I'm the author of a bunch of children's books and Young Adult novels, including three off-beat almancs: ALMANAC OF THE GROSS, DISGUSTING & TOTALLY REPULSIVE; THE VERY SCARY ALMANAC; and ALMANAC OF ALIEN ENCOUNTERS (published by Random House). Maybe you've read 'em? I also wrote three X-FILES novels (HarperCollins) and two books of scary short stories, THREE MINUTE THRILLERS and MORE THREE MINUTE THRILLERS (Lowell House). My newest book, THE DEVIL YOU KNOW, a YA horror novel, will be published later this year.
In the movie biz my screenplay, CLASS ACT (co-written with Neal Shusterman) is in development at Walden Media, starring Halle Berry, with Doug Atchison set to direct. It's the true story of an elementary school teacher who ran for Congress -- with her sixth-grade students running her campaign! I've also written scripts and developed projects for Universal, Sony, Disney and Dreamworks.
