When Eric Gusset hugged goodbye to Gutsy, his one-eared Jack Russell, and trudged off to Tootingsbottom General Hospital to get his ears unclogged, it was just as well he'd no idea what was coming next. Because not only did he come away fixed up with grommets, but with a whole new identity.Turns out he's a witch. Not a wizard or a warlock or even a werewolf but a soppy, sissy, girlified witch! Worse, a numbing 24 hours has seen him landed with Agnes, a swotty twin sister, Hal, a garlic-crunching, vinegar-swilling Familiar and another batty auntie to go with the one he's already got.But, shortly after arriving at Druid's Lodge, the newly-acquainted twins are called upon to undertake an undercover-underground-underhand mission to undermine the dastardly Colossogigans who are poised to take over the parallel worlds.With the aid of Dan and Druff, the cat astrologers, Gunkun, the zoomorph in charge of the small slimies at the Invertebrates Breeding Centre, Artus Pledge, Chief Scrutineer of Unnatural Occurrences at the Top Notch Nocturn and the Lads at the Lavvy, Eric and Agnes embark on a risky plan to rescue their universe...

Charlotte Williamson Thorpe—Wim—comes from a long line of sea captains based out of Provincetown, Massachusetts. Since her best friend died the summer before, all Wim wants is to be left alone, to finish her senior year in peace and spend time with her dogs and the horses at Dune Stables. But soon people start entering Wim’s life as if com- ing in on the tide. First she sees the man with the tattooed face. He seems to be trying to tell her something. Next Aunt Kia arrives. Then there’s David Te Makara, a compelling visitor from New Zealand who has moved into the cottage behind her house to research her family history. He has his fifteen-year-old niece with him, and Wim can’t help but react to Tangi’s strong opinions. Soon Wim’s quiet and safe routine is turned upside down, spilling out secrets too painful to face and too important to ignore. One of the mysteries is an antique journal, written in code by a boy who knew her most famous ancestor, Captain Charles Williamson Thorpe, who sailed away to New Zealand on a merchant vessel and returned to the Cape on a ship laden with secrets. It will take every ounce of Wim’s courage to sift through the secrets and open her heart to love again.

M. Taylor Armstrong-Brown. It's a good name for a journalist. When Taylor moves to the remote town of Hunter's Gap from Philadelphia, she copes by being an impartial observer. She plans on biding her time until she can escape to prep school and college. But, unexpectedly, Taylor finds herself rescuing an orphaned baby hawk and getting to know a boy she'd never imagined being friends with. When she meets the woman who runs the nearby raptor rehabilitation center, Taylor's journalistic reserve begins to break down. As the hawk heals and grows stronger, Taylor is drawn closer to the boy she'd considered a redneck - and to the passionate "Hawk Lady," whose many secrets awaken deeper emotions in Taylor than she understands. Words begin flowing from her pen, but they are not the objective notes of a news reporter. They are the stirrings of a heart taking wing.
