Dan Brown talks to The Book Standard! Now, how about me?

Just Re-Read ‘The Da Vinci Code’: Dan Brown’s Follow-Up Novel Delayed a Year
It’s official: Dan Brown’s millions of fans around the world will have to wait for the mega-seller’s much-anticipated follow-up to The Da Vinci Code. The author’s publishers said today that Brown’s next novel will not arrive in stores until at least 2007, more than a year later than originally planned.

Brown himself, in an e-mail sent to The Book Standard, says: “My books are time-consuming to research and complicated to construct. I am taking the time necessary to ensure that this new book is every bit as entertaining as The Da Vinci Code.”

Ok, key question, Dan: why single out The Book Standard? Why not Publishers Weekly, or the New York Times? Is Random House buying VNU? Indeed, why not give the little guy a break and write me or Greg Taylor at The Daily Grail?

Seriously, kudos to The Book Standard for this excellent bit of reporting, one of the first bits of actual news on the Dan Brown front in quite a while.
