DOWNFALL out now!

[Marc J Gregson @MJG_Write]

DOWNFALL is now available, and the Above the Black trilogy is complete!

I first dreamed up the Skylands eleven years ago, and I hoped that one day I could turn it into a series. I cannot tell you how incredible it is knowing I am now an author of a trilogy.

BEHIND THE GLASS is available for request on Netgalley and Edelweiss!

School's out and now I'm transitioning to full-time author. Last week was a big week with the new trilogy announcement and cover reveal for BTG.

This week will be exciting because I'll be at Indiana Comic Con!

@XboxKaneda When I saw it as a teen, I was too scared to laugh at those scene. But I watched it last night and realized the show has a great mix of humor!

The movie Signs is so good. I just showed it to my oldest and saw it for the first time in years.

I genuinely love the movie.

My next trilogy is Publisher’s Marketplace official!

I am writing a prequel series to the Above the Black trilogy. Thank you to my publisher, @peachtreeteen for continuing to believe in me and my universe and to my amazing editor, Jonah Heller. I'm living the dream!

Today is the last day of school and my last day in the classroom for the foreseeable future.

I turn in my keys today and say goodbye to my students and colleagues.

[Marc J Gregson @MJG_Write]

It's officially the last week of school, and I just saw a hall monitor racing down the hallway on a tricycle while a group of boys laughed.

The official Barnes & Noble account followed me on Instagram today. 😀

[Marc J Gregson @MJG_Write]

Just had a sweet moment at B&N where a young girl was nervous about meeting me, and her dad was encouraging her several feet away until she bravely stepped up to talk to me and get a copy of DOWNFALL signed.

[Marc J Gregson @MJG_Write]

Today, I'll be signing books at Barnes & Noble Fort Union in Midvale, Utah from 1pm to 4pm. Drop on by!

@HollyBell8 After I shelved my fifth book, my wife asked me if I would keep writing even if I never got published. I told her I would write for my entire life no matter what because it makes me happy.

[Marc J Gregson @MJG_Write]

That feeling when you complete a 25-year dream to get published, become a NYT bestseller, write a trilogy, announce a movie with Antoine Fuqua, read the screenplay (5x now, it's awesome), and you're living something that you thought would only happen in your wildest daydreams.

@AllTooWellRead Hope they enjoy it! 🔥
