I just wanted to give everyone an update on one thing I've been working on. After a conversation with a neighbor in which she was asking me about books boys would like (she has a son who is the same age as my third), I decided to begin a new blog. The title is "
Boys Read Too." These will consist of books I have read in the Juvenile and Young Adult category, many of them ones I have presented at local junior and high schools. If you have a chance, please check it out, and be sure to refer to it if you know of any boys in need of a good book.
I only have about three books posted but I will be posting all of the reviews I've already done in the coming days.
God bless!

It's so important to draw attention to reading, and attract reluctant readers to it, especially boys. In fact, I've recently completed a feature magazine article on this subject that came out in October, "Help for Struggling, Reluctant Readers."
I grew up as a reluctant reader, in spite of the fact that my father published over 70 books. Now I write action-adventures & mysteries, especially for tween boys, that avid boy readers and girls enjoy just as much.
My blog, Books for Boys http://booksandboys.blogspot.com is dedicated to drawing attention to the importance of reading. And my new book, Lost Island Smugglers - first in the Sam Cooper Adventure Series - is coming out in July-August. Contracts are also signed for Captain Jack's Treasure and River Rampage.

PS. My first 7 books are going to be republished by Comfort Publishing later in 2010
Sounds like a great idea and I am looking forward to it as my wife mentioned there is just not much for boys to read today.
