So it’s a happy day in CJJ Land – I’ve just finished the first draft of CHARLIE JOE JACKSON’S GUIDE TO MAKING MONEY, the fourth installment of this incredibly gripping saga.

That means I have a month or so to relax, before my editor Nan calls and tells me to change the whole thing.

I don’t want to tell you too much about the plot, but I can tell you it involves cows, rock bands, law firms and a dachshund named Schleppy.

Due in stores May-ish, 2014.

(These things take a while, don’t they?)
