I’m excited to announce the arrival of Tech Tales, a brand new series of short stories for middle grade readers available exclusively as digital downloads.

Written for Reluctant Readers, Designed for Teachers

Reluctant readers will enjoy the Tech Tales’ short length, brief chapters and high interest topics told with fast action, spooky mysteries and gadgety weirdness.

Teachers, librarians and home schoolers will love the easy DRM-Free license that comes with each story that allows unlimited:

  • sharing of digital files with colleagues or students
  • printing for in-class group reading or offline reading
  • access to unique Teacher’s Guide with questions and activities individually tailored for each story

Get Unplugged and New Stories Every Month

Unplugged, the first Tech Tale story, is available now and more stories will be arriving monthly.

Learn more about Tech Tales and watch out for a new story each month!
