The 84,442nd word of my new novel is "out". Which is appropriate because it's the last word! (I don't count THE END). Now for a KitKat!.

My publishers have tracked me down to Crete. "Can you share the title of the fifth Hawthorne novel?" OK - it's CLOSE TO DEATH. "Can you mention it's out in March next year and available to pre-order?" Sure. it's here. .

Hawthorne will be pleased to know that his name is the 40,000th word of my new book. It means I'm almost half-way through.

70,007: "scar". My Bond novel is now longer than Moonraker and Diamonds are for Ever. But it won't be as long as From Russia With Love.

Rather pleased to have reached the 30,000th word of Hawthorne 4. And it's 'Heartbeat' - the name of a TV show in the 80s.

I've reached the 50,000th word of the new Bond novel. Disappointingly, it's "and". That is, however, one of the words of the title.

So here's the OFFICIAL COVER of the new Alex Rider novel - out June. My kindly publishers have allowed me to share it. What do you think?
74

363
So I've hit the 70,000th word of my new book. It's "packet" - a reminder that, I'm afraid, Hawthorne smokes. On the home run now to the end.

Not sure what makes me happier. Being in the NY Times bestseller list or seeing the delightful new title they've given to 'Atticus Pünd Takes the Case.'

#MoonflowerMurders is out 20th August and you can preorder a signed copy with extra content from @Waterstones here: (My publishers *asked* me to post this.).

Over 750,000 UK children do not have a library at their primary school. Supporting the #LibrariesForPrimaries campaign to get a library into every primary school is a non-brainer. It's like saying it would be good if all hospitals had medicine!

FOREVER AND A DAY. I know the news has broken but it feels so great to be able to tweet the words which I've been secretly living with.

Interesting coincidence. the 50,007th word of my new Bond novel is M again - but this time as in 9mm (the calibre of the weapon). Only four and a half chapters left to write!.

So finally it's out. Alex is an Amazon Original. Can't wait for you to meet Otto, Brennock and the gang! #AlexRider.

Just reached the 80,000th word of my new Alex Rider novel. It's SVETLANA. Rather worryingly, she turns out to be the receptionist at MI6.

First draft of new Bond definitely finished. Second draft in better shape.

This is really quite something. Well, at least, I think so.
