Milestones and Updates

Thanks to the ongoing support of all my INCREDIBLE readers, I hit another sales milestone in May, with more than 50,000 books sold. All I can say is THANK YOU. I work as hard as I can to write good books that people will enjoy, but without my readers all my hard work wouldn't mean a thing. You people are my REASON for writing, and I love you all.

It's been a while since I posted here, mostly because I've been exceptionally busy with my latest projects and enjoying some summer fun with friends and family who have been visiting my wife and I here in Hawaii. However, I promise there's a lot more to come from me soon. Here's what I've been working on:

1) Promoting the Slip Trilogy and Salem's Revenge series. So far my two new series are getting fantastic reviews, thank you to all my early readers who have enjoyed these two trilogies and shared your enjoyment with others!

2) New YA project- I've been working hard on finishing my new YA project, a fairytale retelling that  my agent is now pitching to publishers, many of whom have already requested a full manuscript. Fingers and toes are crossed that they enjoy it enough to make an offer!

3) Nikki Powergloves- Last two books! Books 5 and 6 in The Adventures of Nikki Powergloves Children's series are coming soon for my younger readers! Book 5, titled Nikki Powergloves vs. the Power Outlaws is finished and I expect to publish it by the end of the summer. I'm nearly finished with the first draft of Book 6, Nikki Powergloves and the Power Giver, which I also plan to publish this summer!

4) The Dwellers Saga Audiobooks! The Moon Dwellers audiobook is out and listeners are enjoying Julia Whelan's and Will Damron's awesome narrations of Adele and Tristan. The audiobook for The Star Dwellers comes out TOMORROW! Enjoy :)

That's it for now! I'll let you know as soon as I have any news on the publishing front. Thanks again for helping me hit this incredible milestone and for changing my life in so many ways!
