About the author

I'm a journalist and author based in L.A., covering the film and TV bizzes, and writing books for younger readers on the march, between article deadlines.

Or is it that I write articles while on deadlines for a book!?

I'm the author of the "Danger Boy" time travel series, a contributor to several anthologies, and the "words" half of last years words-and-pictures "Two Trickster Tango," with that great Doug Potter art!

Currently, I'm the writer of the "Max Random" series from Trifecta Publishing -- a boy, a girl, and a go-kart try to make it out of L.A. when the Nano-Z's arrive.

That book is out now, with the follow-up a-bornin' as we speak. Shh -- don't my tell any of my journalism editors I'm working on the book!

I thought this book was okay, can get a little confusing at some points, because of the way the author jumps around in time. This book goes from present day to WWII all the way back to King Arthur. It was an interesting plot and had a lot of cool ideas in it. This book had a good ending, but I do find it confusing how history isn't being messed up when the main character is jumping around to ancient times with a talking dinosaur friend. I still would read this book though just because it is something new to try.

This book was really good. If you like science fiction then you should read this even if you don't like science fiction you should still read this book. It makes you think a lot about time travel and its consequences.

I was disappointed that it didn't retain the innovative narrative style of ancient fire (original edition).

They gave this book the wrong title. Takes place more in San Francisco then King Arthurs time.

I didnt like how it kept changing who's point of view it was each chapter becaus it was to confusing and hard to keep up with. Also how they used a sort of weird language in some parts that was jiberish. they were noises like: tkkk! glkk! wich was poitnless because the characters spoke english then added that on the end of it.

Still not the best book. The story line is really herky jerky. But I went to a book fair and bought the first 3 so I will read them all. I do like the idea behind it but the story could flow much smoother.

This book was even better than the first. Again half to get into it before you understand what is going on.(Well I guess thats expected when they are traveling through time.)

This book was good. However, i was not really interested in the protagonist other than Eli. It was still a good book to read.

This series is interesting to say the least. I really enjoyed it the book itself was fun,engaging,full of adventure and a lot more. I can genuinely say I am excited to read the next book and see what will happen next. I do the like idea of time travel and the 5th dimension I think it is a cool concept to play with in books. I give props for this series being written in the early 2000's though nice job.
