Roland Smith here, checking in on this fabulous board for the first time! I'm the author of the Storm Runners series, TENTACLES, and many other novels. I've been lurking on this board for months and I can't tell you how pleased I am to step out from the shadows and introduce myself.
As you know Peter Lerangis's new book THE DEAD OF NIGHT will be out March 6th. I can hardly wait to get his book into my hands! I won't be writing on that day, I'll be reading Peter's book! And speaking of THE DEAD OF NIGHT, I'm thrilled to reveal the title and cover of my contribution to 39 Clues. It's called SHATTERPROOF and will be out on September 4th.

In this book, the Cahills are hunting for and being hunted by the Vespers in five different countries and it's not going well for them - the hostages are in serious peril, and Erasmus is . . . We'll, I've said enough.
But I'm curious. What do you think happens to the beleaguered Cahills in THE DEAD OF NIGHT and SHATTERPROOF? I'll be monitoring your responses from my secret Madrigal hideout somewhere in Oregon. I'm looking forward to hearing what you have to say.
Best,
Roland Smith

I wasn't able to access the 39 Clues board the past few days. No doubt the Vespers are messing with me again, but I'm used to that. Anyway, I'm back on 'board' and I've read all of your wonderful guesses about what you think is going to happen in SHATTERPROOF. Some of your guesses are close, but you are in for some surprises in September. I'm guess that most of you, if not all of you, have read Peter's Lerangis's fabulous THE DEAD OF NIGHT. Let's keep the dialog going. Let me know what you think and what you're reading while you wait for SHATTERPROOF.

You got a few points wrong.
1) The cover color for Shatterproof is blue.
2) The title for Book 5 is "Recovering Confidence".
3) The title for Book 6 is "The Mastermind Revealed".

Ronald Smith: I have a question. It is:
If you ever write another book for 39 clues, can you include one of us?
That is it for now. The reason why I ask that, is, because I am on this website being Bella Starling, the Starling's lost little sister, and I've been wondering this FOREVER!

I think we will get a suspect list for vesper 3 in the cards. I think Dan will tell Amy about their father still being alive
I wonder if your favorite colors reflect you attitude

SPOILER ALERT! DO NOT READ IF YOU HAVE NOT READ THE DEAD OF NIGHT
K, in the dead of night it is sooo sad when Mr. McIntire dies. I'm also so psyched to see if AJT is really Arthur Josiah Trent or if he is just an impostor. I'm sort of hoping he is a faker because it would be so sad that he has kept away from Amy and Dan for all these years. But if he knew about 'moonface' then he either really has a lot of information at his fingertips (just like a Vesper would) or IS really their dad.
