Readers of his action-thrillers were not surprised when his visual storytelling style caught the eye of Hollywood producers. Currently, all three of his novels for adults are in various stages of development for the big screen: the film rights to Comes a Horseman were purchased by the producer of Tom Clancy’s movies; and Liparulo is penning the screenplays for Germ and Deadfall for two top producers. He is also working with the director Andrew Davis (The Fugitive, Holes) on a political thriller. Novelist Michael Palmer calls Deadfall “a brilliantly crafted thriller.” Liparulo’s young adult series, Dreamhouse Kings, debuted in May 2008, with House of Dark Shadows and Watcher in the Woods. The third installment, Gatekeepers, was just released. March 2009 will see the publication of Deadfall’s follow-up Deadlock. He lives with his family in Monument.
