You may have noticed our website was under maintenance for the past few months. We were unfortunately dealing with some backend issues. (Quite boring if you are not into that sorta thing, if you are I’m sure you probably know more than I do about it.)
The good news is the site is back up and running again!
Thanks for your patience and as always HAPPY LISTENING!

The thrilling climax of the international bestselling MY TEACHER series finds Peter Thompson, Susan Simmons, and Duncan Dougal reunited as they face the challenge of a lifetime: How to convince the Galactic Council not to destroy our planet. The kids have one month to save the world. As an introduction to their task, their alien guardians, Broxholm and Kreeblim, lead them on a tour of Earth like no other – a no-holds-barred look at both our glories and our horrors.
Versions of this (“Why haven’t you . . .?” “Did you ever . . . ?”) are hands down the most common questions that pop up on our Facebook page these days. As to the why haven’t we, the answer is simple, and sad. We ran out of money. The 2008 economic meltdown, plus a back-stabbing by a corporate partner, hit FCA really hard. But, as I like to say, we ain’t dead yet! Tammy and I have talked many times about trying to do these. And, yes, we have discussed doing a Kickstarter if we ever do decide to tackle them. However the barrier isn’t only financial. Inertia is a factor as well. Getting projects this big into motion would take a huge amount of effort, since I no longer have a full support team in place, and we would have to gather an enormous team of actors. So for now I’m sticking to shorter projects with smaller cast. Even so, I haven’t given up on the idea of returning to the Circle World!

NOTE: Paste part of it here and the rest below the “MORE” tag.
Susan Simmons is upset to learn that her favorite teacher, Ms. Schwartz, has left school with no warning. Things get even worse when she meets their new teacher, the stricter-than-strict Mr. Smith. Soon sixth grade is going bad faster than a dead fish on a hot day.
Then Susan discovers Mr. Smith’s fantastic secret: he’s really a disguised alien planning to kidnap some of her classmates.
To unmask the extraterrestrial in their midst, Susan enlists the help of Peter, the class brain. Duncan, the class bully, insists on helping too. But what can three kids do against such a powerful creature?
