This just in: more to come from Mira Grant.

So a press release just went up on the Orbit Books website. Here's the link, if you're curious. Go ahead and read it. I'll wait here.

Done reading yet?

YES OH MY GOD YES NOW I CAN FINALLY ANNOUNCE IT YES!!!!! Mira Grant (IE, "me") is returning to Orbit for three more beautiful books. The third Parasitology book (title to be determined), a standalone book (one of three concepts, to be decided when I actually hit the point of needing to write it), and Rewind, a fourth book set in the world of Newsflesh.

Yes. We're going back to the Rising.

There will also be four new novellas set in the Newsflesh world; the first of them, "The Day the Dead Came to Show and Tell," will be out this summer.

Before people start asking, no, Rewind will not be a story about the Masons: they are done. But it will cover the same time period as Feed, and will provide a long-needed view of the Democratic side of the presidential race. What really happened to Susan Kilburn and Frances Blackburn, the two most promising candidates put up by the Democrats? What happened to their teams? All is finally going to be made clear, and man, is it going to be one hell of a ride.

To quote myself from the press release, "I am overjoyed to be able to continue to write in the Parasite universe, and more, I am so, so excited to return to the world of Kellis-Amberlee, the Rising, and my unique approach to future journalism. I hope that everyone else will be as excited as I am to go back there, and I promise I have some thrilling surprises in store for you. As for that stand-alone third novel, well...You'll have to wait and see what that's going to be about. I can tell you one thing for sure: it's going to be an adventure."

I love adventures.

This! I mean, exactly this. I read that there would be more Newsflesh-universe and my response was 'Squeeeeeee!'

I'm glad the Masons are happy and in a [hopefully] safe place to live happily ever after, but DAMN(!!!), I love that world and the people in it.

Plus I liked 'Parasite' - plan to buy 'Symbiont' - and am VERY happy that the Parasitology series will have a 3rd book.

So I am very, very happy right now.

Day=made. I am so excited, I can't even tell you. I don't think I can textually render the incoherent shriek of joy that was possibly audible only to my cats.

Congrats on all of the sales! (I'm keenly excited about all of them, despite the Newsflesh news being what has me this thrilled.) This is so, so great. *^^*

I feel my twin said it better than I ever could have:

Upon telling her of the existence of an upcoming Newsflesh book:

Twin: LINK THAT SHIT TO ME
Me: (links livejournal entry)

Awesome!

And I'm really glad you're not revisiting the Masons. I liked how you wrapped up their story, and there's so many other great ones to tell.

This has absolutely made my day - I cannot wait for more Newsflesh and I'm so pleased that Parasitology is confirmed as being able to be completed. Plus, great news for you as well, which is always nice. Congratulations and I can't wait to read them!

Fantastic news! Did you have the story of what happened to the Democratic candidates in mind while you were writing Feed?

Will the Newsflesh novellas be based around the After the End Times team? Or is that still under wraps?

As for the mystery standalone book, I'm sure it'll be as creepily horrifying as the rest of your evil twin's output. I can't wait! :)

seanan_mcguire

May 29 2014, 16:40:55 UTC 3 years ago

I did. I've actually wanted to write this forever.

I am not saying anything about the novellas yet.

*does the happy moonwalking velociraptor dance* This is fantastic! Congratulations, and I look forward to reading all the new stories. Newsflesh is one of the series I am consistently reccing to people ("You remember The Hot Zone? That! But with zombies! And better than Preston!") and I have thoroughly infected most of the people I know (I'm like a literary Typhoid Mary that way)
