Visiting author pseudonymous bosch
Biography
Bosch had long been suspected to be the author Raphael Simon. However, this had been disputed by the author. On May 8, 2016, however, it was explicitly stated in The New York Times that Bosch is, in fact, named Simon.
The pseudonym plays off that of the artist Hieronymus Bosch.
Though Bosch, in real-life, is openly gay, he has stated that his pseudonymous form is not necessarily gay.
Writing
The Secret Series is a pentalogy of novels based on the five senses: Sight, Smell, Sound, Taste, and Touch. The narratives of the books are frequently interrupted with short side stories and "secret" information. The main characters of the series are Cassandra (nicknamed Cass), Max-Ernest and Yo-Yoji, though those are not their real names. The Series is all about one secret.
Bosch has written a sequel series titled, The Bad Books, centered around Max-Ernest's younger brother, Paul-Clay (he later drops the Paul and desires to be just called Clay) whose hobby is writing graffiti.

Standalone
Bosch published Write This Book!, a do it yourself book; he calls it "a book that readers will write for me". Bosch elaborated in an interview with Wired stating that "it is a kind of half-written, guided mystery. Parts of it are going to be multiple choice, choose-your-own adventure, parts of it will be more like Mad Libs, some silly stuff". Furthermore, Galleycat for Mediabistro.com stated that Bosch has since "inked a deal for a new middle grade trilogy".
