Ever since Simon Bloom defeated deadly Sirabetta, he’s been having fun with the laws of physics. Until Sirabetta sets out for revenge. Now Simon must follow her to the Order of Biology’s realm. Simon will get some wild abilities from the Book of Biology, but that might not be enough against Sirabetta. With the universe at stake, Simon struggles to master the Octopus Effect in this action-packed sequel to Simon Bloom, the Gravity Keeper.
Michael Reisman was born and raised in Fair Lawn, New Jersey, where he spent a lot of time day-dreaming in nearby woods. He can juggle and can use chopsticks with either hand, but he cannot control the universe (not for lack of trying). He's got a black belt in napping; he loves pizza, chocolate and NY egg rolls; and he enjoys writing about himself in the 3rd person.
His many jobs have included making smoothies, cashiering at a supermarket, washing tents, tutoring for the SATs, and spraying cologne (for one night-he got fired). He's also worked in the movie/ TV industry for Fox, Paramount, Tom Hanks, Nickelodeon, and Cartoon Network, and he's currently a script/ book reader for Dreamworks Animation. After all that, he's happiest sitting in cafés and thinking up strange stories.
Michael currently lives in Los Angeles and doesn't have a dog. Yet. But he has several fish who have refused to comment. He's putting the finishing touches on two new books (one sci-fi, the other urban fantasy) while his agents are seeking a publisher for the third book in his Simon Bloom series, THE ORDER OF CHAOS. You can read more about him at www.michaelreisman.com (especially when he gets around to updating the site)(should be any day now)(seriously).
