Black Heart sounds absolutely amazing!!! I can't wait for it to come out! I'm part of this book award thing at school, and we should be able to nominate the authors this time instead of adults nominating authors for us; if so I'm gonna be adamant that Justin Somper gets in and then hopefully he can win an award!!! Fingers-crossed he'll be nominated!

- I hope he does and comes to your school to receive it. Keep us posted.

From Sailor Quarxphonix who has received a letter for the Captain. For the full letter please go to the Nocturn and join their forum.

"Book Four is called BLACK HEART. Current plan is to publish in January 2009. A bit of a wait, I know, but the good news is that there will be an extra book in 2009. This will be a collection of the Crossing Stories, compiled by Grace through her many meetings and talks with the Vampirates.
....
By the way, vampirates.co.uk is being relaunched next month so do keep your eyes peeled. There's going to be lots more going on on the site, from in-depth character profiles to a regular blog.

Trust the tide!
Justin Somper"
