Twin Peaks co-creator Mark Frost is writing a new book that will bridge the gap between the original series and the upcoming Showtime revival.
Flatiron Books has announced that it will publish The Secret Lives of Twin Peaks in late 2015 as part of the run-up to new episodes premiering in 2016.

Frost's book will offer key details on what has happened to the residents of Twin Peaks over the last 25 years.
The Secret Lives of Twin Peaks will also explore the supernatural elements from the original series.
"This has long been a dream project of mine that will bring a whole other aspect of the world of Twin Peaks to life, for old fans and new," Frost said in a statement.

"I couldn't be more thrilled."
A previous Twin Peaks spinoff book titled The Secret Diary of Laura Palmer, written by David Lynch's daughter Jennider, was released between the show's first and second seasons in 1990.
Mark Frost's brother Scott Frost wrote The Autobiography of FBI Special Agent Dale Cooper: My Life, My Tapes - ostensibly a transcription of Cooper's dictaphone recordings and released in 1991.
Frost and David Lynch are beginning work on an all-new string of nine episodes to premiere in 2016.
