It's here! It's really here! The cover for my next novel, DRIFTERS, coming from Walden Pond Press and HarperCollins Publishers on May 10, 2022.
Here is the cover and the publisher's description. And as always, if you have questions, you can drop me a line at the email on the contact page, or find me on Instagram, Facebook or Twitter. Can't wait to share this book with you!
1. What is this book called? The working title is DRIFTERS. The second place title is THE DRIFT. I think we are going to go with Drifters.
2. Is there a cover yet? I have seen the designs for the cover, and it RULES! But I can't share them yet.
3. Is this the fourth book in the Chronicle of the Dark Star? Ahem, not exactly, BUT, for the keen-eyed reader of that series, there will be many Easter eggs for you to find in Drifters, as it takes place in the same universe, but on Earth. You might even see some familiar names and sights, and learn something about a certain something's origins. ;)
4. What is this book about? On the lonely coast of Washington State, in our current time, a girl named Jovie is searching for her best friend, who has gone missing. There are no leads, and no breaks in the case...until Jovie and her friends Sylvan and Mason discover that her friend has been literally forgotten about by everyone in town. As they dig further into this strange phenomenon, they discover that something much larger, much more dangerous, and dare I say, cosmic, may be happening in their little town, and may have been happening for a long, long time. There is an account of a shipwreck in the 1800's, a mysterious spyglass with otherworldly powers, an abandoned nuclear plant that may not be abandoned, an empty seat at school that isn't really empty, a fearful description of a "shadow on the stars"... and oh so much more.
So yeah! I am very excited. I wish this book was already finished and on a bookshelf, but I'm getting there. More updates soon!
Hey check it out: coming November 19th, my first original novel based on the Netflix series Lost in Space! I've written two novels featuring original adventures for Will Robinson and his Robot and family (the second comes out in 2020).

It is Earth year 2256—but the fate of the few who even remember Earth is perilously in doubt. Mina Saunders-Chang and many of the surviving humans are stranded in the Centauri system, having barely survived their confrontation with the Telphon refugees. Now everyone—human and Telphon alike—is caught in the blast zone of the Centauri supernova. And yet there's only one question Mina is asking:
