Dark, soulful tales that haunt long after the last page.
The UPS man brought me a gift today. I had no idea what it was, as I wasn’t expecting anything, and the envelop he left behind was pretty thin. I tore it open and found anthrax. Just kidding! It was porn. No, wait! It was this: Okay, the picture doesn’t do it justice. Here’s what…
Over the past couple of months my writing time has been spent in ways totally alien to me before meeting and writing a book with Carrie Jones in 2008. I’ve learned a lot about working with a legitimate agent and a major publishing house, and about writing for young adults. I thought I’d share a…

Well, it was time to report back to work last week. Not just the as-needed excursions I’d been making off and on all summer, but back to school for real. Students return this coming Thursday. I have a pretty sweet schedule this year, with two sections of AP Language, two sections of AP Literature, and two…
