"Won't want to follow it": Jeffrey Archer plans to put down the pen with final novel

The time has nearly come for Jeffrey Archer to put down the pen. 

The prolific author and former member of Lords has sold over 350 million copies of his books, and has just wrapped up the William Warwick series with the release of the eighth book ‘End Game’. 

He has one more book left to write, which he’s aiming to finish by Christmas and release in September next year. 

But although this will be Archer’s final book, he’s not stepping back from writing altogether, telling Mike Hosking that he still plans on writing short stories and perhaps a screenplay. 

“This book is, frankly, bigger than ‘Kane and Abel’ as a story,” he said. 

“I’ve got to see if I’ve been able to write it, and frankly, I won’t want to follow it.”
