James Dashner presents & signs Maze Runner!

Vroman's Bookstore, Friday, September 12, 2014 at 6pm

Outside the walls of “The Glade” lies an ever-changing maze. No one has ever made it out alive, and those who inhabit The Glade don’t even know how they got there. When Thomas wakes up within these walls, he has no memory of how he got in this situation or what took place before. He’s surrounded by other boys his age who all suffer from the same circumstance. Then, a girl arrives. The first to ever end up in The Glade, and the news she carries with her is nothing short of terrifying. The inhabitants of The Glade must now decide their own fate: Stay put, or encounter the maze. Read this thrilling tale before the movie comes out this Fall!

In addition to presenting & signing the MAZE RUNNER, James will also be presenting Inside the MAZE RUNNER.

Those wishing to get books signed will be asked to purchase at least one copy of the author's books from Vroman's. For each purchased copy of the newest title, customers may bring up to three copies from home to be signed. This policy applies to all Vroman's Bookstore events unless otherwise noted. Save your Vroman's receipt; it will be checked when you enter the signing line.

FICTION, FANTASY & ADVENTURE

Mac's Backs Books, Saturday, April 12, 2014 at 10:30am

Fiction, Fantasy & Adventure, Mac's Book Club for middle grade girls will discuss The Maze Runner and The Scorch Trials, the first two books in a terrific adventure series by James Dashner on Saturday, April 12th at 10:30 a.m.,

When Thomas wakes up in the lift, the only thing he can remember is his first name. His memory is blank. But he’s not alone. When the lift’s doors open, Thomas finds himself surrounded by kids who welcome him to the Glade—a large, open expanse surrounded by stone walls. Just like Thomas, the Gladers don’t know why or how they got to the Glade. All they know is that every morning the stone doors to the maze that surrounds them have opened. Every night they’ve closed tight. And every 30 days a new boy has been delivered in the lift. Thomas was expected. But the next day, a girl is sent up—the first girl to ever arrive in the Glade. And more surprising yet is the message she delivers. Thomas might be more important than he could ever guess. If only he could unlock the dark secrets buried within his mind.

Book Signing w/James Dashner

The Doylestown Bookshop, Wednesday, November 20, 2013 at 7pm

The Eye of Minds Book Signing with James Dashner Wednesday, November 20th @ 7:00 pm Delacorte Press, an imprint of Random House Children’s Books, is pleased to announce the October 8, 2013, publication of James Dashner’s The Eye of Minds, the first book in his new Mortality Doctrine series., Best known for his New York Times bestselling Maze Runner series, which has sold 2.4 million copies in all formats, Dashner has created another thrilling adventure for readers, this time entering into the world of gaming and what happens when the line between what is virtual and what is real becomes blurred. Supported by a major marketing and publicity campaign that began earlier this year and culminates in a 13-city national author tour, The Eye of Minds is poised to be one of the biggest book releases this fall. The Eye of Minds is the first book in The Mortality Doctrine, a series set in a world of hyperadvanced technology, cyberterrorists, and gaming beyond your wildest dreams . . . and your worst nightmares. Michael is a gamer. And like most gamers, he almost spends more time on the VirtNet than in the actual world. The VirtNet offers total mind and body immersion, and it’s addictive. Thanks to technology, anyone with enough money can experience fantasy worlds, risk their life without the chance of death, or just hang around with Virt-friends. And the more hacking skills you have, the more fun. Why bother following the rules when most of them are dumb, anyway? But some rules were made for a reason. Some technology is too dangerous to fool with. And recent reports claim that one gamer is going beyond what any gamer has done before: he’s holding players hostage inside the VirtNet. The effects are horrific—the hostages have all been declared brain-dead. Yet the gamer’s motives are a mystery. The government knows that to catch a hacker, you need a hacker. And they’ve been watching Michael. They want him on their team. But the risk is enormous. If he accepts their challenge, Michael will need to go off the VirtNet grid. There are back alleys and corners in the system human eyes have never seen and predators he can’t even fathom—and there’s the possibility that the line between game and reality will be blurred forever. One of the must-read authors for today’s generation of young readers, Dashner is the master of edge-of-your-seat thrillers that will keep people turning the pages until the very end. Blending fantasy and reality with horrifying results, The Eye of Minds is perfect for Dashner fans, gamers, reluctant readers, and anyone who loves a good action-packed novel. Dashner mania will continue to build with this latest release, and with the film adaptation of The Maze Runner, set for a February 2014 release from 20th Century Fox.

The Maze Runner Soon to be a major motion picture from 20th Century Fox “When the cliffhanger ending hits, readers won’t believe they have to wait to find out what happens. . . . Great action, suspense, and unexpected twists make this a terrific young adult read.”—Kansas City Star “A thoroughly unique futuristic novel . . . the story races forward at nonstop speed.”—Scripps Howard “A page-turner reminiscent of Greek mythology.”—Instructor Magazine The Scorch Trials “A nail-biting, must-read . . . we are dying for the release of book three.”—Seventeen.com “Wonderful action writing—fast-paced and mercilessly violent, but smart and well observed.”—Newsday “Intriguing and surprising . . . readers will hope they won’t have to wait long for . . . answers.”—Kirkus Review The Death Cure “Heart pounding to the very last moment.”—Kirkus Reviews “A fast-paced, intense, and emotional ending will have readers eagerly anticipating the final chapters.”—VOYA The Kill Order “For fans of the original books and of the genre as a whole, a must read.”—Kirkus Reviews « “James Dashner’s illuminating prequel will thrill fans of his Maze Runner trilogy and prove just as exciting for readers new to the series.”—Shelf Awareness, Starred “Dashner has crafted a clever prequel that will appeal to fans anxious to see where The Maze Runner came from, while enticing those unfamiliar with the later books.”—Publishers Weekly.com

About The Author

James Dashner was born and raised in Georgia, but now lives in the Rocky Mountains with his family. He has four kids, which some might think is too many but he thinks is just right. Once upon a time, James studied accounting and worked in the field of finance, but has been writing full time for several years. (He doesn’t miss numbers. At all.)From an early age, James wanted to be a writer. He read every book he could get his hands on, from Superfudge to Narnia, The Hardy Boys to Lord of the Rings. And telling stories just seemed like the right thing to do. His parents had an old typewriter and he wrote a few stories on that just for fun. All the many books he has read and all the movies and TV shows he has watched have served to inspire many of his stories. For example, The Maze Runner was heavily influenced by Ender’s Game and Lord of the Flies.Whenever James has a tough time writing, he takes a break to watch a movie or read a book, and then the ideas flow so fast he can’t get them all down. He’ll be the first to admit he’s lucky to have the greatest job ever.James Dashner is the author of the New York Times bestselling Maze Runner series, the Thirteenth Reality series, and Infinity Ring, Book 1: A Mutiny in Time. His brand-new series, The Mortality Doctrine, launches with the publication of The Eye of Minds this October. He resides in Utah with his family.
