Spliced Selected for One Summer, One Book Teen Author Tour!

I’m incredibly excited and honored that Spliced has been selected as the 2020 One Summer, One Book title for Montgomery County, Pennsylvania! The original plan for this summer had me visiting libraries across Montgomery County as part of the Teen Author Tour, but due to the pandemic, most if not all of those visits will take place virtually, but they'll still be a blast!


In 2018, I had a great tim

Loved this book. Smart, hilarious, touching, fascinating, and believable, in a crazy kind of way. The only strike against it is that I have now read it.

Zoë Sharp Hi Jon

Jon I hope so, but I don't know. Depends on how Freezer Burn sells, but it can be tough getting the word out. Right now I'm working on a stand-alone thriller called DRIFT. I just finished the first draft, so I'm afraid it won't be out for a little while yet.
