I am aware that there is not a whole lot of information in that synopsis.  The reason for that is, the more you know about a book before you read it, the less fun it will be to read.  I don’t want to ruin any surprises. So if you write to me and ask for more information about what happens, in this book, I’m not going to give it to you.  I’m just going to tell you to re-read this page again.

    Well, yes, I am done with Spy School Project X. The book came out in September.

    When I say that the title is the last thing I come up with, I don’t mean that it is the very last piece of writing I do. I generally still have some minor copyediting, but the entire book is, for the most part, written by the time i come up with the title.

    I have had some animals get stolen in previous books. And if Summer gets kidnapped, that’s a really serious crime. I think Teddy might leave that to the FBI to handle.

    Not counting the several months or years I spend brainstorming the idea, it takes about 18-24 months to do all the drafts of a book.

    I have published 31 books over the past thirteen years. I can’t remember the exact order they were published in.

    Thanks for the suggestions, but I don’t come up with a title and then write a book to fit it. I write the book first, then decide on a title.
