Another long period of silence. Apologies. A busy time of year in school with final papers, exams and performance projects all coming down to the wire. But as a novelist I have been far from idle. I have completed the new book, a Thomas Knight story involving a lost Shakespeare play called Love’s Labour’s Won …

It’s been a while since I added to this, but not for lack of news. I’ll do it in bits… FIFTH DAY seems to have done well. It’s still very much around, and a lot of stores are now carrying MASK again, whose sales also spiked after FIFTH came out. I’ve had lots of good …

My big news is that FIFTH made the New York Times bestseller list (#28). Very good news. Thanks to all who sent birthday greetings yesterday!

Just back from Thrillerfest in NYC and a round of meetings with agents and everyone at Berkley: a fun and productive time. At the conference I got to meet (and thank) all the folk who had so graciously done blurbs for my books: Doug Preston, Steve Berry, James Rollins and a handful of others. James …

Fifth Day is now well and truly OUT! It continues to be strange to me to see the book in central store displays and, perhaps odder still, in grocery stores and pharmacies. I still haven’t stumbled on someone reading it (or Mask, for that matter), something I think will push the strangeness still further. I’m …

So here we go again. The book is not supposed to be out till early next week, but it’s been showing up on shelves erratically all week. The waiting and watching and stressing starts all over… More later.

Got a very exciting review for the new book from Publishers Weekly, and it inspired me to redesign the site to accommodate both novels. I also now have a place for that very cool James Rollins quote. Signed the deal for the Indonesian edition of MASK. Have been busily setting up signings which I’ll enter …

Well, it’s been a long semester. My show (Doctor Faustus) opened and closed after a grueling four month rehearsal period which took all my attention. It was worth the work, but it WAS work. In the meantime, MASK continued to sell and I did a deal for an Indonesian edition. The Hebrew version recently came …

On The Fifth Day is now available for pre-order through Amazon, Books-a-million and other on-line stores! I’ve put a link on the main page. The book will be released at the beginning of July. Just agreed to a deal with Nemira for publication of FIFTH in Romania. They are also the publishers of MASK for …

Happy New Year! I’ve been pretty lax up-dating this of late as the tail end of the semester got the better of me, but I hope to have more time this year in between various writing assignments and directing Dr. Faustus on the UNCC mainstage. The new book, officially titled ON THE FIFTH DAY has …
