Will there be a sequel to Cryptid Hunters and Tentacles? 885


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.”

    My mom and I just finished “Tentacles” and I can’t wait to see what happens to Grace. We really enjoy the special bond between Grace and Marty, and love watching the way they take care of each other.
    Since there are no dates on the posts, it is hard to know when the last update was. Is there anything new you can tell us? A little teaser, please???

    Tentacles came out this school year. The third book will not be out for quiet awhile. I’m glad you and your mom enjoyed it and I hope you get a chance to read some of my other novels while you’re waiting.

  • John

    I must admit that cryptid hunters was better then tentacles, but I can not wait until the third one is out.

  • roland Post author

    I really don’t know. I’m working on the book right now. When it’s published is up to the publisher.

  • Bayli Gromer

    i read elephant run. it was amazing. i thought it was one of the best books ive read in a long time. keep writing for everyones sake.

  • Brenton

    I can’t wait for the next one! I just finished Cryptid Hunters and I am getting Tentacles soon. I know t will be great because Luther is joining the gang and he and Marty are partners in crime, so I am infering that there will be a little, I mean a lot of mayhem aboard the Coelacanth. But I’m getting off topic. I reallllllly can’t wait for the next one evn though I have barely started Tentacles. I can not stress that enough!

    have you started writing it yet?

  • roland Post author

    I’m glad you enjoyed the books. It will be a long time before the 3rd book comes out. I have to finish it, then we all have to wait for the publisher to publish it.

  • Nate Neal

    I just finished tentacles and really
    liked it.
    at the end it seemed like there had to be a third book and Ialso read I.Q and
    that was very, very good . I really like
    your style of writing . It is awsome that you are making a third book.

  • Stephen

    I read Cryptid Hunters when it came out and I just finished Tentacles two days ago. I couldn’t bring myself to put either of the two down and I now I will be rereading Cryptid Hunters to fill in some gaps that I forgot while reading Tentacles. Only issue I had was that I was hoping Tentacles would focus on a new cryptid. There were small references to a kraken and with no kraken, the giant squid getting the short end of the stick, and the dinosaurs still the top priority I was a tiny bit dissapointed. Then again, the need to focus on the dinosaurs as being the find of the century is certainly necessary, but I just hope that a new cryptid appears in book three and that the whole series doesn’t become a back and forth for the dinosaurs with Noah and Wolfe.
    But overall I really loved the books! You have no idea how anxiously I’m waiting for the third book!

  • roland Post author

    There are a lot of issues to resolve before Wolfe can go off and look for new cryptids. Some of these problems will be resolved in the third book.

  • Robbie

    love your books just got done reading for the third time each and can”t wait for next book.

  • Robbie

    Really love all of your book and I
    Obviously can’t wait for the next book.
    Lately I’ve been reading other books
    Anxiously waiting for your
    Next book to come out.
    Do you have any idea when it will be out.

    Routinely i check this website to
    Update myself on your books.
    Lastly i just want to
    Extend my congradulation on your
    Successful career as a writer.

    P.S I have put a hidden messaage in this letter. Can anyone find it?

  • hannah

    i say people should stop demanding to know when the book will be published, but i doubt anyone would say that except for me!!

  • hannah

  • nellam

    i have both of your books and they are great they beat rick riordans books any day!!!the olympians did not have as much suspense.

  • roland Post author

    No title. I have to write the book first. So it will be quite awhile before the third makes an appearance.
