The Telegraph said 'after Deary was reported to have given up the bestselling series because he had run out of tales to tell.his publisher would not risk putting out any new ones'. Deary says he cannot write a new book unless commissioned.
He has not been told to stop writing but neither has he explicitly been asked to continue, citing as a probable cause the gamble involved in publishing a new book.

He said, 'I was clearly good at it, getting good marks, but no teacher ever said to me: you should try to do something with this'.
Instead, he pursued acting, and the writing 'eventually stemmed from that'. Terry Deary studied at drama college and worked as an actor-teacher at the TIE company in Wales. He then became a theatre director and began to write plays for children. Many of his TIE plays were eventually rewritten and adapted into the Horrible Histories book series. Deary said 'I was in this small touring company, taking plays for children round Welsh village halls.
I did find I had this facility for knocking ideas into scripts'. After a particularly successful tour of a play called The Custard Kid, about a 'cowardly cowboy', Deary decided he wanted to immortalise the production, so turned it into a book and sent it out to publishers. The 24th publisher said yes to the publication of the work by Deary, who was by now around 30 years old. By the time the idea of Horrible Histories was presented to him by his publisher, Deary had written around 50 children's novels. The Guardian explains, 'they wanted a 'history joke book' and – when he protested that he knew nothing about history – offered to provide the facts to go with the gags'. Deary explains the series' inception thus: 'The publishers originally asked for a joke book with a history theme.
They said, ‘Put in a few interesting facts to break up the jokes because some of your jokes are very bad.’ And when I looked at the facts, I found they were much more interesting than the jokes. So we ended up with a fact book with jokes. We created a new genre'.
