[MargotCash]

The title for the next book has been posted at www.evanovich.com.

Is everybody ready for "Twelve Sharp"? The scheduled release date is June 20, 2006.

I can't wait!

Aaaaaargh! Evanovich.com has posted the first part of Twelve Sharp! Has anyone else read it yet? I sounds VERY promising....maybe some "Ten Big Ones" themes coming through...
Please tell me someone's read it, I'm dying to chat about it! The excerpt is brilliant.

***** SPOILER ALERT *****


SugarPlum,

I checked out the exerpt. So, I guess Steph didn't stick with the job at Rangeman. Too bad. I thought if she could negotiate for half desk time/half field time, that it would be a good balance for her. Also, if she was partnered up with on of Ranger's guys, her bounty hunting skills would improve. Of course, it was probably difficult to focus on work with the hunk of Cuban hotness in the office. ;-)

So far, I love the beginning of "Twelve Sharp." I can't wait to see what develops. Evanovich's writing style really hooks me in. I read each book in one sitting (4-5 hours). The downside to that is waiting 364 days for the next one.

I hope whatever Ranger is going to Miami for only keeps him out of town for a few chapters. I prefer it when he's around.

The next part of the exerpt will be post at Evanovich.com on April 1. Can't wait!

Yeah, I was hoping she'd work part-time at Vinnie's and at Rangeman. Ah, well.
Speculation Time!
So here's what I think: the 'bad business' in Miami has to do with his daughter. I mean, it fits, doesn't it? Maybe we'll get to see another side to Ranger this time - who knows? I'll certainly enjoy whatever happens. I doubt his daughter will be brought in to Trenton or anything, though. That would be too much out of canon, plus it would complicate things in a way that seems a bit too fanfic, and not enough Evanovich.

Ah, me. It's the 16th today...only another 2 weeks until the next installment! squeeee!

It would be cool if whatever was happening in Miami required Stephanie’s help. She’s only left New Jersey a couple of times during the series. I like to see how Steph behaves in other environments. And it would be interesting to see what happened between her and Ranger if they weren’t in Trenton.

It’s 96 days until the June 20 release date. That’s too long!

I reckon!
Didn't you love when Steph went to Vegas? I wanna go there! I also enjoy her interaction with the Merry Men - always entertaining.
My sister is a massive Bon Jovi fan, so she wants to be a Jersey girl for those reasons...
we plan to go to New Jersey together, so I can get me a Ranger and she can nab Jon Bon Jovi.
But Jon got married in Vegas, and Steph went to Vegas.....see?? parallels are everywhere!

[MargotCash]

I just saw Bon Jovi in concert a month ago. You and your sister should have joined us!

My best friend LOVES Jon, so of course we had to go to the concert. We dragged our husbands along, too, but they didn't have as much fun as we did. ;-)

I think Stephanie needs to bump into Jon Bon Jovi in "Twelve Sharp." Ranger should hire JBJ to perform at Steph's birthday party. Or my birthday party. (Hmmm...Margot gets distracted by thoughts of being in a room with JBJ and Ranger. *sigh*)

[sugarplum]

LOL remember the poll from evanovich.com? Where Jon was one of the possibilities to play Morelli in the film?
That was hilarious. I told my sister and all of her BJ fan-friends found out, and all got involved in Stephanie Plum. It was beautiful. I felt like a disciple of a religious movement.

But I'm so jealous! a Bon Jovi concert......aw. He's not even coming to Australia (where I am). Damn. But if I don't get to experience him, Steph certainly deserves to - with Ranger.

Hmmm...Ranger singing......it'd be something like Antonio, I imagine.
