Today I handed in my first draft & story map for an upcoming Choose-Your-Own-Adventure, tentatively titled, The Slime Machine<\/em>. I believe it\u2019s scheduled for Fall, 2027.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

You\u2019d think that writing a book would involve words, not numbers, but ho-ho-ho<\/em>. Where\u2019d you ever get that silly idea? Without a map, confusion would reign and chaos would follow.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

This is the 3rd book I\u2019ve done with the good people at Chooseco. And you\u2019d probably assume that I\u2019d know what I was doing by this point, but oh boy, not really! Every book is a puzzle and it\u2019s not uncommon for me to write myself into a corner.<\/strong><\/p>\n

It reminded me of a scene from another new book coming out in 2027 (Simon & Schuster, February), Bigfoot and Dodo: Together at Last<\/em>! At this point in the story, Dodo is tasked with painting the floor.<\/strong><\/p>\n

I\u2019ve already given a hint as to how that ends up . . .<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u2013<\/span><\/p>\n

Together at Last!<\/em> was co-written with the very funny, very supportive Audrey Vernick, and illustrated by French punk rock artist, Joelle Dreidemy. What a team!<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n
