about me

I am a sixth-grade English teacher in Westport, Connecticut and the Director of Summer Writing Programs at Choate Rosemary Hall in Wallingford, Connecticut. This is my first novel for young adults; actually, it's my first novel, period. I'd appreciate any feedback you can give!

I am currently working on "Private Conversation," a sequel to "Dark Island" featuring Zach, one of the book's main characters. He has returned home from his summer adventures only to find that one of his classmates, Hannah, has disappeared soon after meeting a perfect guy on a social networking site. As Zach and his friends dig deeper, though, they realize that Hannah may have been hiding some serious secrets from them—and that, in order to find her, they will have to break those secrets wide open. If you'd like to read the beginning of "Private Conversation" (pre-10,000 words), you can click here:

David, I enjoyed this, and I think that your target audience will, too. I especially liked the dialogue -- it's well written and believable. Backed with pleasure! -Ben ("Dark Island") view book

J & M, I'm not a "fantasy" buff, but I'm in love with what you've done so far. Actually, I'm more of a science fiction fan, and I felt the same excitement in the pit of my stomach here that I feel when watching "The X-Files" or "The Twilight Zone" -- and that's a compliment!

Almuth, Someone below wrote "quirky," and I agree completely -- but "quirky" in a good way (like XTC or the films of the Coen Bros.)! You've done something really original here, and I will definitely come back for more. Shelved with pleasure! Best, -Ben view book

Haggies, I really like what you've done here, especially the dialog. As a fellow (aspiring) Y.A. author and teacher, I'm always looking for books that both I and my students will like. I think I've found one! Shelved with pleasure. Best, -Ben ("Dark Island") view book
