Happy Anniversary, Graphix! + News!

Hey, guys! Yesterday was Graphix's Tenth Anniversary! My publisher (an imprint of Scholastic) is one decade old, and I'm pleased to say I've been working with them since the beginning! I signed my first contract in 2004, and my first Baby-sitters Club graphic novel was published in 2006. It has been a wild and wonderful ride, and we're all looking forward to more great stuff in the future. A few comics news sites broke the story about several upcoming Graphix books yesterday, and included among the news was the fact that...I've signed up to do three more books! That, plus the one I'm currently working on, means I'll be publishing FOUR graphic novels between now and 2022.

While I can't tell you any of the specifics yet, the press release teases that I'll be doing (another) nonfiction family story (along the lines of Smile and Sisters), a collection of short stories, and a fictional graphic novel. I have lots of ideas and I'm looking forward to getting them out of my head and onto paper!

But for now, it's back to work on my current project, which is a fiction story with a fantastic setting, slated for 2016. I hope to be able to share more details soon.

That's all for the moment!
