In other Danger Dan news, Danger Dan Traces the Perilous Poison is almost ready to go to print. We were at Epigram Books last week to do the last round of proof-reading. See the McDonald's bag? Since Lesley-Anne always has to rush over after school, inevitably it's McD's for lunch. Not her favourite but Danger Dan would approve!

Book 4 was the one we enjoyed writing the most. We love the storyline and had lots of fun with the action sequences and dialogue. But for some strange reason, it was an editing nightmare. Even at this late stage, we found many basic errors that had somehow eluded us and our editor in the previous rounds of edits. This makes us terribly nervous! Hopefully we've caught all the errors.

Meanwhile, here's a sneak peek at the cover. We adore the vibrant shade of lime!

Danger Dan Traces the Perilous Poison is scheduled to hit the printers this week and expected to be available early October. Stay tuned for updates!
