My most recent book is The Witches of Dredmoore Hollow (Marshall Cavendish, ages 9 and up), but I've written a couple dozen others in past years under a different name. In addition to writing kids' books, I run a videogame studio in the Seattle area.

Here's the Booklist review of The Witches of Dredmoore Hollow:

This magical tall tale, set in 1927, follows 11-year-old Elijah through action-packed adventures with crazed teenage witches, vindictive plants, and mean aunties. After Elijah's aunts Serena and Agnes arrive uninvited at the family home in Dredmoore Hollow, his parents suddenly disappear. A letter from his mother informs Elijah that he is to follow his aunts to their home in Moaning Marsh, where they run a very suspect beauty salon called the Magic Snippers. After narrowly escaping a treatment to cure the "marsh rash" the aunts insist he has contracted, Elijah realizes that his aunts are witches who will stop at nothing to reverse a curse. Luckily, a plucky young lady emerges to help Elijah escape from his predicament. Although a little slow to start, this humorous tale builds to a wonderfully creepy finale. Lemony Snicket and younger Harry Potter fans will enjoy the twists, turns, and tone of this debut novel.
