This post used to be about problems getting some of the books from Amazon but that’s been worked out, so Thank you all for your support while you’re waiting for Graceful, and once i finish the Candymakers sequel I’ll do my best to catch up with posting your comments and answering questions. Thank you for…

I had a blast writing for younger readers this time around. Space Taxi: Archie Takes Flight is the first in the series. The second, “Space Taxi: Water Planet Rescue,” will be out in September. Check out the awesome (and informative!) website our publisher is making for the series. They have lots of cool stuff planned…

Book Two! THE CANDYMAKERS’ CHOCOLATE CHALLENGE coming out Spring 2016 I know that sounds like a long time, but in the publishing world it really isn’t (plus i can’t start writing it for another few months!!). The title might change, but the plot will involve Logan, Daisy, Philip and Miles hitting the road in a…

Ok, so here’s the thing. You guys are AWESOME! And you’re not afraid to ask for what you want, that’s for sure! I’m sorry for the wait…but here goes. Like I said…two sequels. One I still can’t officially tell you for a few more days, (but if I HAD to give a hint…I’d say it…

It’s a snowy day here in New Jersey, perfect for curling up with hot chocolate and a book. I’m grateful for the owner of my wonderful Indie bookstore who loans me advance reading copies of upcoming books. The hardest part is choosing which to read first! Speaking of my local bookstore, just a reminder that…

How awesome are you all? You helped THE LAST PRESENT to turn up at #13 on the New York Times bestseller list its first week out! It’s all very exciting! Maybe I should listen to you and think about writing an offshoot of the series or something…hmm… I’m still going through the comments on the…

Happy back-to-school everyone! I love buying new school supplies, even when they’re not for me! Clean crisp notebooks full of possibility, sharpened #2 pencils, new lunch box with Shaun Cassidy on it…ok so they probably haven’t make those since the days i was in 6th grade but you get my drift. 🙂 So the biggest…

As always, if you purchase the book through my local wonderful independent bookstore (Sparta Books: 973-729-6200 spartabooks@embarqmail.com), I’ll sign ’em, they’ll ship ’em. And if you order PI IN THE SKY before the end of the week (June 15th), I’ll toss in an added (yummy) treat. But supporting your own community bookstore would be great,…

Well, you asked to read the first chapter…how about the first SEVEN chapters? The full book won’t be out until June 11th, but my ever-so-kind publisher is offering this sneak peek early. It’s like a third of the book! If you have any kind of e-reader it’s easy to order it directly from whoever provides…

MANGO IS TEN TODAY!! It’s been ten years since my first book — A Mango-Shaped Space — was published and it’s been a wild ride!! It took 49 rejection letters and many years of writing before that first acceptance letter, and I’m so grateful to Little Brown and Company in Boston (now NYC) who took…
