I’ve gotten a lot of email since Tentacles came out asking if there will be a third book. You’re fast readers!
The answer is yes, and there will probably be more books after the third with Grace and Marty and the Cryptos Island gang.
Next question: “When will it be out?”
Answer: “I flattered, but the ink is barely dry on Tentacles. All I can say is that it will be out a lot sooner than Tentacles appeared after the first book, Cryptid Hunters.”
Next question: “Do you know the title?”
Answer: “No. I generally don’t come up with the title until after I finish a book.”
Next question: “Do you know what happens?”
Answer: “Yes.”
Last question: “Will you tell me what happens?”
Answer: “I’m afraid you’ll have to wait for the third book. Sorry.”
Oh wait, that wouldn’t be funny, because then the dinosaurs would sink the ship!!
I made a mistake about that being funny. But it’s ok, because everybody makes mistakes. 🙂
Wonder what the name is. Can’t wait to find out! 🙂
you’re my role model. I love your books. Especcially Cryptid hunters and Tentacles. I read them both so much the spines are gone. I LOVE EM! CAnt wait for teh 3rd book!
Just went to borders and found out there was a sequel 😀 Gonna be a third too! so happy and love your work!
Are you asked the same question 300 times a day (when will the 3rd book come out) well when will it come out , im sorry that is 301 times lol
Can’t wait for the third book to come out, I absolutely love this series.
Hey Roland:)
I have read and O own Both of your books so far and i cant wait for the third one! I heard a rumor it would be out in august. Is that true? My birthday is in august and that would be the best present ever!!! I usualy dont read small books like yours but i just love your writing style so much i had to keep reading!!! Please finish soon:)
i think a movie for these books would be GREAT!!!! but they would probally mess up the books up bc they are so great to begin with:)
Is their going to be a 3rd IQ book? If yes when? I just finished the 2nd book and need to know what happens. I love the iq series!
Hopefully it will be out late this year.
A movie would be good.
Working on it.
just sayn i think u should add some southern country but do what u thinks best by nomeans am i a writer
I think that if over 999,999,999 people think that the series should be a made into movies, they should make the series into movies.
I meant 999,999 people
I wish you could get those 999,999 write letters to Hollywood and let them know.
I cannot wait for Chupacabra, or whatever it is called! Tentacles was super-great, and I think that the next book will be even better. I just finished Tentacles, and am about to re-read Cryptid Hunters.
I hope the best for you Mr. Smith! I still have the notes I took from when you Skype-visited my school earlier this year! You are my favorite author, and I have read a lot of books, so that really means something!
(Please ignore the exclamation-mark abuse above.)
Thanks,
Nick
I love Roland Smiths books! I was so relieved when I heard there was another book coming out due to the cliffhanger ending. I have always been a bookworm but my little sister has never really liked reading until I introduced her to Roland Smith books. She now loves reading!(Thank you Roland!)I’ve read Elephant Run several times over. I’ve read Cryptid Hunters and Tentacles twice each. I recently finished the IQ series in a span of twenty-four hours. I love these books and I can’t seem to put them down because of the adventure, cleverness, and comedy. Thank you Roland Smith!
Thanks Steph! Say hello to your sister for me.
Yep, I think it will be called Chupacabra. It will be out in September 2012.
You know what stinks? When you read 4 books in a row with no sequel that leaves you at a HUGE cliff hanger. Justkeep writing though cause thisisreally good butI CAN’T WAIT!
Ok, I’ll get the word out
i think your books are really cool and you should make a movie i know a to of people have probally asked you this but when is the third book coming out
i meant ton
I just finished reading tentacle, by the way it was fantastic, and can not wait for the third and the rest that follow it!
I’ve read Cryptid Hunters and Tentacles too many times to count! I finally convinced my mom and brother to read the series. My mom read both books in a few days and my brother is in the middle of Cryptid Hunters right now. I wish book 3 would come out October or November this year since there are four other books I’ve been waiting for coming out in that time frame. I don’t want to wait ANOTHER year!
I wish it was out too! Unfortunately I had to finish some other books first. CHUPACABRA will be out September 2012.
When is it coming!!!
I read Tentacles in 1 day! I don’t have a life.
Is chupacabra the name of the next cryptid hunters book?
I started reading your books in third grade. I’m going into seventh now an have read every single one of them. The first of your books I read was crypted hunters which spurred my obsession with cryptids. In 5th grade I wrote a speech on sasquach and i won our school competition. I’ve always wondered, how you became interested in cryptids? I can’t wait for all your upcoming books ecspessially chubacabra. Also are you going to do a book tour for it? If so are you coming to FL. It would be amazing to see you 🙂
Mr. Smith,
I have read almost every book in the libray, well kid and teen, and u r one of my favorite autors. I relly enjoy the mix of ficton and science. Not enough books do that. U must do a fair amount of resarch. And i love how round your characters are. Wish u could come to my school 0.o i like all ur books. Wish i could meet u. could u reply to my email?
Yep I do a fair amount of research. In fact, sometimes it takes me twice as long to do the research than it does to write the book.
I grew up in Oregon, which is Big Foot country. So I guess you could say that I’ve been interested in cryptids my whole life. Although, I’ve never actually seen a cryptid.
Tentatively.
September 2012.
i love ur books, i enjoy ur charaters and how the sibling get along. u dont see that very often. im excited to read ur next books. i hope they make these books into movies, and do a good job o it. i own both in this series i have to say there one of my favorite books.
Sure your not done with the third book yet? Just can’t wait!!! Have read and reread each one. Give us a preview will you. Or tell us how far along the book is. It would be best just to work on the Cryptid Hunters Series they are the GREATES!!!
mr smith you are the best
I just finished Tentacles a few minutes ago and I am now dying to see what happens next.
Are we going to find out what happened to Marty’s parents in one of the upcoming books?
I finished Tentacles in a day LAST year… Now, I totally on the edge of my chair (literally) waiting for the next book!
I loved both books. I finished reading through them again in two days i can’t wait for the new book so full of excitement >.< what will grace do when she arrives at the ark? No one will know until this new book in your amazing series is out.
I loved tentacles! I’m dying to know what happens next!
That is seriously my middle name. I found it an amazing thing to share a name with Wolfe from both books. Anyways, I CAN’T wait for the next book in the series to come out! Hopefully it does soon, cause I can’t stand to wait any longer!
I love the books i read both in two days Im dying for the third.
