Yes, the rumors are true...
After years of hiding, Raphael Simon has finally come out of the closet (for the second time!)~
He is Pseudonymous Bosch, the no-longer secret author of the bestselling "Secret Series" & "Bad Books", as well as the "Unbelievable Oliver" chapter book mysteries. This year, for the first time, Raphael publishes a book under his own name~ "The Anti-Book", a middle grade fantasy novel about a boy who wants the world to disappear that the NY Times sez is a "surprisingly powerful, formula-breaking coming-of-age story."
The Not-So-Secret Series is not-so-secret indeed~ Among many other honors, it was named one of the Best One Hundred Young Adult Books of All Time by Time Magazine, featured on the Today Show, & is now approaching twenty foreign language translations, selling over three million copies in the US alone. Currently, a movie based on the Secret Series is in development at Netflix.
Raphael lives with his husband, two daughters, & two dogs so expect this chat to be noisy indeed, both literally & figuratively!
