My other website is live! Check it out at RobertLiparulo.com.

While you’re there, signed the guestbook to win signed and personalized copies of my books, and signed books Ted Dekker, Tosca Lee, Steven James, Eric Wilson, and others. Five winners a week! Winners will be drawn from guestbook entries every Monday in March. If you win, I’ll contact you via email. Tell your friends!

(Find the guestbook on the THRILLERS side of the website. That’s the part that’s newly redesigned. The YA side links back to this site, DreamhouseKings.com.)

There’s always something happening over on my Facebook page−such as the latest news, Q&A sessions, giveaways (signed books and more). Click on the picture of the house on the left. That’ll take you to my Facebook page, then click the “Like” button by my name. See you there!

UPDATE: The unabridged audio versions of ALL the Dreamhouse Kings books are now available. They are available as downloads through Audible, and on CDs through Amazon and CBD.

Joshua Swanson does a wonderful job reading them. Check out the video of his recording Gatekeepers on the audiobooks page.

Three critics (yeek!) at Fiction Addict—Jake Chism, Lori Twichell, and Josh Olds—sat down and talked about the Dreamhouse Kings for an hour. Seems like they discussed everything, from the covers to the characters, their favorite worlds to time travel. (You’ll never guess who their favorite character is!)

Spoiler alert! Don’t listen to this audio recording unless you’ve read all the books through Frenzy! Really!

The publishing house Edebé, based in Barcelona, has just licensed the Spanish-language rights to the Dreamhouse Kings (for worldwide distribution). I believe they start shipping in the fall.

We just blasted out the latest newsletter, packed with Frenzy and Dreamhouse Kings goodies: news, contest information, new ways to contact me and stay in touch. Click here to see it.

If you didn’t receive it via email, you’re either not on my mailing list (fix that by clicking here) or your email program thought it was junk (make sure <robert@liparulo.com> is in your email address book). You can find most of the newsletter tidbits here on the website, but the newsletter is a nice index of everything in one place and keeps you up-to-date on the latest happenings.

On May 27, I talked to the students at Margarita Middle School in Temecula, Calif., about the Dreamhouse Kings and my career as a writer. These 6th, 7th, and 8th graders are exceptionally bright (as their challenging questions about the story showed) and very polite. My thanks to Bridget McDermott, who arranged the trip and hosted my visit.

Valley News ran an article about my visit. You can see it here.

Frenzy, the sixth and final book in the Dreamhouse Kings series officially released May 18…and we’re having a party for it Saturday, May 22nd (2pm-4pm).

Bring your books to have them signed. You can purchase them at the party or order them from the store (719-266-1600) and have them waiting there for pick-up.

It’s going to be loads of fun, with food, drinks, door prizes, and a lot more.

Hope to see you there!

Before its release, Frenzy reached #1 on BarnesandNoble.com’s bestselling teen pre-orders. And since hitting stores, it has consistently place in the Top 50 Teen Adventure and Thriller Books at Amazon.com. Brick-and-mortar stores are also reporting brisk sales. Thank you, readers!

While the details are still under wraps, I can report that a movie version of the Dreamhouse Kings is building steam in Hollywood. One of the producers and screenwriter is Eric Garcia, whose latest silver screen credit was as the screenwriter of Repo Men, staring Jude Law and Forest Whitaker. He also wrote the book on which Matchstick Men, staring Nicolas Cage, was based. Eric really “gets” the story and has big ideas for getting all the action, suspense, and characters of the story into the movie. Nothing in Hollywood is a sure bet until you’re actually watching it in the theater, but I’m hopeful.

June 1, 2010, update: Just returned from Hollywood, where I met with Eric and the producers. Everything is still on track. Hoping to get some kinks worked out soon, so we can take it to the level.
