I know you've all waited a long time for the last book. It only took six years! (I'm still ahead of George RR Martin!)

Elektra Chaos has begun!
Elizabeth was diagnosed with epilepsy at age 6. We've had a tough road,
trying different medicines, and now at age 11, we are on the last anti-seizure
drug she can take. Last year we got the seizures stopped, but then she began drastically losing weight and began failing school.
Sometimes I wonder about the world we live in and why children have to face such trying times.
Elektra
Chaos will be largely about her.
In this story, Elektra finds herself inexplicably turned from bad guy to good, and having to save the day like the hero she isn't. But she's not doing well, and each step toward helping others feels like a heavy burden on herself. She'll have to face all the things she's afraid of and figure out how to turn this bad thing she's been given into something that can actually be an instrument for good.
This story was all Elizabeth's idea and she wanted to be on the cover. We'll have a book trailer coming out on this one soon.
If you want to learn more about Elizabeth and her diagnosis, we made an educational video about getting tested for epilepsy that is used all over the world for parents whose children have to undergo everything we've already been through.

Marcus Mender is OUT!
Marcus Mender can fix anything just by holding it. But now, he can’t stop! Like King Midas and the golden touch, everything becomes new and perfect in Marcus’s hands.
Before he can control his new power, the Troubled Tweens are sent to South America on a magical mission: to recover a rare magnetized lodestone before the Loki, the magic thieves, use it for their own selfish purpose.
But the lodestone's magnetic field causes a reversal between positive and negative, turning the Loki into heroes and the Troubled Tweens into villains out to steal more power. Only Marcus's ability to fix the lodestone can save them, but with the switch of good and evil, Marcus will have to struggle to make the right choice.
See it on Amazon.
See it on Barnes and Noble.
The paperback version will be out in early December.
