The Guardian have an interview with Philip Pullman on books and writing. Philip talks about his favourite books, his method of writing – painful – and advice for budding authors. The last question of the article asks what Pullman is working on next; he replies “A sequel to His Dark Materials. But I can't say more than that. It's going to be a long book, and I'm only part way through it.” Presumably he means The Book of Dust, an ongoing project which has become rather large – or possibly a new chapter in His Dark Materials altogether.
