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 […]
The little robot that could is on a roll. UNGIFTED just won the Oregon Readers Choice Award for Middle School! Psyched, psyched, psyched! Thank you, readers of Oregon!
Great news! Books a Million has chosen UNGIFTED for their kids book club in May. Honest! CHECK IT OUT HERE. Tin Man is a bundle of circuits, incapable of getting psyched about this. I, however, am all too human. So: hooray!
Check out this great profile from Long Island Pulse magazine. (Inside info: the writer is a former fan who actually sold attack jelly on the streets of New York City when he was a kid. I never would have thought of that – not even when I was writing NO COINS PLEASE.) CLICK HERE TO […]

Courtesy of the awesome Marinette Middle School in Marinette, WI. Picture this: the songs stylings of Anthony Lamalfa, absolutely live, with 550 kids singing backup. Honestly, I’m not sure how I mustered the courage to give my presentation after that. It was a seriously tough act to follow! CLICK HERE TO WATCH

In THE DRAGONFLY EFFECT, Jax has been recruited by the U.S. Army’s Hypnotic Warfare Research Department. But Dr. Elias Mako has escaped from prison, and this […]
