| the last book before the most recent book | THE ESCAPE ARTISTS
The Escape Artists, a cool book about people who reject the life of a 9-5er to pursue their passions, was published by McGraw-Hill in May. It's gotten good press in New York Newsday and Time Magazine. (Read a great review in The Library Journal!) It looks at the lives of a minor-league ball player, a DEA agent, a circus clown, a Trekkie, and many more.You can read a chapter (PDF) or buy it! Press release. |
I've also just written a novel called BELOW GRADE. Here's a synopsis: When a high school senior and an undercover FBI agent are killed in a shootout during a bad drug deal, the young man's friend and their elite private school are dragged into a complex mystery involving an aggressive reporter, the fine art of subway graffiti, and pharmaceutical grade Quaaludes. WORST-CASE SERIES (click to shop at Amazon)
Based on both pop-culture and my own vast stores of paranoia, the advice in the books, while real, is filled with wit and wry humor. In fact, the advice comes not from me but from hundreds of experts whom I seek out and interview. While the scenarios themselves often seem outlandish (“how to cross a piranha-infested river”, “how to survive a stadium riot”) the advice is accurate, and offers readers their best chance of survival. The Worst-Case Scenario books have appeared on numerous best-seller lists, including The New York Times, The Los Angeles Times, The Washington Post, and The Times of London. They have been translated into 24 languages. WCS HISTORY is the latest.
In 2000, I co-created and produced an original, hour-long prime time television series, based on his books, for Columbia Tri-Star Television. 22 episodes of “Worst-Case Scenario” can currently be seen in re-runs on Showtime Saudi Arabia.
Now considered an expert on a broad range of survival topics, I have appeared on The Today Show, 20/20, and Montel Williams, as well as on local news broadcasts in virtually every major media market in North America, and many foreign countries.
With more than 7 million copies in print since November 1999, the Worst-Case Scenario book series is the fastest-selling how-to book series in the history of publishing. The Worst-Case Scenario Survival Handbook, the first book in the series, recently had its 24th printing. Merchandise based on the series includes desktop calendars, note cards, holiday cards, board and video games, a survival journal, an address book, and T-shirts.
