I'm involved in a new adventure! Here's the background -- Little, Brown, who was the original publisher of most of my YA suspense novels, has been leasing paperback rights to those books to Dell. Those leases get renewed at regular intervals. Little Brown now has started their own line of paperbacks, and want to bring those books out themselves. So, as Dell sells off their back stock, they aren't reprinting them. Little Brown will be bringing them out as paperback trade books, three at a time, until they're all back in print.

Meanwhile, I'm in the process of bringing some of those older books,(some published as long ago as the 60's),into the 21st Century. Nothing drastic -- the stories and characters have held strong over the years and won't be changed in any way -- but the characters in the books will have cell phones, computers, digital cameras, etc. I'm having a lot of fun doing this. One of the first books to be published in this new format will be Don't Look Behind You, due out this coming September.
