Gabriel writes stories, develops creative content for award-winning children's products, and pretends to be other people in front of cameras.
IN PROGRESS
Gabriel is currently working on a number of projects, including his first novel for young readers, a children's book about monsters, and a short story featuring a renegade pomegranate tree, which Aimee Bender thinks is an excellent idea (she told him so via email and he hasn't stopped bragging about it since).

Working on a story about a dead mom and a glass house and a housecat in a pine tree. So…that’s happening.

The Yiddish Policemen’s Onion
Just finished the new LiTBLURB video. I’ll post it here when it’s actually the morning and not just the technically-past-midnight kind of morning.
Why does my face look like that? Well, a certain author hurts my feelings, and here’s a hint: her name rhymes with Pootie Gloom.
