About this author

I was born in El Paso, Texas but moved to Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania when I was very young. I grew up in Pittsburgh and then went to Penn State for college. Eventually I moved to Sydney, Australia where I met my wife. A reader all my life, I began writing novels for the children's and YA markets in 2010. I'm a writer with OCD, a love of dancing and singing (but only when no one is looking or listening), a mad-skilled ping-pong player, and prefer writing at the swimming pool to writing at a table.

Suddenly, I’m on the verge of saying goodbye to my old life in the corporate world and hello to my new world as a fulltime writer. I’m 99% excited and 1% nervous, or wait…am I 99% nervous and 1% excited? I’m not sure, but that’s the beauty of it (yes, I stole that line from Arm... read more »

Oh wow, thanks for letting me know!! That's really disappointing because I LOVE the books :) I love the Eragon books too and was really disappointed by the movie :( After how well they did Lord of the Rings, I had high hopes for Eragon but I think they just rushed it and should've waited a few years until the series was finished and build up some momentum, get some really good actors and make it epic. Darn, oh well, I guess sometimes it's just better to stick with the books (Although I enjoyed Hunger Games and Harry Potter movies :) Thanks so much for responding though!!


message 166: by Alicia

Alicia Rivoli Hey David
It wouldn't let me respond to your comment about the Percy Jackson movie, but I wanted to tell you that it was terrible! I don't know of you ever saw the Eragon film, but they slaughtered it, and Percy Jackson was no different. I'm not even sure they could do a 2nd movie because of how they ended the 1st. This is just my opinion, and some people really liked them do it's a matter of your personal interests. Good luck!
