My first kids' picture book, The Wrong Monster, wonderfully illustrated by Jiyoon Shin, was released on June 30th and has already gotten many great reviews. Thank you to everyone who has reviewed it.

What am I doing? In my journal here, I've started posting Japan-related things that tie-in to my novels, thinking that might interest my readers. But it was nearly crickets on my UFO catcher post last week! Maybe I took a wrong turn. So this week I'm just going to give a quick update on what's …
On June 7th, I shared the results of my new cover poll for Headless. And I shared what I planned to do. I decided to combine a couple of the covers by giving one of the illustrations of the characters to the designer who did the most popular cover. And here are the results! Character …
The year is almost over. Again. They seem to be somewhat rapid fire lately. As I write this, I am craving cookies. I’ve been craving cookies all day. There are no cookies in my house. I am also riding the stationary bike as I write this. I know! Ridiculous! But this is something that I’ve …

So...um...I have a new website. I know, I know. This is hard to hear, but it's this really cool, well-designed site to promote my new …

I am starting anew here at A New Lowe. It has been a long time since my last post, but it is time to reclaim, rebuild and refortify. I sense a battle on the wind. This time, there will be a focus on my writing projects. I will refrain from the random nonsense that littered the …
