Mike Gayle, author of My Legendary Girlfriend, Mr. Commitment, Turning Thirty, Dinner for Two, His ‘n’ Hers, Brand New Friend, Wish You Were Here, The Life & Soul of The Party and The To Do List has sent out a newsletter which has news in of his new book as well as a potential sequel to one of our favourite novels. First, about his 10th novel:

I‘ve finally finished book 10! It was initially going to be called The Bachelors but that’s now changed to The Importance of Being a Bachelor (which may or may not end up being the actual title). It’s about three brothers and their various relationship problems and the word from my editor who has only just this second read it is that it’s “completely and utterly unputdownable.” All being well it should be available to buy (April 2010).

And now, news about a potential sequel:

And finally…now that book 10 is done I’ve got to start thinking about book 11 and for the very first time in my writing career I’m giving some serious thought to writing a sequel! Which book is it going to be? Well before you start guessing let me just say why I’m thinking of doing this:
i) Because pretty soon it will have been ten years since this particular book was published.
ii) Of all my books this one was always felt as though there was a lot of unfinished business between the main characters.
iii) I’ve got a feeling that it will be a lot of fun to write.

So to put you out of your misery the book I’m thinking about writing a sequel to is (cue drum roll): Turning Thirty.

I’d love a sequel to Turning Thirty. To find out more about Mike and to subscribe to his newsletter visit his website.
