About the author

James Schannep has no tragic backstory.

Having grown up in a fairly ordinary suburban household, with a family who loved him, he was forced to dream up far flung adventures on strange new worlds where the hero can save the day and make a difference through strength of character alone.

Schannep attended the United States Air Force Academy, where he earned a Bachelor of Science in English Literature with a minor in General Engineering. After serving honorably as a Nuclear Missile Command and Control Officer, he returned to trying to make a difference through story.

As a screenwriter, game designer, and novelist, he is probably best known for his Click Your Poison series of interactive gamebooks.

Social Vampire is his first novel.

When not dreaming up strange new worlds, James lives in the one inhabited by his wife, who faithfully remains the patroness of his art, and with his children, who don’t quite grasp what they’ve inherited yet with such an eccentric father.

INTERESTING CONCEPT

This book didn't really work out for me... It's like attempting to put a puzzle together upside down. I guess that I'm not going to fit into the "secret agent" game?

[Wendy McCormick · Rating 2 out of 5]

This is a fun book for a 6th grader.

Absolutely fantastic with action galore. There’s no stopping until you get to the end. Love the characters and the perfect plot.
