Stories for kids and curious adults.

Fiction

My first novel was about an office worker who thinks he’s the reincarnation of Einstein. Since then I’ve been writing adventures and mysteries, including the bestselling Jack and the Geniuses series with Bill Nye, the Atlantis duology, and my latest series, Sea of Gold.

Nonfiction

Most of my nonfiction work is about science and technology, with the exception of the young readers’ editions of The Boys in the Boat and Quiet. I’m unusually excited about my new book for adults, The Heart and the Chip, written with the roboticist Daniela Rus, who leads MIT’s Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Lab.

Ghosting

As a ghostwriter and custom publisher, I’ve worked closely with the founders and executive leaders of several technology unicorns that prefer not to be known as such, and produced several very attractive custom books for private clients.
