Thomas Hoobler has written nearly 100 books with his wife Dorothy, and some more by himself. The Hooblers are the co-authors of the Samurai Detective Series, which tells the adventures of a boy in 18th century Japan who helps his samurai father solve mysteries. The third book in the series, IN DARKNESS, DEATH, won an Edgar as the Best YA mystery of 2004. The Washington Post also chose the book as one of the Best Children's books of that year.

Just saw my first exclusively e-book, "Be Careful What You Witch For," up for sale on the Barnes & Noble website for its e-book reader, Nook. The wonderful cover that my daughter designed looks great!

Thomas and 1 other person liked Kristi Housman Confessions of a YA Reader's review of Be Careful What You Witch for: "Thank you netgalley for the opportunity to read this book. This was a fun, easy read. The main character, Olivia, has movie star parents, but chooses to go stay with her aunt in New York instead of going away to a place where she can ski and have fun."
