ONLY ONE MORE WEEK UNTIL MEMORY MAZE
Look into my eyes … closer … you’re very relaxed … now you’re in my power and will do anything I command. Which makes this an excellent time to remind you that MEMORY MAZE, Book 2 of THE HYPNOTISTS hits the shelves on July 29th, exactly one week from now!
MASTERMINDS COVER REVEALED
Here it is, the cover for Book 1 of my brand new series MASTERMINDS. And if I do say so myself, it’s a thing of beauty. I’m so psyched about this new trilogy, which follows a group of kids living in a seemingly perfect town who discover a dark secret that connects them to some of […]
WHAT DOESN’T KILL YOU MAKES YOU STRONGER
Souvenir of Scholastic’s blockbuster “Worlds Collide” tour, featuring authors from THE 39 CLUES, INFINITY RING, and SPIRIT ANIMALS. (In actuality, it was a really fun trip. We authors are a lot harder to kill than that!)
THE HYPNOTISTS – NOW IN PAPERBACK
Actually, the paperback of THE HYPNOTISTS has been out for two weeks already, so I’m a very bad blogger, since I’m only mentioning it now.

Only seventeen […]

39 CLUES: UNSTOPPABLE, BOOK 4 FLASHPOINT NOW … PURPLE???
Yes, these are the kinds of things we writers get all excited about. The cover of THE 39 CLUES: UNSTOPPABLE, BOOK 4 – FLASHPOINT is now purple. It looks super-awesome – not that it will make true 39 CLUES fans any more enthusiastic about the fourth and final installment in the amazing UNSTOPPABLE series. It’s […]

LIVE AT SKOKIE PUBLIC LIBRARY
Check out this great interview from my visit to Skokie Library in Illinois. Fun fact: just a few hours from this filming, I was hunched on a folding cot at O’Hare airport along with 2000 other stranded people, trying (unsuccessfully) to sleep after my St. Louis flight was canceled.
ATTENTION: ST. LOUIS FANS – SORRY!
Last week I was forced to cancel three appearances in St. Louis because of flight disruptions around the country. I was stuck at O’Hare airport in Chicago. The plane that was supposed to take me from Chicago to St. Louis was three hours late leaving Dallas, and, at the last minute, diverted to Indianapolis. It […]
