Thanks for your comment, Melanie! I do indeed have other stories for the Professor (and Peter) in mind ... the tricky part is finding time to actually write them!

Children's literature has been one of the constants in my life. My wife is a Victorian Children's Literature scholar, and pretty much all we ever do is talk about kid's books. Post all of your questions about favorites, influences, and what makes a classic here, and please share the books that have touched you the most!

PETER NIMBLE AND HIS FANTASTIC EYES is my debut novel, published on August 1 (Amulet Books). Ask all of your questions about Peter Nimble, Sir Tode, and the Vanished Kingdom here!

Thanks for joining the group, and I'm excited to talk to you all and hear your questions. Feel free to start posting your questions, and I'll be back to answer them starting August 14. Until then, you can introduce yourself here and share something fun about yourself: favorite children's book or author, your dream sidekick, the worst joke you've heard lately, and so on... looking forward to it!
