Exciting news! I have two newly scheduled book launch events.
Whether or not you're able to make it to one of these events, these are also great places to pre-order Don't Touch and support a couple of excellent independent bookstores!

Some of my goofy theater friends got together for a Memorial Day BBQ and managed to sneakily film this in my presence without me catching on. Victoria R. Golden asked these nuts what they thought my book was about--and a few even came close. For the record, Don't Touch is definitely not about:
1. magical powers 2. superpowers 3. genetic sticky-skin defects 4. a galactically imperialistic female president with genocidal tendencies 5. katanas 6. leprosy 7. hobbits 8. vampires 9. crime-fighting mummies 10. teenage natural history enthusiasts 11. fried chicken 12. Lithuania 13. Mega Man 14. Romeo & Juliet Though it may include: 1. a discussion of superpowers 2. gloves (albeit not lace ones) 3. theater as an outlet to let "feelings out into society" 4. a crush on a boy in a play 5. a gay teen (though not one who has problems with touching) 6. a reference to time travel 7. love 8. fighting 9. Alabama 10. coming of age 11. divorce 12. OCD 13. Shakespeare 14. moving, world-changing genius (according to my excellent friends who have not yet read the book) Two exciting cover updates have come about that I haven't yet shared here. For starters, Don't Touch has a new, darker look. Personally, I love it! What do you think? I've gotten a glimpse of the full jacket design as well, and I couldn't be happier. Also, my short story, "The Game of Boys and Monsters," which will release October 7th as a digital short with HarperTeen Impulse has a cover now! When you write a short story, you don't think about cover art, but it makes sense for digital shorts. The cover holds the story's place on the digital shelf! And this is a longish short story (40 pages), a novelette some might say. I think the cover perfectly captures the story's tone and contains some nice thematic imagery as well. And if you'll notice, my name is in the same font on both covers. No, I don't think I've ever loved a font so much as that one. Check out this Periodic Table of Epic Reads! I've read a lot of these, but I've already seen Crossroad Reviews treating it as a reading challenge. EPIC indeed! I've always wanted to be an element.
