PETE HAUTMAN writes novels for both adults and teens. His poker-themed crime novels Drawing Dead and The Mortal Nuts were selected as New York Times Book Review Notable Books. He won Minnesota Book Awards for Mrs. Million, Sweetblood, and Godless—which also won the 2004 National Book Award for Young People’s Literature. His most recent novel, Invisible, is about model railroads, pyromania, friendship, and window-peeping. Upcoming titles include The Prop (a novel about a professional poker player), Rash (a young-adult novel about the USA circa 2074 A.D.), and Snatched (a middle grade mystery novel, written with Mary Logue). Hautman lives with novelist and poet Mary Logue in Golden Valley, Minnesota, and Stockholm, Wisconsin.
