Q: Hello Prof. Harkness! Are you planning to write another trilogy?
A: Well, the trilogy is the first three books of the All Souls Series. The story continues in book 4, TIME’S CONVERT (out now). Book 5 will be out next year (fingers crossed), then book 6, book 7.
I am still working on All Souls Series book #5. It’s coming along well but keeps changing (that’s a good thing!) with lots of twists and turns. Am about to run out of pages in my 2nd story journal and start a third. As soon as I can tell you more I will! --Deb

Q: Will Book 5 be a “Diana and Matthew” book, or will it center on a different character?
A: Not ready to say quite yet. All the books will have Diana and Matthew in them, but other stories need to be told too! --Deb

Practice makes perfect.

Wonder what plans these two are making?

Re: FAST CAKES: EASY BAKES IN MINUTES.
Made butterscotch tray bake. It is fab. But I made first time mistakes so no pictures. Biggest was making icing too far ahead and then not being patient to let cake cool completely. Still eating it though! #InMaryBerryWeTrust
Also I am really enjoying cooking from the new Diana Henry book, FROM THE OVEN TO THE TABLE. Have made two recipes already and they are marvellous. The perfect autumn cookbook. --Deb

ICYMI this (lightly edited) Twitter exchange:
Question: Professor Harkness, I know you're currently writing novels in the All Souls Universe but do you have plans to write a whole new series in the future? If you do, will you write under a pseudonym? Thanks!
Answer: I don’t do pseudonyms. Can’t imagine writing another series besides the #AllSoulsSeries but I would like to write some historical fiction. Without vampires. --Deb

Up Next: Fun with Acronyms!
We're just wrapping up the annual Real Time Read (RTR) of A DISCOVERY OF WITCHES (ADOW) and this year, we're gearing up to jump right into the Real Time Read for SHADOW OF NIGHT (SON). It all begins on November 1 with Chapter One, when Diana and Matthew arrive at the Old Lodge in 1590 in an undignified heap of witch and vampire. If you think you might enjoy a rather leisurely re-read of SON and chatting about it with other fans of the books, please join us over at the All Souls Discussion Group (ASDG) on Facebook.
Reminder: the ASDG is a private, moderated Facebook group so if you aren't already a member, you'll need to request to join. Thank you, as always, to the wonderful moderators on that page who work hard to keep things running smoothly, and thank you to all who've volunteered to lead discussions--and participated--in the ADOW and SON RTR. We see you, and we appreciate you.
