The Monster Princess #2

D.J. MacHale — Thu, 29 Jul 2010 17:27:16 +0000

Now that I’ve finished the latest touch-up to Morpheus Road #2, it’s time to clear my head and work on something completely different…which is to write the second Monster Princess book. It’s weird going from writing about horror and strife, to getting all fun and bubbly. On the other hand, it’s good to change gears and think in a different direction. It keeps things fresh…and interesting.

And it’s perfect timing since The Monster Princess #1 is going to be published in a few weeks. There won’t be an extensive tour, I’ll just be going to semi-local spots (Meaning: drivable) for readings and storytime. These will be WAY different than Morpheus Road/Pendragon events in that the readers will all be under 8 years old! Talk about thinking in a different direction! I’m looking forward to it.

Back from vacation.

D.J. MacHale — Wed, 21 Jul 2010 21:35:31 +0000

Just got back yesterday from two weeks in Italy with family and friends. It was great. Want to see my vacation photos? (Just kidding.) I’m now back to work and doing some touch-ups to the latest draft of Morpheus Road: The Black and getting ready for the publication of my picture book: The Monster Princess.

If anybody is going to Comic Con in San Diego, I’ll be there on Sunday.

New Pendragon Covers 6-10

Just saw that covers 6-10 are out. Man, they look great! It’s kind of weird to see covers other than the originals, but I like ‘em!

Getting out of Trouble Town

D.J. MacHale — Fri, 02 Jul 2010 22:29:07 +0000

Just turned in the latest draft of Morpheus Road: The Black. Yeah! Ready for a little down-time.

Next month The Monster Princess publishes. I know that most of you readers won’t be running out to get that because it’s a picture book, but if you know of some little ones…

We’ll be posting a book trailer on the site in a few weeks.

School’s (almost) out for summer!

D.J. MacHale — Mon, 21 Jun 2010 16:18:31 +0000

Hope all you students had a great year. Parents too. And everybody else for that matter.

I’m psyched for summer, myself. My little girl is finishing first grade and we’re going to be doing a lot of traveling. (Because I just didn’t get enough of it on my book tour. Yeesh) The most exciting trip will be to Italy for two weeks. (Let the pasta-load begin) I plan on taking lots of books . . . it’s a long plane ride.

What’s on your reading list for this summer? (Don’t feel compelled to say my books because I’m sure if you’re reading this you’ve read them all already, right? RIGHT?)

A good friend of mine has a new band and they’re now recording their first EP. It should be out in August. I think they’re great. Check them out at: http://www.myspace.com/fairlenemusic

My friend is Johnny Pacar. You may know him from Flight 29 Down, among many other shows and movies. He’s now on the show “Make It Or Break It”.
