THANK YOU, TAIPEI AMERICAN SCHOOL
I had the most amazing week at Taipei American School, and met so many fantastic people. I even had a chance to look around Taiwan a little. On the left, check out the view from the mind-blowing Taipei 101. Below, that’s me exploring the spectacular coastline. (Sorry, but the picture of two TAS teachers running […]
AT LAST, THE FINAL TITLE FOR MASTERMINDS 2
At last, the FINAL title for Book 2 of MASTERMINDS can be released – MASTERMINDS: CRIMINAL DESTINY. Yes, I know, I’ve mentioned a couple of other things. Ignore those. This one’s definite! And the release date hasn’t changed – February 2016. And keep checking back in. I’ll be posting the cover as soon as it’s […]
GO JUMP IN THE POOL IS COMING TO THE SMALL SCREEN
MACDONALD HALL, my very first book series, is coming to the small screen! YTV and Aircraft Pictures have just started production on GO JUMP IN THE POOL, based on my second book. Check out the original Bruno and Boots (Jonny Gray and Callan Potter), looking snazzy in their Macdonald Hall blazers. I never could have […]
GET READY FOR “DRAGONFLY TUESDAY”
Yes, I know that if you’re reading this post, chances are that you already know that THE DRAGONFLY EFFECT comes out on Tuesday. But I’m just so psyched about the third and final book in THE HYPNOTISTS. A trilogy never quite feels like a full story until Book 3 is released, and THE HYPNOTISTS is […]

HEALTH UPDATE: VERY MUCH ALIVE
Not sure if this reader has been talking to my doctor lately. But I pride myself on my responsiveness to questions that arrive in the mail, so I pinched myself this morning, and I’m happy to report that I felt a little pain, leading me to the conclusion that I’m still alive. Hooray! (I’m 51, […]
THE NEW FACE OF I WANT TO GO HOME
Rudy Miller is back! Well, technically, he never left. But I WANT TO GO HOME had been reborn with a brand new cover for this old classic – the first book I ever wrote that wasn’t about Bruno and Boots and Macdonald Hall. I WANT TO GO HOME began when I was in ninth grade, […]

FLORIDA JUMPS ON THE “HYPNOTIC” BANDWAGON
Mesmerizing news from Florida: THE HYPNOTISTS has been nominated for Sunshine State Young Readers Award. And it only took a little “suggestion …” from me. (Seriously, when they say “Don’t look into his eyes,” they mean DON’T look into his eyes!) However it happened, I hope the readers of Florida are entranced! PS: This is […]
