About the author

I have been a lifelong writer and storyteller. Salem, Oregon is where I spent my formative years and I graduated from Willamette University. After college, I spent a decade living in Portland, Oregon where I worked in advertising, game design, and technology.

I've written young adult and children's books for Scholastic, Little Brown Books For Young Readers and Katherine Tegen Books/ HarperCollins Publishers.

I've been fortunate enough to have had some bestselling series work: The Land of Elyon, Atherton, Elliot’s Park, 39 Clues, and Skeleton Creek. Here's a fun note...the books have been translated into approximately two dozen languages. Currently I'm developing a few new-media projects. Check out DARK EDEN to experience this type of cross-platform project.

When I'm not writing or creating a story, I spend my free time supporting literacy campaigns and community organizations, fly fishing, playing basketball and tennis, doing crosswords, watching movies, dabbling in video games, reading (lots), and (more than anything else) spending time with my wife and two daughters.

this was actually really cool!!! part reading, part watching little clips of videos! I wish this would have been actually scary and had more of a plot and that it was longer! I wonder if there is something like that out there?? anyways, I liked that it took place during lockdown when the world really didn't know what COVID was gonna do or how we were gonna go back to normal... I mean we still don't know... or is this our new normal! I think this is worth the read/listen/watch! it's a creepy little story (1 hour) to get into during Spooky Season!
