I do not have a favorite child. Each of them makes me smile, drives me crazy, and fills me with pride and wonder. I couldn’t imagine life without any one of them. The same is true for my books. Here they are. Read about them. Check out what people say. Read an excerpt.
Welcome to my updated website. Bright colours, easy navigation, mostly new jokes. I’m about the same. Still chatty, over-caffeinated, and running late. Still bad at social media. Still as surprised by the world as I look in this old picture (my hair is gray and I have different glasses, but this may give the truest idea of me). Recent news: I remembered to renew my driver’s licence and pay the phone bill. Want to know anything more about me? You’re in the right place.
Oh, and I have another book coming out this fall. At The Speed Of Gus features one of the most 'me' heroes I've ever written. More on it in the blog.
Are you sitting down? You'd better be. Because this trailer will Blow You Away. (Seriously, it's pretty epic. Try not to giggle.)
