Welcome

Hey there!

I'm so glad that you stopped by my new blog. My first middle-grade novel, The Neptune Project, is available now from Disney/Hyperion. I'm thrilled that it is also published as The Neptune Conspiracy by Puffin UK. I'm also delighted to announce that Disney Hyperion will be releasing my sequel, The Neptune Challenge, in April 2015.

If you like stories about dolphins, sharks, loyal friends and nonstop adventure, The Neptune Project is the book for you!

Nere has never understood why she is so much more comfortable and confident in the water than on land until the day she learns the shocking truth—she is one of a group of kids who have been genetically altered to survive in the ocean. These products of the "Neptune Project" are supposed to build a better future under the waves, safe from the terrible famines and wars and that rock the surface world.

But there are some big challenges ahead of her: no one ever asked Nere if she wanted to be part of a science experiment; the other Neptune kids aren't exactly the friendliest bunch, and in order to reach the safe haven of the new Neptune colony, Nere and her companions must swim across hundreds of miles of dangerous ocean, relying on their wits, their loyal dolphins and one another to evade terrifying undersea creatures and a government that will stop at nothing to capture the Neptune kids ... dead or alive.

Fierce battles and daring escapes abound as Nere and her friends race to safety in this action-packed marine adventure.
