When soon-to-be single parent Thursday Next emerges from her comfortable life inside an unpublished book, she steps into a new age of fictional narrative. The entire book world is abuzz with anticipation of an improved Text Operating System that moves from the 8-plot to the new 32-plot story system. But danger lurks when Jurisfiction agents keep turning up dead. When Thursday steps in, she eincounters Dickens' Miss Havisham, passes through Emily Bronte's Wuthering Heights, and deals with a mispeling vyrus, holesmiths, and unionized nursery rhymes. THE WELL OF LOST PLOTS---the place where all fiction is created---is an exhilarating romp through literary classics, an insightful look into how books are made, anda jewel in the long tradition of British nonsense.

Jasper Fforde is the author of the critically acclaimed NYT bestseller THE EYRE AFFAIR, an imaginative literary crime-caper and first in the Thursday Next trilogy. The follow up title, LOST IN A GOOD BOOK, released in 2003. Fforde has worked for many years in the film industry as a camera technician on films including The Mask of Zorro, Entrapment, and The Saint. Raised in England, he lives and works in Wales.
