Ahhhh that damned facebook again eh? 
The only way people seem to know anything about anything any more
There is some news; Mr Rankin is finishing his current book: The Chickens of Atlantis and Other Fowl and Filthy Fiends It is then said he will....and I quote: “Begin the new Brentford trilogy. The first book in that trilogy will be titled THE LORD OF THE RING ROADS.” Please note the word “trilogy” Oh and also what a great title!
........
Good stuff.
One can never have too many Pooley and Omally yarns.
Bring on the Brentford say I.
I have one more book to write for a publisher then Far Fetched Books, my own little book company will publish a new Brentford trilogy. Each book will be published as a signed and numbered limited edition of 5000 copies, for sale at events or through my Facebook page. In July I will publish ALICE ON MARS AND OTHER RAINY TALES, a one hundred page illustrated book (limited edition of 2000). I intend to self-publish one novel and one illustrated book each year until I snuff it. Then I won't write anything else.

Not too sure about the "snuff it" bit 
, but what a good idea. So many authors are now going down the self publish route. Roll on July I say 
And Douglas Adams had one published after the fat lady sang, so it could happen 
Yes happy to hear that, but how the hell are we sane people, ie not of the faceborg persausion going to get one.
but he did not put it on twitter.
Good to hear from you Robert & great to know you're getting Far Fetched Books going
A few questions:
Are you totally abandoning the traditional publishing route?
Does that mean there will only ever be 5000 copies of each new book published?
How will that affect the covers & book size? (hb, pb etc)
Is the Alice on Mars book totally seperate from the Empires books?
Is the 2nd Empires books still comming out & will those books continue too?
One novel & one illustrated books every year is quite a target, don't burn out 
Dr Bob, instead of faceborg use Far Fetched Books web site at:

Deep at least I think I can answer one of your questions, Alice on Mars is the 2nd Empires book as far as I have read.
Just added that to my favorites listing, thanks JD.
On that Far Fetched link, is it just e-books at the moment, or real books too?

e-Books at the moment as he doesn't own the publishing rights (so I believe) to his former novels.
Excited to hear about the self publishing.. Hope they aren't took expensive
