all fixed (touchwood)

[adelaidesean]

I mentioned a couple of weeks back that I have a new kids' series due from Omnibus/Scholastic next year. The dates are now confirmed: each of the four books will come out a month apart, starting in May and finishing in August. More importantly, the books now have titles.

The series is called THE FIXERS and the individual books will be:

1. Castle of the Zombies
2. Planet of the Cyborgs
3. Last of the Vampires
4. Invasion of the Weird

What do you think? Does that sound like something kids would want to read?

ETA Thanks, everyone, for your feedback. I am very pleased!

Gah! Madness. I'd watch it for sure.

One day I'll get my foot in the door, and then Australia will be awash with all my genre pitches: the magicians series, the hostage negotiator hunted down by demons series, the UFO series...

Australia's answer to Bryan Fuller?

Hell yeah, I'd take that job. Ideally I'd be Australia's Peter Jackson, and work my way up to a massive expensive film production of the Earthsea novels, but I'll take what I can get.

If I was a squillionaire, I'd pay you to film Earthsea properly. Long overdue.

Although I didn't mind the uneven Stuido Ghibli version. Gets the gong, at least, for best adaptation of five books into one movie (imho, and I know it's one not shared by everyone).

I've got to catch up with the Ghibli Earthsea.

The TV miniseries was embarrassing.

I refuse to watch the miniseries.

You should definitely watch the Ghibli version and tell me what you think!

I'm so glad to hear someone else say this. I was so annoyed when I saw what was done to one of my favourite books. I though Le Guin should have been able to sue them for Something.
