Cryptid Hunter’s #3. Jack’s 6th Birthday. I,Q2 Update. 56

This entry was posted in Family IQ Book Two: The White House Writing on by

This post is a little of everything.

We’re on our way up to the Seattle area this morning to celebrate Jack’s (grandson #3) birthday. We got him a pair of nice binoculars (all 6 year olds should have good pair of binoculars). Quit trip. We’ll be back tomorrow with Jack and his younger brother, Ethan, in tow, and their new puppy Peaches, for
a few days at the farm.

Last night I finished my re-read of Cryptid Hunters and Tentacles. It took longer than I thought it would (as it always does), but it yielded 10 pages if notes for the 3rd and 4th books in the series. I’m just about ready to start the draft, which I’m pretty excited about. If I can squeeze in even half of what I want to in the next installment it will be one heck of a book.

Finally, yesterday I got a copy of I,Q2 sent by overnight mail. It’s not officially out yet, but the fact that I have one in hand means you’ll be able to read it too in a matter of days. Stay tuned. I will announce the real publication date as soon as I’ve verified that it’s readily available in bookstores across the country.

    Can’t wait till the IQ2 comes out. Just finished Cryptid Hunters and LOVED IT!!! I couldn’t put it down. Unfortunately, I left Tentacles locked up at school. May have to make a trip to Barnes and Noble to buy an extra copy. If you come back to Bentonville anytime soon, give a shout.

    My 10 year old daughter has begun each day since school ended with the same question: “Is the next IQ book out yet?” We are poised to launch to the bookstore as soon as we hear word. I won’t see her for a day as she sequesters herself to read…

    I absolutely love the Cryptid Hunters series and was wondering if they are purely fictional or possibly bassed on actual people or events?

  • Andrew

    Man the Cryptid Hunters series is soo awesome!!! I liked the fact that in book 2 you let Marty’s friend Luther join the crew. I hope in book 3 they will be getting into a lot of trouble together 😀

    I gave my 12-year-old nephew 3 great novels for Christmas this year:
    Boyce’s Cosmic, Korman’s Swindled, & your Cryptid Hunters. His favorite: Cryptid Hunters, and he wrote me a Just So story about how the Thylacines became extinct to thank me (Killer line: Artemis was not about to be bested by a striped demi-god with a marsupial pouch.) Thanks so much for the great books, & I hope that #3 at least is out in time for his birthday.

    Dear Mr.Smith-
    Even though I am trying to restrain myself, I must admit I am quite excited for the the third installment in th cryptid hunters series. I have been waiting for quite a while- since I graduated from 5th or 4th grade a few years ago. As you may be expecting, I felt I had to ask when it is coming out. I don’t particularly expect a reply, as l assume you are very busy writing your books. I am not going to write and say that I am your biggest fan– other people have already taken care of that. Just want to get some information, and thank you in advance-

    Miles D.
