Upcoming Book
The Dead Boys, my third middle grade book for Putnam will be released on September 2, 2010, which happens to be my birthday. Thanks, Putnam! You can now pre-order your copy on amazon.com.
Synopsis: When twelve year old Teddy Mathews moves to a strange desert town in the middle of nowhere, he finds himself living among rattlesnakes, scorpions, black widow spiders, and downstream from the local nuclear plant.
As the newcomer, he also has no friends. Even worse, the first three boys he meets mysteriously disappear. Teddy begins to investigate. To his horror, he discovers that they’ve all been missing for decades—he’s been hanging out with dead boys!
Add a mutant kid-eating tree next door, and Teddy's got an incredible mystery on his hands loaded with ghosts, desert dangers, and a sinister dark world lurking just beneath the deceptively sunny surface of my strange childhood hometown of Richland, Washington.
Movie Scene
The live action movie of Demonkeeper is in development. Director Sam Fell (The Tale of Despereaux, Flushed Away) is attached to helm the project.
Overseas
Demonkeeper has now been sold in ten countries: United States, Germany (3-book deal), Italy, France (2-book deal), Poland, Russia, Finland, Romania, Brazil and Spain.
Murrische Monster, the second in a Demonkeeper series for Random House - Germany is out, and I am feverishly writing away on the third installment in the series! Demonkeeper I debuted as a bestseller in Germany in 2008. All three books are under the Penhaligon imprint.
Penhaligon also plans to release Goblins! An Underearth Adventure soon.
