There’s life in this series yet

All you Stephanie Plum fanatics, and there must be a lot of them considering how this series still tops bestseller lists, here’s some good news for you:

NYT bestselling author Janet Evanovich’s next three Stephanie Plum titles, to Matthew Shear and Jennifer Enderlin at St. Martin’s, in a major deal, by Robert Gottlieb at Trident Media Group (NA)

Oh, great. Three (actually four, since I assume the next book, ELEVEN ON TOP, is not part of this new deal) more books where Steph can’t possibly figure out how to choose between Ranger and Morelli, where Granda Mazur acts like a caricature of an old lady and where an endless stream of cars blow up yet again. Then again, maybe Evanovich will surprise me. That would be kind of cool.

Also of interest is the fact that this particular book, first reported on way back in November 2000, has yet to see the light of day:

Janet Evanovich’s nonfiction collection about bounty hunters, "a field guide of sorts to the world of bond enforcement agents," to Jennifer Enderlin at St. Martin’s, for a ”substantial six figures," by Trident Media’s Robert Gottlieb.

I assume it’s still in the works, but anyone who can enlighten me on this is, of course, most welcome.
