I heard somewhere you were going to write a Young Adult spin-off called The Flavian Trilogy. What has happened to it?
The Flavian Trilogy is on the back burner for the moment, but at the time of writing this (April 2010) I am hoping to write a spin-off series for younger readers. The main character will be the 8-year-old Ostian beggar boy Threptus.

Readers met him in The Man from Pomegranate Street and also in the final story of The Legionary from Londinium and other Mini Mysteries, which was called “Threptus and the Sacred Chickens”. The first book in the new – as yet untitled – series might be called “Threptus and the Latrine Demon”. At the moment (December 2010) this project is still in development.
