Video Games!

Now that my teenaged son is done with his first draft of the first ten Just Us Chickens books (remember--his chapter books on silly super chickens) plus some bonus books, he's now hard at work on a new project.  He's been learning about how to program video games.  We're wanting to include video games and card games with both my series and his, just for you.  He is working on inventing a card or board game.  It will most likely be a collectors' card kind of game that will come for free with the full edition of the first set of books.  With each set, you'll get more cards, so you can always play the characters you (or your kids) love.

He's also working on a role-playing video game for Just US Chickens.  You will be able to play adjustable versions of Impeckable, the hero who's a few feathers short of a full load, Shadow Chicken, a balloon-folding chickeny echo of a certain Dark Knight, and the heroine Death Layer, who rides around in the Invisible Something or Another (they can't tell what it is because it's invisible), uses her Lasso of Lies (a certain other weapon may be more useful but is copyrighted), and exploding eggs, as well as many more crazy characters we hope you'll love.   This game will be available with each Just Us Chickens set you buy.  It will also be sold separately.

He also plans on creating a side adventure within the Just Us Chickens video game that features my characters, the characters of Doomimals.  He'll also have a several-level retro video game wherein the main characters of Doomimals fight through several monsters using various powers.  Fight alongside Tessa, Kitt, and Davis through several of the monsters you'll read about in the series.  This, too, will come free with the purchase of the series of books.  Be watching for future news.
