Will there be a paperback of KIlling Eve: Resurrection? The problem with hard-copy publishing is the time element. If I gave KE:R to a publisher now it would come out in hardback in 18 months and paperback probably in about 3 years. That's just how they do it. It's a very rigid system. The theory is that you have to publish in hardback to get reviews, and you don't bring out the paperback until you've sold all the hardbacks. Which is fine for some books, but very much not all. Publishing on Substack means there's no physical book, but you do get the story straight away. I don't write the book then chop it into instalments and post them, I write it as I go. Obviously there's a road map, and I know where I'm going, but it's a much more immediate, reactive and personal way of storytelling, and it's one I believe in. So while there may be a paperback down the line, I'm not actively pursuing that outcome. But then Codename Villanelle was originally an e-book self-published on Amazon, and that led to the TV series and everything that followed, so who knows?
I would love that so I can put it with my other books on my bookshelf. I just love books and feeling the pages and I love the smell of books. Its a sensory experience for me because of my autism. But I am also just happy I got to read it.
Omg 😮 the last instalment! It’s gonna be insanely great 💯🔥🎢! Nervous but super excited 😝! My stomach is flipping, people get subscribing for an amazing Journey packed full of adventures 🥳👏👏👏
I can't wait Luke! I am so scared for Villanelle and Eve. I do hope Villanelle is not seriously wounded. Very excited to see what happens to our girls. Please let them go on to be together forever. They are in love and I hope nothing will ever part them again! Thanks for your incredible writing Luke!

Oooh! Looking forward to this. I usually save up your chapters so that I can read two or three at once, so this will be a real treat.
Sweaty palms at the thought!
