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 […]

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 […]
