If you're waiting on the SCYTHE prequel, RISING THUNDER, and are wondering what to read in the meantime: Have you read my most recent novel, ALL BETTER NOW? If you like UNWIND or SCYTHE, I think you'll like this one!

Thank you, South Carolina Junior Book Awards, for including BREAK TO YOU in your list!

And more are on the way📚️

Still so humbled by this—Thank you, @stephenking

I can't tell you. But I can't stop you from guessing! 😁

For me, it's writing! I have so many upcoming projects that I barely have time to read these days.

"He Opens a Window", a short story in this collection, eventually became the foundation for my graphic novel, illustrated by Andrés Vera Martinez, COURAGE TO DREAM which came out in 2023. 21 years between the two projects!

The book is in process and on it's merry way too you! RISING THUNDER, the first book in the SCYTHE prequel trilogy, FIRST BLADES, comes out December 1st, 2026!

See you at the Tucson Book Festival this weekend!

It's always such a great surprise when readers show up to my book signings cosplaying as my characters. Way to bring them to life!

Lots of drafts in the works right now. Take a guess what comes after RISING THUNDER!

Happy #mememonday! What book world are you trying to break into first?

Humbling AND sobering to see that DUCKLING UGLY is 20 years old! DUCKLING UGLY is part of my Dark Fusion series, which are modern takes on fairytales, so they contain some of the darkest endings of all my books. Have you read it?

Reminder: Get ready to spring forward tomorrow! ⏰️

See you next week at the Tucson Festival of Books!

Sorry not sorry 😁 Can you guess which characters I'm referencing? BEWARE SPOILERS IF YOU GO TO THE COMMENTS!

Just wait—you're going to love it! 👹

Cover coming soon! Read more on my IG, as the character limit is TOO limited here. "This long-awaited prequel to Neal Shusterman’s blockbuster Arc of a Scythe series reveals the fragile moment before the world changes forever…and the hidden forces that set the storm in motion."

How many of my readers are left-handed? Sound off in the comments!

Excited for a sneak peek of the SCYTHE prequel, RISING THUNDER?
