To all old and new readers, welcome to my website. I want to thank you all for the support you've given me and hope that books will continue to entertain. You are the only reason why I write and why I maintain this website. So keep those cards and letters coming. For better or worse, I answer all my own mail, so don't be shy. Write to me about anything. I know what I'm up to, but I don't know about what you're doing unless you tell me.

Spring is in the air and for me, that means Passover ivacation for my daughter, Aliza. She's now in tenth grade and a fabulous writer. Expect to hear big things from her in the future. And while Aliza is definitely not Hannah Decker, she and her friends are my inspiration for teenaged girls. How else would I know about U tube or My Space. She's got her permit and I'll be teaching her to drive very soon. Lucky for us that we leave for school very early in the morning. Most of the roads are empty. Every time I teach a child to drive, I give my right foot a cramp by slamming into an imaginary brake on the passenger's side of the car. My middle daughter, Ilana, used to tell me that even after she got her license, she'd hear my voice saying...braaaaaake in her head whenever she had to stop at a light. One more to go. Wish me luck.

On the professional side, I've been hard at work, doing final editing for THE MERCEDES COFFIN due out in August of 08. It's a twisted tale revolving around the unsolved death of a beloved teacher. It also focuses on what some people will do for a chance to be famous. Peter and Rina are at their best, as are Decker's team of crack Homicide detectives. Marge Dunn and Scott Oliver. Of course, help always comes from many different sources including the newly minted detective, Cindy Decker Kutiel.

THE BURNT HOUSE paperback is due to come out in July of 08. I love the cover. It's got a glistening three dimensional effect that I find very sensual and tactile. Kudos to the Art Department at Morrow and at Harper.

Finally, I'm busy with my newest book tentatively titled BLINDMAN'S BLUFF which will feature my series characters, Peter Decker and Rina Lazarus. We're aiming for BB to come out next year, hopefully in August, in time for vacations that involve long plane rides or endless hours sitting on the beach.

Right now, Jonathan Kellerman's #1 NYT Bestseller, COMPULSION, is out in stores. Thanks to all of you who have made it a stunning success and to those of you who haven't bought it or reserved it at the library, well, what are you waiting for?


Jesse Kellerman's newest novel, THE GENIUS, has just come out as well. I kid him and say it's a self-titled autobiography, but in truth, it's a brilliant, riveting literary thriller that spans past as well as present, rich as well as poor, and sane as well insane, while exploring the ultra hip New York art scene. Go out and get it today.

Thanks for dropping by and for all the support.
