In a follow-up to yesterday's post, Jane Davis, the manager of Michael Connelly's website, wrote in to confirm what Mike's publishing plans are for 2006.
Connelly will have two books published next year, but only one of them is a novel. So I guess that means I won't have to smite him.
Echo Park, a Harry Bosch story, will be released in September or October. The other book (Crime Beat) is coming in May, but it's not a novel. It's a collection of newspaper stories from Connelly's days as a crime reporter.
(In case that sounds familiar, the latter book came out in a limited edition earlier this year. His publisher liked it so much they decided to release it wide.)
