The Taylor & Travis “96 Facts” Book Comes Out on April 21st!
The next “96 Facts” book will come out from Penguin Random House on Tuesday April 21st, 2025. That book is called 96 Facts About Taylor and Travis. As in, Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce. When did Taylor and Travis first meet? When did they first start dating? How did Travis propose to Taylor? Are there references to Travis in Taylor’s song lyrics? 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.
Here’s the official publisher description of 96 Facts About Taylor and Travis:
The ultimate fact book and journal for fans of Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce. Packed with fun facts, quick quizzes, and bonus pages for journaling, this is a must-have for anyone wanting to know more about their favorite it couple.

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.

“96 Facts About the G.O.A.T. Athletes” Comes Out On Tuesday!
As you may know from some of my previous blog posts, for a little over two years now, I’ve been writing a series of middle-grade celebrity biographies called the “96 Facts” series for Penguin Random House. The first eight “96 Facts” books are all already available. And the ninth “96 Facts” book will come out on Tuesday April 8th, 2025. That book is called 96 Facts About the G.O.A.T. Athletes. And just to prevent any potential misunderstanding, “G.O.A.T.” means “Greatest of All Time.” This book is about the greatest athletes who’ve ever existed. (Well, SOME of them, anyway.) For instance, there are sections in the book about LeBron James, Shohei Ohtani, Travis Kelce, Megan Rapinoe, Serena Williams, and many, many more.
But this book is NOT about athletes who happen to be goats. As in, the farm animal. I’m sure that somewhere out there, there’s a book about sporty, athletic goats with cute little horns and a goatherd who serves as their coach. And I’m sure that book is adorable. But my book is not that book. My book is about legendary (human) athletes who’ve achieved excellence in their chosen sport. And in my book, there isn’t a goatherd in sight. (At least, I don’t think so.)
Also, like all of the previous “96 Facts” books, this one is illustrated by the super-talented Risa Rodil.

And now, if you’ll excuse me, I’m gonna go flesh out this really great idea I just came up with for a children’s book about a bunch of athletically-gifted goats and their tough but kindhearted coach/goatherd.
