Happy to learn that EXIT 13: THE WHISPERING PINES was among the nominated titles for the Louisiana Readers’ Choice Awards, grades 3-5. For this book, I simply tried to write the most wildly entertaining story I could conjure, which isn't always my goal. I'm glad that so many readers found & enjoyed this book, beautifully illustrated by Kevin Keele.

FAN MAIL WEDNESDAY #342: A Drawing from Amber | James Preller's Blog What a nice surprise to receive a letter and a drawing from Amber in Illinois, who named Wake Me In Spring her favorite book. Illustrator Jeffrey Scherer and I published that one back in 1994 and it’s still one of my favorites, too.
