When will your next book be published?

Jeffrey's answer

At the time of writing, Adam and Eve, published this October 2026, is my next novel — and the one I am holding my breath on, because it is not, in many ways, the book most readers expect from me. After that, I am working on something I cannot yet talk about, though my publishers know what it is, and my family know what it is, and I will say more when the time is right.

The longer answer is that books arrive on a rhythm. The full routine is in What time of day should I write?

What that means in practice is roughly one novel a year, plus occasional short story collections, plus occasional non-fiction.

Here is the current publishing rhythm, as of writing:

Adam and Eve — October 2026. My next novel. A WW2 epic about the choices that shape lives, and history. Two children born on the same day in entirely different circumstances. The ending I will not describe.

Not a Penny More, Not a Penny Less — 50th Anniversary Edition — June 2026. The book that started everything, fifty years on. Paramount’s television adaptation is in development for the same window.

End Game — published October 2025. The eighth and final William Warwick novel, concluding the series that began with Nothing Ventured in 2019.

A Christmas Carol — my modern update of the Dickens classic, due 2027–2028.

Children’s books — Faraday, The Little Kingdom, and the Willie and Randolph books — written for and with my grandchildren. The most recent batch are available now; more are in the pipeline.

Short stories — I have written ninety-five over the years. The eighth collection will arrive when I have enough anecdotes worth bringing together. I cannot tell you exactly when. Short stories appear when they are ready.

Beyond that, there is another big idea I have started to write. I have not told anyone what it is, beyond my publishers and my family. I will say more in due course.

A few practical notes

• Subscribe to the newsletter. Monthly email; the most reliable way to be told first about new books, anniversary editions, audio extracts, and film/TV news.
• Follow Jeffrey on social. TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, X/Twitter — Rob posts new-book news across all four platforms, usually with a short JA video.
• The publishing rhythm. Roughly one novel a year, plus occasional short story collections and non-fiction. Manuscript-to-shelf is 12–18 months in most markets.
• Older books still in print. Every novel JA has written — including Kane and Abel (1979), Not a Penny More (1976), and the entire Clifton Chronicles — remains in print and available worldwide.
• For media rights / adaptations. All enquiries via The Jeffrey Archer Company. Paramount’s adaptation of NAPMNPL for the 50th anniversary is one of several projects in development.
