&#8217;t answer them.  The landslide of &#8220;IS ZIGGY REALLY DEAD OMG !!!!!!11!!!ELEVENTY-ONE!!!!!&#8221; mail that I got after the first book was so, so hard to deal with, because I felt bad for not being able to tell people.  I&#8217;m not good at keeping secrets, unless there is some kind of real world consequence, so this series and all its little twists and turns have made me a bit batty.<\/p>\n<p>There is, however, one question I can answer without giving too much away, and that question is&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><B>What can readers expect from Book Four?<\/B><br \/>At this point, if you are one of those people who doesn&#8217;t want to know ANYTHING about a book, stop reading.  I&#8217;m not going to give away &#8220;spoilers&#8221; by saying stuff like &#8220;Nathan learns he&#8217;s double jointed and runs away to join a freak show,&#8221; but I am going to mention things that will happen in the book.<\/p>\n<p><UL><br \/><LI>First, and this is a big one, <B>three major characters die in Book Four<\/B>.<br \/><LI>Second, and nearly just as important, <B>this is the grossest book I&#8217;ve ever written.<\/B>  Bring barf bags.<br \/><LI><B>GRATUITOUS VIOLENCE<\/B><br \/><LI>For the first time ever in one of my books, <B>hot, male\/male love scene<\/B>.<br \/><LI><B>Zombies<\/B>.<br \/><\/UL><\/p>\n<p>Now, to wrap up today&#8217;s post o&#8217; doom, my dear friend <a href=\"http:\/\/brynnpaulin.blogspot.com\">Brynn Paulin<\/A> thought that Sweeney Todd has not been represented adequately in my blog as of late.  So, Brynn, this is for you:<\/p>\n<p>[youtube http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=SUZLRa_iSXk&amp;hl=en]<\/p>\n<p>Japanese Sweeney rehearsal.  Hells yeah.  I wish there were videos of the actual performance.<\/p>\n<p>In any case, the DVD of the Depp version comes out tomorrow.  So, I know what I&#8217;m doing with the rest of my week.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>EDIT: The book DOES come out June 1st.
