I am! It's called "Cryptozoology for Beginners" and it sends our main characters all over the world to rescue mythical creatures. Nearly done with the first draft, hopefully it will be out in 2019. In the meantime, look for my next novel Superkid later this year! Thanks again for your support --

Loved Sorcery for Beginners! It was so much fun to read. Look forward to a second book featuring these characters. Are you working on one?
