Can I ask a favor? On December 15th, a 6 book graphic novel series I wrote called Crimes in Time will debut from ABDO's Magic Wagon imprint. In addition to being available for individual purchase, these books are designed for library distribution. So, the favor... If you don't mind, please let your local public, middle school, and high school library know that these books are coming soon and that you'd love to see them stocked in the library. I'd love to see these books spread far and wide. I'm quite proud of them.
