Ep 84: D.J. MacHale

Join me as I talk to D.J. MacHale, author of dozens of middle
grade novels, including THE CURSE OF THE BOGGIN, first book in
his new series THE LIBRARY, out now! DJ also created and wrote
the Nickelodeon series ARE YOU AFRAID OF THE DARK? He talks
about writing and starring in a 90-minute original Marx Brothers
movie, outlining 10 books in a week, and taking critique from his
mother.
