Yup, it's for real, although I'd heard April 4 and not April 2. I enjoyed the River Song book they released a while back (The Angel's Kiss), though I don't know if this one is written by the same author.
Yes! It's written as a pastiche of hardboiled detective novels, and while I thought the ending didn't quite hold together, the rest of the book was loads of fun.
If the press release is Sunday, well. More than likely real? I'm not sure if it'd have an actual tie in to Clara's backstory, like the article said, although I suppose it would be neat if it did.
I'm looking forward to it! Looks like a 50s style girls' adventure book which I already love, plus DW elements. Just really hope they got a female writer...oh, please let it be Jac Rayner!!!
The Melody Malone one was a big seller (and a fun quick read) so I am not surprised to see this one released.
This does seem up your alley I think :) I'll have to track both this one and the Melody Malone one down. I'm so bad with e-books and iTunes and stuff like that.
