3. My current work-in-progress is another contemporary middle grade, tentatively titled THE HONESTY PLEDGE, about a student who takes his school's pledge to always tell the truth a little too seriously and starts telling some uncomfortable truths.
Tom Crosshill, Author of The Cat King of Havana
1. Teenage cat video tycoon learns salsa
2. Dirty Dancing: Havana Nights meets reality. As in, the realities of Cuba and of dancing.
3. I'm working on a novel about a teenager who can do magic -- but only when he gets blindly, unreasonably angry. Which is a bit of a quandary from an anger management perspective.

This is the first I'm hearing about I Am Drums, but it sounds great and so does The Cat King of Havana! :D
ReplyDeleteThe Cat King of Havana is something different for me. I would probably pick this one up just to get out of a groove.
