For as long as I can remember, I’ve always spent a huge portion of my free time daydreaming and making up stories. As a kid, I lived in my head a lot, making up adventures, and sometimes sharing my imaginary games with siblings and friends. I often kept the desire secret, because I knew that succeeding as a novelist would be a challenge, and I didn’t want people worrying about me or thinking I was crazy. If you think the books are fun, spread the word to others who might enjoy them! I’ve always secretly wanted to write books. I can’t wait to bring readers more books in the Dragonwatch series. You’ll learn a lot more about Kendra and Seth, their friends and family, and the enchanted preserves they protect, and you’ll get to experience a bunch of fun adventures.

If you enjoyed Dragonwatch and haven’t read the previous Fablehaven books, I encourage you to dive into them. I will do my best to write a new book each year until I am done. This story is the first installment of a five-book series. The idea for Dragonwatch evolved over the past few years, and it eventually became a story I had to share. I did, however, express hope I would one day create a sequel series. I finished the series by completing the fifth book in 2010, and mentioned at the back of the book that I would not write a sixth volume. In 2006, Fablehaven was my first published novel. I have pondered for years how to bring the characters of Fablehaven back to life in a new series. Why Dragonwatch? And how many books will be in this new series?
