I know there are a few of us who are impatiently waiting for this last book, and I learned a little information about it today.

The third and final book of the Frankenstein series is called "Dead and Alive," and is expected to be printed and released in winter 2007 (probably sometime in November, I'm guessing).

He's got another book coming out in May, called "The Good Guy." Here's a synopsis:

"Timothy Carrier, 30, a mason, has a dry sense of humour. Tim's friend, Rooney, owns a workingman's bar, Lamplighter Tavern, where the eccentric customers inspire Tim's deadpan wit. On a Monday evening, the bar is nearly deserted. A nervous man, about Tim's own age, sits down one stool from Tim, orders a beer. He glances at Tim, then asks, 'Are you him?' His sense of fun engaged, Tim says, 'Who else would I be?' Tim's game is to sustain an oblique conversation until the stranger realizes his mistake. But it doesn't work out that way, and Tim's wayward sense of humour leads him into a very dangerous world."

Also, he has another "very special" book that he's working on for fall of this year, and there will be another Odd Thomas book but he hasn't started it yet.

An interesting tidbit that I didn't realize, none of the Frankenstein books were published in hardcover versions and the third one will not be either, unless he decides to release hardcover "collector's editions" of all three at a later date.
