VERONICA MARS Hits the Books

As if the Veronica Mars movie news wasn’t enough, Vintage Books has just announced the Veronica Mars book series! The books will feature an adult Veronica and will take place after the events in the movie.

The books will contain completely new stories, and will be stand-alone novels that will appeal to fans of the show, as well as general mystery readers. The plot of the first book in the series will begin where events of the upcoming “Veronica Mars” film end, and will feature an adult Veronica Mars. Rob Thomas, the show’s creator (and the author of several novels prior to his television career), will develop and co-write the book series.

“I started my career as a novelist. Veronica Mars was first imagined as a novel. I’m thrilled that I’m going to get the opportunity to continue telling Veronica Mars stories in a form I’ve loved and missed,” Thomas said.

So remind me again why this show was yanked off the air? Its popularity continues to grow even ten years after its premiere.
