Long-awaited Novels

January 29, 2008

Booksellers love authors like Dan Brown and Christopher Paolini who capture the public imagination with novels that everyone decides that they must read. However, when such bestelling authors take a break between books then we soon get sick of answering the questions about when their next book will be out: “Is there a release date yet for the 3rd book in the Inheritance series?” “Is Dan Brown’s new novel out yet?”

Earlier I relayed the good news about Brisingr by Christopher Paolini, which finally has a pub date of 9/20/08. The Wall Street Journal seems to think there’s hope for the new Dan Brown novel as well.
