96 Facts
“96 Facts About FIFA” Featured in PW!
As you’re probably aware, the FIFA World Cup is currently taking place across the US, Mexico, and Canada. And speaking of the FIFA World Cup…
My latest “96 Facts” book, 96 Facts About FIFA, was featured in a Publishers Weekly article called “World Cup 2026: Soccer-Themed Books for Young Readers,” which you can read HERE.
96 Facts About FIFA was written by yours truly and illustrated by the incomparable Risa Rodil. It’s out now from Penguin Random House. This book is filled with fun and fantastic facts about the greatest soccer stars who’ve ever lived.
Here’s the official publisher description of 96 Facts About FIFA:
The ultimate fact book and journal about the world’s premier authority on soccer and its biggest tournaments, like the World Cup. Packed with fun facts, quick quizzes, and bonus pages for journaling, this is a must-have for anyone wanting to know more about the international governing body of soccer and some of the sport’s best players, including Lionel Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo, Kylian Mbappé, Mia Hamm, Marta Vieira da Silva, and Pelé.
The book is available HERE, HERE, HERE, and HERE.
Here’s a photo of a copy of 96 Facts About FIFA in a store window in Westchester, New York, surrounded by World Cup fringe scarves (as you can see). This pic was taken by a friend of mine, Belinda Smith Fallon. And right after snapping this photo, she bought a copy of the book, because she’s awesome! Thanks, Belinda!

“Collectors Confessions” Interview!
Recently, I appeared on the Collectors Confessions YouTube channel, where hosts Chad Farley and Brian VanNostrand interviewed me about my writing career. And the interview just went live!
During the interview, I talked about some of the “licensed character” books I’ve written over the years, like the Marvel-themed Little Golden Books I’ve written for Penguin Random House, and the Lilo & Stitch books I’ve written for Scholastic.
I also discussed my work as a comic book writer, nonfiction author, and television scriptwriter.

This book will answer all of your “Taylor and Travis”-related questions. And like most of the previous “96 Facts” books, this one was written by yours truly and illustrated by the amazing Risa Rodil.

BTW, if you’re keeping score, 96 Facts About Taylor and Travis is the THIRD book I’ve either written or co-written about Taylor Swift. The first two are 96 Facts About Taylor Swift, which I wrote solo, and Brain Games – Puzzles and Quizzes: Taylor Swift, which was a book where I was just one of the co-authors.
