New Series for Reluctant Boy Readers!

'The hardest thing about skateboarding is consistency: The slightest flick of your foot or gust of wind can send your board flying, so it's really anybody's game out there.'

--Shaun White

I'm currently preparing the character profiles and chapter outlines for Book Two in a new middle grade skateboarding adventure series conceived primarily for reluctant boy readers. Book One is complete and with my agent as I get started on the sequel. Main character, Eddie Castro, is a troubled youth trying to gain a foothold on the rough and tumble streets of Flatbush. Veteran Brooklyn cop, Sam Toomey, has Eddie on his radar. But can he save the boy before drugs and street crime take him down? That's the gist, and without doubt it'll be a challenge matching the pace I set for readers in Book One. If you're a fan of the tension in runaway novels (and films) like 'The Taking of Pelham 123,' you'll enjoy 'Ripper's Tomb: The Adventures of Eddie Castro, Book One,' and 'Concrete Canyons: The Adventures of Eddie Castro, Book Two.' Both titles coming soon!
