Great Site for All Things Spooky

D. M. Cunningham is a writer and blogger, and his extraordinary taste is on display at his blog http://literaryasylum.blogspot.com/

He interviews writers and artists about all things monsters and genre fiction: two of my favorite subjects in the world. Plus he has these amazing photos of Halloweens past on his most recent post. Totally just put me in the mood for fall.

If you're looking for other books like mine, he's got lots of recommendations... so head on over there and follow him... He's also on twitter. Very cool! You won't be sorry!

The Busiest Year Yet

Hi there,

So this is being a writer... I've got a book out there in the world, another coming out in August, and three due to the publisher before the end of the year. I've been working full-time at Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center in New York City for the past almost ten years, while trying to have some semblance of a social life.

I must say, it's all very exciting, but MAN it's hard...

But I'm not complaining! I'm so grateful to have been given the opportunity to be this busy.

What makes it worth it:

• getting letters from readers telling me how much they've enjoyed my books and how they can't wait for the next one.
• seeing the work out there in stores and on shelves.
• watching work take on life all around the globe.
• visiting with readers at schools and libraries and answering amazing questions.

Just a tease: I haven't officially announced my next project, but I'm having a lot of fun working on it. New books are coming out next year. I'll be sure to tell you all about them when I'm allowed to.

Hope your summer is not as sticky as mine, or if it is, that at least you have a nice fan. I do.

Cheers,
Dan

June is News

Long time no speak...!

That's because I've been busy writing... Just not on here...

I'm so psyched about visiting PS 107, in Brooklyn this Friday. I'm going to read a little, and talk a little, and share some very new, very secret writings... Ooh yeah!

Anyway, my Sprummer is going well so far. (That's Spring/ Summer... sort of like how brunch is breakfast/ lunch.) Hope yours is too!

If you're in Poland, or if you read Polish, you must be excited that the Polish edition of The Stone Child is coming out this month. I cannot wait to get my copy... The publisher changed the title to Key to the Underworld and also gave the book a different cover. The new title makes sense, if you've read the book... don't you think? But I'm still partial to The Stone Child... ;^)
