The first three books in a new six-book series called "Game On" that I'm writing for Bakken Books, is coming out later this spring. Here's a rough sketch for one of the interior illustrations in book 1, The Stream Team.

I just made a deal to write a book about one of my favorite topics ever--comics! To give you a hint as to what specific comic book series I'm writing about, take a look at the photo below. If you don't recognize the face, the artwork he's holding up may give you a clue.  More news soon!

What, another new book?

That's right, I just finished the first draft of Off the Hook, book 8 in the Milligan Creek Series. As always, I had a blast writing it. In case the title doesn't make it clear, it's about a fishing tournament and a long-festering feud, and it all comes to a head at Lark Lake, just outside of Milligan Creek, Saskatchewan. The book will be available later this spring, just in time for fishing season!

I just finished a new book!

It's called Total Bots, and it's book 2 in the Game On series, with book 1, The Stream Team, coming out soon from Bakken Books in March. I'm going to take a short break to finish Off the Hook, book 8 in the Milligan Creek series, then it's on to book 3 of Game On, One-Shot Wonders. I never imagined I'd be writing a series about a bunch of kids trying to make it big on Fortnite, but I'm having a blast working on it, and I can't wait to get it out there.

A sneak peek at my new series for Bakken Books

1/29/2024

0 Comments

 
The series is called Game On, and it's for kids ages 8-12. Here's an overview:
Meet Wyatt Kelsey, a fourteen-year-old gamer with dreams as big as his Fortnite fails. Desperate to achieve fame and fortune as a streaming sensation, Wyatt concocts a wild plan to assemble the ultimate squad. But there’s a twist—his recruits know nothing about Fortnite! What they do have, though, are the skills that could make them the greatest team of all time. All Wyatt has to do is train them.
 
But as Wyatt soon learns, transforming this group of misfiring misfits into a squad of no-scope snipers is nowhere near the easy path to success that he was hoping for. And if he fails, not only will it mean the end of his dream, it will also send him crashing straight into his worst nightmare—a summer job.
 
Join Wyatt on a rollercoaster ride through the ups and downs of friendship, gaming, and the unpredictable journey to becoming a Fortnite sensation. Will he and his team triumph against all odds, or is his goal destined to fade away like a pixelated sunset? Get ready for a hilarious and heartwarming tale of determination, camaraderie, and the unexpected twists that come with chasing your wildest dreams.
Book 1 is called The Stream Team, and it will be available in the first quater of 2024 from Bakken Books. To whet your appetite, here's a peek at a portion of the cover--which is still a work in progress.

A quick update on current writing projects

As of this moment, I am 29,711 words into Off the Hook, book 8 in the Milligan Creek Series. This story revolves around a fishing tournament, with a quest for fame, fortune, fish, and revenge driving the action. I'm having a blast writing it, and I can often be found laughing to myself in my office in response to my characters' crazy antics. The way things are going, I should have a solid first draft by the end of next week, and with any luck, the book will be available in the first a quarter of 2024.

In the meantime, I'm also very close to finishing the backstory for Teeth, book 3 in the Uncanny Icons Series, which is about some glow-in-the-dark vampire teeth that are far more than a mere novelty item.

Last month, I also completed The Stream Team, which is book 1 in a new six-book series called Game On that I'm writing for Bakken Books. It's about a group of unlikely gamers who are trying to become a championship Fortnite squad. The book will come out in the first quarter of next year. 


And don't forget Danica Panica! The first six books in that series are now available from Bakken as well, and if you order before Dec. 15, you can still get them in time for Christmas!
