Mass Exodus - Initial Cover Sketches

Here are the first cover sketches of my upcoming young adult science fiction book, Mass Exodus. They're supposed to depict a scene from one hundred million years in the future with a fictional dinosaur from that era (there's another dinosaur age in the future in the story). Since this is young adult, the main character is seventeen years old. Anyway, I like the first version better, so I'm going with that one. More updates coming soon on both the cover art and the book itself. Stay tuned!

*Cover Reveal!* "The Groundworld Heroes" by Adrian So

Today is the official cover reveal day (okay, technically I'm a day off - it was yesterday, but still!) for Adrian So's new middle-grade book The Groundworld Heroes. Below is the beautiful cover and back-cover copy, and look for the book to officially release on April 6!!! A big congrats to Adrian So and be sure to snag yourself a copy as soon as you can!



“An original voice and a fun, funny adventure underground.” - Adam Rex, NYT Bestselling Author of THE TRUE MEANING OF SMEKDAY

When Groundworld is on the brink of extinction, it takes one mole with courage to save the day.

When Benjamin, a junior mole digger, witnesses a human invasion of his homeland, he must find his long-lost courage and unite two culturally distinct realms to fight the intruders and save his kind from extinction. What perils lie before him as he ventures into the unknown? Can Benjamin go up against a rough bunch of illegal animal trappers before it’s too late?

Meet the Groundworld heroes as they defend their country’s sovereignty and save their fellow citizens from capture and extinction.

Perfect for fans of Kate Dicamillo and Roald Dahl.

*FREE EBOOK* How We Became Intergalactic Superheroes

My children's science fiction comedy, HOW WE BECAME INTERGALACTIC SUPERHEROES, is FREE on Amazon for a limited time (5 days)! Here's a link to it on Amazon: http://tinyurl.com/58sx4vek.


All his life, twelve-year-old Ben Grishop has been practically nonexistent. Hardly anyone knows who he is, he’s not good at anything no matter how hard he tries, and he blends into all chairs and benches. But when he and his friends Joe and Dana are abducted by aliens one fateful summer night, they have the chance to become famous for saving the universe. That is, if they can survive a planet full of giant, man-eating, French-speaking crabs, a pair of tuxedoed, gibberish-spouting men with handlebar mustaches, and the mysterious “immensely powerful, evil force from The Realm Beyond.”

Jampacked with action, humor, and heart, How We Became Intergalactic Superheroes will have middle-schoolers and the young at heart alike hopping the closest spaceship to their own next cosmic adventure.
