It won't be out until 2016, but I think it's a wild one. Once again, it deals with some cutting-edge privacy and cybersecurity issues. Zoey's back, too, and she plays an even larger role in the next book. If you have any questions for me about Chris, Zoey or any of my books, I'll be here.(less)

But the real inspiration for my writing is my readers. There's nothing I like better than hearing from a reader who just had to stay up late to finish one of my books.(less)

“I want to stop becoming something & start being something.”
Reece Hirsch, The Insider

“She had not understood what he said, but she took him in with a glance that made Will feel like he had just had one of those full-body MRI scans, the kind that find more things wrong with you than you ever could have imagined.”
Reece Hirsch, The Insider

“During the years of struggling to make partner, he had sometimes entertained the comical notion that making partner would imbue him with new powers, like a budding superhero who had been bitten by a radioactive spider. It appeared that any superpowers he had gained did not include the ability to pick up women in bars.”
Reece Hirsch, The Insider
