James Riley

Twice Upon a Time (Aladdin)

Local novelist James Riley returns to Skylight to launch Twice Upon a Time, the sequel to his middle readers debut Half Upon a Time. Praise for Half Upon a Time: "Snappy dialogue, fast-paced action, unexpected twists, and the inevitable conflicts of a threesome made up of two teenage boys and a pretty girl make this an enjoyable read." --School Library Journal James Riley is the author of the Half Upon a Time series as well as many books too unwritten to count. He's met thousands of imaginary people, most of whom are more polite than you'd think, but less interesting than you'd hope. He doesn't believe fairy tales actually happened, mostly because he's never had tiny elves do his work for him at night, despite their promising several times.  James currently lives in Los Angeles, but it's not like he's special that way . . . so do a lot of other people. THIS EVENT WAS RECORDED LIVE AT SKYLIGHT BOOKS MAY 5, 2012.
