The Gift of UNGIFTED

Hope everybody had a nice summer. Mine was amazing – a perfect mix of family stuff and lots of writing.

More on that later, but I want to give everybody a heads-up that my new book UNGIFTED is coming out on Tuesday, August 21st. That’s only 5 days away! How come I haven’t been building the anticipation up to this point? Apparently, I too am ungifted — just like Donovan Curtis, the main character.

Which is not to say that UNGIFTED is based on my life. Donovan is hiding out in his school district’s special gifted academy to try to escape the consequences of a prank gone haywire. That’s not so easy when you’re a regular guy thrown in the mix with super-geniuses.

Then again, although not all of us have tried to hide out in the gifted program, pretty much everybody has been placed in a situation where we’ve had to bluff our way through, pretending to be something we’re not. So I suppose there’s a little ungiftedness inside all of us.

Check out the sample chapters on our main page. I’m really excited about this one. I can’t wait for UNGIFTED to hit the shelves.

Enjoy the rest of your summer!
