Those of you who caught the AUTUMN books first time around will probably remember my ‘Spread the Infection’ tagline. I used it for years, and I’m sure it was responsible to some degree for the book’s journey from free pdf to half a million downloads, a movie, an audio adaptation, and now mainstream publication.

They’ve been unavailable for far too long, but the re-release of the AUTUMN series is close at hand. The first book is out in late October (US and UK – click the covers for information, Spain and Germany – you already have it!), and books two, three and four will be following in quick succession throughout 2011.
I’ll be able to give you more details about the release very soon. In the meantime, I wanted to ask a couple of favours…

First off, I want your memories of AUTUMN first time around for some articles I’m putting together. I’ve had emails from people who were freaked out reading the free download while working alone on the night shift, others who printed the pdf off and read it in class… please let me know how you found out about the series. Also, if you were involved in the book in any way and we haven’t spoken for a while (I’ve particularly been trying to get hold of Dave Joseph who created the face on the original cover if anyone can help), then please get in touch.
Secondly, I’d really appreciate it if you’d help me ‘Spread the Infection’ again. Follow me on Facebook, Friend Feed or Twitter, sign up for the newsletter (see sidebar), and invite your friends to do the same…
There’s going to be a lot going on with the accelerated re-release of the novels – including plenty of free fiction and much more – and there will be many opportunities to get involved so I’d like as many people as possible to know!
Thanks! More very soon!

Brilliant news Dave. I’m glad it’s nearly here, and I’ll definitely get my hands on the new editions(hopefully signed;>) I will confess though, I do prefer the American cover to the UK version; but that’s just my opinion.
And thanks for the t-shirt, I was gutted that I didn’t think to bring my one with me on the day. All the best.
Im really pleased these books are coming out again and so soon! I’m gonna have to buy them all over again.
I discovered the originals back in 2005 through an amazon recommendation and once I got my hands on them couldn’t put them down. I’m a community nurse and always had them on me so I could read in between visits! The Autumn world is my absolute favourite post-apocolpytic world – I could never tire of it. What also makes it more special for me is Dave himself, I have always felt he truly appreciates his fans and that our opinions genuinely matter to him. I still have the fridge magnets and postcards he sent with the books (little things make me happy)!
Small question Dave is book 4 Disintegration? At last??
This is great news! I’ve read the first three books of this series so many times!! Unfortunately, I never was able to find the last book in the series. My only wish is that it comes available for the Kindle in the US!!
Dawn – I wasn’t fishing for compliments, but thank you! The plan (which I’ll confirm as soon as I’m able) is for the books to be released in the following order… Autumn, The City, Purification, Disintegration, Book #5.
Now, in answer to your next two questions: a). where’s The Human Condition – watch this space, and b). what’s Book #5 – another brand new, full novel (which I’m thinking will be a direct sequel to both Purification and Disintegration).
fhmrn – yes, I’m pretty sure (99.9%) that the books will be available for Kindle in the US at the same time they’re released in paperback.
How exciting!
I found Autumn through a recomendation on an online forum. I downloaded and read in one sitting, I ordered the books immediately after. Since then I’ve recommended to lots of people.
I still cant wait for Disintegration….and now a tease about book 5…….I may burst before then!
Hmmmm…SIGNED new editions? How do I sign up Dave? I’ve already pre-ordered the first paperback on Amazon, but would be willing to pay a bit more for signed copies!
By the way, in case you haven’t guessed, this is Elizabeth S. from Amazon. I’ve put up a couple more plugs for your books on the discussion boards. Sending you another idea via Facebook (seriously, I have a sick imagination).
Hello Elizabeth! Great to see you here. You and your sick imagination are always welcome.
I’m not sure of the details yet, but I will get a stock of copies of Autumn (both the UK hardback and US paperback hopefully), which I’ll make available through http://www.infectedbooks.co.uk.
Awesome news David!
I literally stumbled across you by accident, I was searching for a movie who’s title I thought was Autumn (never ended up finding this movie by the way), read the first two chapters online at work, was hooked so I downloaded the first book and read the entire novel that night. I then proceeded to order the entire series the next day.
Looking forward to the next instalment/s in the Autumn series.
Keep up the good work Dave!!
Thanks ukmum and Jason!
What wonderful news. I never got a chance to read the Autumn series. I can’t wait!
