Mike and Kate Tackle Football!

That’s right, Kate and Mike will always love baseball–they’ve spent 23 books chasing baseball mysteries–but now they’ve got something new to solve–a FOOTBALL MYSTERY!

In The Two-Minute Warning, Mike and Kate travel to Texas to take in a Dallas Cowboys game. But someone is out to get Carlos, their star quarterback! Can the cousins find out who before it’s too late and Carlos and the Cowboys lose the big game?

The Two-Minute Warning is available in paperback, hardcover, ebook, and audiobook versions! Purchase it from your favorite local bookstore or online retailers today!

The Football Fumble

My 4th book this year (and there’s still one more to go!) goes on sale today. The FOOTBALL FUMBLE is the third book in my new MVP sports series of chapter books, great for boys and girls in grades 2, 3, and 4 who love sports and action.

The MVP chapter book series is about a group of kids at an elementary school who play different sports and have mysteries and adventures. If you like the BALLPARK MYSTERIES, you’ll like my MVP series! THE FOOTBALL FUMBLE is a perfect book for fall, with lots of football and even an ice cream cone to the face for one of the characters! Don’t worry–there are plenty more BALLPARK MYSTERIES books on the way, but it’s been a real change and lots of fun writing about other sports (track and field, soccer, football, and basketball) for the MVP series. If you know a reader in grades 2, 3, or 4 that likes sports, action, mystery, or adventure, consider THE FOOTBALL FUMBLE or one of the other MVP books!

The cover, which is great, features Max, the book’s main character, who has to also confront a bully before his team has a chance to win the big football game. Another amazing cover by Scott Brundage, who did a great job capturing Max’s dilemma and showing all the exciting on-field football action. I’m thrilled that Random House Children’s Books is behind the MVP sports series and can’t wait for next year’s basketball-themed release! More sports chapter books on the way.
