On March 7th, “How to Outsmart a Billion Robot Bees,” the second volume of my Genius Factor series, is released. I’m quite pleased by the fantastic reception I’ve gotten for the first volume, and am looking forward to having the second one out there, going on tour, etc. If you haven’t seen the books, yet, give ‘em a read!

Today is Friday the 13th, and that means it’s time to nab a copy of How to Capture an Invisible Cat, my critically acclaimed roller-coaster of an adventure starring Delphine Cooper and Nate Bannister, a boy genius SO smart that... in order to keep things lively... he does three incredibly NOT smart things every Friday the 13th, in order to challenge himself with the fallout. This time, he’s turned Proton, his mother’s cat, into a HUGE invisible monster. Dealing with this one’s going to be a bit difficult, especially when the nefarious Red Death Tea Society chooses this time to strike!

Continuing my tributes to great scientists and adventurers, as a way of celebrating the March 1st release of my Genius Factor novels from Bloomsbury. The first volume is titled “How To Capture An Invisible Cat,”the story of Nate Bannister, a sixth grade genius who is SO intelligent that... every Friday the 13th, as a way of keeping his mind challenged... he schedules himself to do three crazy / not-so-smart things. This time he’s super-enlarged Proton, his family cat, and also turned him invisible. To make matters worse, the “experiment” has been corrupted by the evil Red Death Tea Society, an organization of genius-assassins with a penchant for fine teas. The novels are seen through the eyes of Delphine Cooper, Nate’s 6th classmate, and a bit of a reckless adventuress / trouble-maker.

This post is a tribute to Rosalind Franklin, who... along with a number of other achievements... was instrumental in the discovery of the “double helix” of DNA. MUCH of what we know about how human beings are actually made is directly due to Franklin’s works.
