Shirley Link & The Treasure Chest (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781484129432)

What do you want to be when you grow up? For a couple of decades I had a lot of answers to that question. I was a filmmaker, a travelling salesman, a bookseller, a videogame tester, and a videogame producer before I figured it out. What I discovered was that sometimes we save the best part for last. Now (and forever) I'm a writer. Shirley Link, a mystery chapter book series for kids 9-12 years old, has been my focus since 2012. Both books in the series have hit the top 5 in Teen Mysteries on Amazon, which was a dream come true. Shirley's fun because she knows what she's doing. There's no stumbling across victory. She plans eight moves ahead. I could write her forever, and plan to. But that doesn't mean I don't have other worlds ready to spring! In fact, I can't wait to roll out my next series, The Camelot Kids. Merlin, the greatest wizard to ever live, may be prepared for the random rogue wizard, or a hive of hungry dragons. But is he ready for The Camelot Kids? I live in Massachusetts, surrounded by the Forbidden Forest, with my wife and son. I'm scheduled to begin teaching classes in digital publishing and marketing at New York's School of Visual Arts MFA Visual Narrative program in 2015.
