I know, this might be starting to seem repetitive. Barnes & Noble has been nice enough to print exclusive collector’s editions of my last eight books.
Well, it’s happening again. B&N is printing an exclusive collector’s edition of Lion Down, the fifth book in the FunJungle series. Once again, it will have a special cover with a poster on the reverse side and 16 pages of bonus content. Although this time, the bonus content will be a little bit different, as it will include my first piece of non-fiction ever published, a true (but hopefully somewhat funny) story of my own personal encounter with a wild mountain lion. Plus some other cool stuff.

As usual, the price of the bonus edition is exactly the same as the price of the regular edition — even though you get all that extra stuff. And occasionally, the exclusive edition ships a bit earlier than the other edition. So really, if you’re going to pre-order Lion Down, there’s no reason not to pre-order the exclusive edition.

The presence or absence of any characters in future books is classified.
Can you Include some new characters in SSBI
Noah –
A little late for that ask, since the book is already written, but… Any time I write a new book, there are bound to be some new characters in it. And there are some in SSBI.
I started reading your books in 3rd grade, and now I’m in 6th!!!! And I just got my friend to start reading the SS series and she adores it. She’s read FJ series and can’t wait for the new book. Your books are amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
