Hey everyone!
Things are really moving along with the sequel to Stanley Finnigan. My very talented artist is working on the cover and my editors are working on the draft. I plan on releasing the title of the second book on Friday, November 30th! Artwork will come shortly after, and I hope to have the book available before the holiday season!
Stay tuned for more information! And please, if you haven't checked out Stanley yet, see why it's the #7 children's science fiction novel by average review on amazon.com...and why it has 25 five-star reviews!
If you've read it, make sure YOU review it, too!

Updates
Hey everyone,
I know, I know...I haven't been posting much. I've been very busy! The Baltimore Book Festival went swimmingly...thanks to everyone who came out and got their very own copy of Stanley. If you haven't noticed, I've been getting a lot of reviews on amazon from happy customers...23 reviews, 22 of which are five stars!
I'm on a break from work now, so I'm doing as much editing on book two as possible. I'm hoping to release the title in the next few weeks and have the book out by New Year's. So be on the look-out!
On a non-book related note, since I'm on break I am looking forward to doing some pre-winter hiking. I'll be updating the blog with some 14er hikes and other hikes soon if you want to see some great Colorado pictures!
More fun stuff to come soon,
Dan

I'm back! Baltimore Book Festival, reviews
Hey everyone!
I need to do a better job of keeping up with everything! A week from tomorrow is the Baltimore Book Festival...come visit the tent and get your copy of Stanley!
Stanley hit his 13th 5-star review today, putting the book at 30th by average customer rating on amazon.com. Maybe you should read it and see if you agree! If you HAVE read it, please do me the honor of reviewing it on amazon and help get the word out about Stanley!
I start a break during October, and hope to get book two edited and ready to go to the editing team...still hoping to have it published by New Year's, but it will take a lot of hard work.
That's it for now! I can't wait to see if my turn-out at Baltimore is as awesome as it was in Denver!

Taste of Colorado...check. Next stop...
...the Baltimore Book Festival!
A Taste of Colorado was a huge success. Almost 200 happy readers walked away with Stanley Finnigan in their hands. I hope they love it!
Now the Baltimore Book Festival is just a short 17 days away. I will be there on Friday, September 28th in the author's tent for the whole day! Come by and visit, and you'll have a chance to win free signed copies! Just ask the Denver folks...you've got a great chance to win!
I look forward to visiting Baltimore again, were I lived in 2008-2010. Hopefully more readers will walk away with a copy of the book! See you there!
Then...October can't come soon enough. School has been CRAZY to start the year, and so book two (title to be announced soon) has been put on the back-burner for quite some time. I'll have to do some SERIOUS editing to get through it and have it ready by the new year, but I think it can be done! Here's hoping!
See you in Baltimore,
Dan

I'm Back!
Sort of.
It's been a while, I know. What's been going on with Dan?
Well, the new school year started. I've been busy busy busy getting my new group of students to work. They're great, though! Being a teacher can take up a lot of your normal blog time, though.
I've been getting ready for A Taste of Colorado, happening in Denver of Labor Day weekend. Come visit! Get a new copy of Stanley and meet me!
I moved into a new house recently, which is exciting. Yay washer-dryer!
I also started a blog for my class, and have been posting a lot of cool science links to it. What? You want to see them too? Well, of course you do! Check out some of this awesome NASA stuff:
Images from the Cassini Saturn Probe:

Images from the Hubble Space Telescope:

That's all for now. I've unfortunately had to put book two on the back burner for a while, but hope to jump back into editing once things calm down at work a little bit. Still ambitiously hoping to get it released by the New Year!
Oh, and east coasters can come find me on Friday, September 28th at the Baltimore Book Festival!
