An Update from "One Thing at a Time Steve"
May 31, 2016
Did I mention I have a new book out? No? Well, I do! Nick and Tesla's Solar-Powered Showdown came out a few weeks ago. It's the sixth installment in the middle-grade mystery series I do with "Science Bob" Pflugfelder, and School Library Journal says it has "just the right amount of suspense, action and science to entice a wide array of readers."
Did I also mention that I have another new book out? No? Well, I do! The Wrong Wrights came out a few weeks ago. It's the first installment in the middle-grade science/adventure series I do with "Co-Writin' Chris" Kientz and "Illustrated Artistic-Lee" Nielsen, and School Library Journal says it's "a fun and action-packed exploration of aviation."
Did I also mention that I don't have another new book out? No? Well, I don't! Give the Devil His Due didn't come out a few weeks ago (though it was originally scheduled to). It's the third installment in the tarot-themed mystery series I do with "Just Lisa, Please" Falco, and School Library Journal has nothing to say about it -- but my editor's been saying "Where the hell is it, Hockensmith?"
Did I also mention that multitasking isn't one of my strong suits? No? Well, it's not! I had three projects to write last year, and only two of them got done.
Did I also mention that Give the Devil His Due is finally finished? No? Well, how could I have? I just finished it!
Did I also mention that I'm very, very tired and I'm going to bed? No? Well, I am! Good night!
Love the names, Mr. "Hammerin'" Steve Hockensmith—it's like reading Stan's Soapbox in the classic Marvel Comics. Excelsior!

If I'm going to be writing "Stan's Soapbox," then I need to get in some digs at the Distinguished Competition. Only I don't know who that is for me. Every other fiction writer on Earth? Seems like a lot of folks to have a friendly rivalry with. But O.K. -- let's rumble!
Umm...except now I don't know what to say. I've never been any good at trash talking. Maybe that's why I was a DC guy when I was a kid.
