In things that are cool, The Shape of Monsters is up for a Speakies award next month! Am I amused that it's listed as YA? Yes, but also teens read whatever they want.

I'm Speakies Shortlisted!
I wrote the scripts for Audible's Crime Scenes, going somewhat beyond my whimsical comfort zone. It's a true crime series with lots of blood and gore and nasty people with too much time on their hands. (So expect Rudyard Ruins True Crime next year)
