My new book, Cracking Time, is finally here! This is my third Middle Grade / Young Adult book and my thirteenth book overall. Get it today! Actually, get two—it's the perfect stocking stuffer for that young person—or that person who's young at heart!—in your life.

Cracking Time is about a kid named Andy Wagner who's sent to an ultra-strange digital addiction camp. Determined to get his device back, he sneaks out only to discover the camp isn't helping kids … it's using them!

I love this book and I think you will too—it's a timeless, family-friendly adventure, filled with humor, crazy twists, and non-stop action. It'll inspire children, teens, and adults alike to work together, sacrifice for the good of others, and most of all, to put down their devices and start exploring this amazing world of ours! Check out the summary below. And if you’re interested in purchasing it, click the cover or anywhere you see the title. Thanks for your support!

Andy Wagner spends every waking moment on his phone, watching videos to his heart's content. His parents mostly put up with it … until he gets so caught up in one video that he falls into a raging river!

It's time for a crackdown and soon, he's enrolled at Camp Digi-Detox, an ultra-mysterious digital detox program. Undaunted, he and his fellow addicts launch a daring strike to get their devices back. But as their plan unfolds, they make a startling discovery. Camp Digi-Detox isn't helping kids. Rather, it's using them, in a twisted bid to upend reality.

The ace phone addict is now firmly stuck in the physical world … and it's going to take every bodily skill he's got to keep from being erased.

Exhilarating yet funny, timely yet timeless, David Meyer's Cracking Time will spark the imagination of the young as well as the young at heart. If you enjoyed Masterminds by Gordon Korman, you’ll love this thrilling novel!

Next month, on November 11, I’m planning to release my next book, Cracking Time. It’s the first in a brand new series, The Uncrackables. Check out the blurb below!

With Christmas fast approaching, I wanted to let you know about my latest book, Misguided. It’s got the adventurous spirit of Cy Reed along with the unexpected twists of Behemoth, all set in a mysterious Christmas town.

A picture-perfect Christmas wonderland … built on a web of shocking secrets and cryptic anomalies!

Over the years, I’ve written a wide variety of stuff … the Cy Reed Adventures, Behemoth and Apex Predator, Destroying Magic, and Broken Nature. And now I’m doing something new again. You see, Misguided is my first Middle-Grade story. Like the rest of my stuff, it’s written for all ages. It’s just that this book happens to revolve around younger, teenage characters.

Misguided stars Daniel Ford, a tour guide in Braxton, the ultimate Christmas town. Braxton seems too good to be true … and it is. For it’s full of mystery …

… and danger.

Your copy of Misguided is just moments away. Click anywhere you see the title or cover to view the book at your favorite retailer!

A picture-perfect Christmas wonderland … built on a web of shocking secrets and cryptic anomalies.

For teenage tour guide Daniel Ford, Braxton is the ideal home, one of twinkling lights, swirling snow, and yuletide cheer. He’d never guess it’s got a dark side … until he stumbles right into it.

Suddenly, he’s under fire and searching for answers. But his investigation only turns up more questions: What’s buried beneath the streets of Braxton? Who else is after it? And just how far will they go to get their hands on it?

The master tour guide is now being led on a tour of his own … and it’s going to take every skill he’s got to survive.

Fast-paced and filled with humor, David Meyer’s Misguided will have readers on the edge of their seats, with unexpected twists and turns that will keep them guessing until the very end!

At last, we’ve reached the finish line! That’s right, folks … today, I’m releasing Broken People, the final book in the epic Broken Nature trilogy.

Long ago, the mysterious Broken Apocalypse ravaged Earth, drying up its surface water and reducing its soil to dust. Billions perished of thirst …

Broken Nature is an action-packed, post-apocalyptic series, one that revolves around the mind-boggling disappearance of Earth’s surface water. It stars two very different people—Titus Foster and Kayden Kell—as they fight to fix a very broken nature. No spoilers here, but this final book is truly awesome. You’re going to love how it ends!

If you haven’t tried the series yet, you’re in luck. Starting today, the Broken Lands ebook is on-sale for just $0.99! But act fast, because that price won’t last long.

Two survivors, barely clinging to life.

One final chance to save the world.

Broken People … Broken Nature.

Titus Foster is broken. His home is gone. His people are dead. His friends are on the run. Dying of thirst, he’ll hike across the deadly hinterlands for one last battle against an unbeatable foe. Will he save humanity? Or watch it take its final breath?

Kayden Kell is broken, too. Her city is no more. Her fellow citizens have been destroyed. On the verge of defeat, she’ll take an incredible chance. One that could fix a broken world … or doom it forever.

Broken People is an unforgettable, post-apocalyptic adventure. International bestselling author David Meyer pulls out all of the stops in this spellbinding conclusion to the epic Broken Nature trilogy!

In my last newsletter, I talked about an upcoming Cy Reed release. Unfortunately, it’s been put on hold for the time being. Long story short, we lost my father-in-law a few months ago and the impact of that tragedy is still reverberating through our family.

With that said, I’m still writing. I just don’t know what’s coming next. Regardless, I hope to get something out to you relatively soon. Stay tuned and I appreciate your patience!

Yours in Adventure,

David Meyer

Here’s this week’s writing excerpt, completed just yesterday. This story has a strong supernatural side, similar in style to Indiana Jones. It’s a pretty big departure for me as my previous Cy Reed books have all been quite grounded, with a solid base in science (albeit, speculative science, sometimes). That’s part of the reason why I’m considering spinning this off as a separate series. Anyway, enjoy!

“It’s getting bigger, too,” Jocelyn said. “I’d rather not be here when it gets through.”

“Unfortunately, Sawyer’s guys are holed up in the next room.” He shrugged. “They were at the block when we arrived. We managed to drive them back, but only as far as the statue.”

I furrowed my brow.

“Half of them are posted there,” he continued. “Every time we show our faces, they take a shot at us.”

“Half of them are at the statue?” My furrow hardened into a ridge. “Where’s the other half?”

“In the room after that one.”

“You can see them?” Jocelyn asked.

“Not easily,” he replied. “But yeah, I caught a glimpse of some people trekking that way.”

My eyes widened. “They’re trying to trap us.”

I found this today in my writing notebook. At the time, I was playing around with doing some more visual, Cy Reed storytelling. Look at all of that smudging! Ahh, that’s what I get for not using a tissue under my hand. Anyway, it’s nice to see it again!
