Rex Pickett to Write New Sideways Sequel

Just read on Rex Pickett’s blog that he is planning to write another Sideways novel — the last in the “trilogy” apparently — that should take place in Chile.

Pretty cool news. He came out with Vertical last year (maybe late 2010?) — actually this particular post is a (rather long) explanation as to why you shouldn’t expect to see Vertical the movie at your local cinema anytime soon. His own stage adaptation is running right now until July 22 to sold-out shows.

I liked both novels, and it’s been no secret that Sideways in particular (novel and movie) has been a huge influence on the novel I’m writing right now. I just hope I can have mine finished before Rex pumps out his latest… I mean, wouldn’t it be depressing if I don’t?
