Uh oh. Looks like the LAST MAN STANDING ARCs in the UK are fully redacted…

Throwback -- first time on a film set as a writer in 2013, working with the wondrous Elizabeth Allen Rosenbaum.

Evan Smoak was raised and trained in an off-the-books black box program designed to create the perfect deniable intelligence asset: a disposable assassin. He was Orphan X—until he broke with the Program and used everything he learned to disappear and become the legendary protector, the Nowhere Man.

“Evan’s usual playbook isn’t enough this time, and watching him dig for something beyond tactics, something more human, makes this one of the most emotionally charged entries in the series.” -firstCLUE on LAST MAN STANDING, on-sale: February 9th. Thank you for kind words, firstCLUE!

The zombie fungus that was the inspiration for my YA series The Rains! Of course, in my world? It DOES jump into humans.

Last month, I posted a video with all my foreign covers, and several of you wanted to take a closer look, so here they are! Which version is your favorite?

A reader fan-casted the Orphan X movie, complete with a movie poster. What do you think? What changes would YOU make?

At the end of an exhausting writing day, I consult my household relaxation experts on how to unwind.

Brilliant show. Gripping, dark, and so astute psychologically. Elizabeth Meriwether, who created FURIOUS, also created New Girl and wrote No Strings Attached. What an amazing talent she is -- so much insight and range.

I'm beyond grateful to thriller legends David Baldacci, Lee Child, and Karin Slaughter for their kind words about the Orphan X series. If you haven't taken the dive into the series yet, now is a good time to see what they're talking about. (LAST MAN STANDING drops 2/9).

I hesitate to give concrete writing advice –everyone's creative process is different– but this is what has always worked for me. What topics do you find yourself drawn to again and again?

A change in plans: Unfortunately, I will no longer be attending Bloody Scotland this year due to an unavoidable personal matter. I'm very sorry to miss it and hope to make it across the pond -- and to Bloody Scotland -- some time soon.
