Have you ever had a bad hair day? I don’t mean a regular day when your hair won’t do what you want, like it won’t easily be tamed into a ponytail. I don’t even mean a day when you can’t get a comb through your hair. I have lots of days like that. Have you ever had a bad hair day that left you baffled, befuddled, and bewildered? A bad hair day when your hair is so wild that animals decide to live in it? I had such a day. Read about it and learn from my mistake.

Once upon a time I visited Fairy-land and spent a day in Goblin-town. The people there are much like ourselves, only they are very, very small and roguish. They play pranks on one another and have great fun. They are good natured and jolly, and rarely get angry. But if one does get angry, he quickly recovers his good nature and joins again in the sport.

Being swept away to a wealthy grandparent’s mansion in the English countryside could be the adventure of a lifetime—or a fatal run-in with dark family secrets.Sixteen-year-old Lizzie Lowe is a spirited girl from the wrong side of Santa Monica Boulevard. Her life is upended when a millionaire grandfather she's never heard of shows up. What’s more, he wants Lizzie's bone marrow for her secret twin sister in England. Her dad loathes the grim old who stole one of his daughters, but Lizzie jumps at the chance to help the sibling she’s always wanted. The sisters’ reunion is heartfelt, but Grandfather's Gothic mansion is far from welcoming. Everything about Blackweald Hall—from the gun room packed with animal-head trophies to the polite-yet-sinister housekeeper—gives Lizzie the creeps. And when Lizzie unearths a letter that implicates multiple suspects in her mother’s murder, and then discovers that grandpa axed the police investigation, she has no idea whom to trust.After her sister is rushed to the hospital, Lizzie turns to Teddy, her sister’s gorgeous but cocky friend from prep-school. Goaded by Teddy’s aloofness, Lizzie lashes out, revealing her self-doubts and her suspicions about her family. Teddy admits his own insecurities and vows to help Lizzie. Their attraction flares as they race to unravel her family mystery. But everyone at Blackweald Hall is hiding something, and digging up old secrets may provoke a desperate murderer to kill again.THE SECRETS THAT DIVIDE US is a 65,000-word YA mystery with romantic elements. A modern reimagining of Gothic classics like JANE EYRE, my story will also appeal to fans of April Henry's THE GIRL I USED TO BE and Maureen Johnson's TRULY DEVIOUS.

Excerpt from Peeps at Many Lands: ScotlandA little boy was once asked to write an essay on Scotland, and he began by saying Scotland is the smallest half of England. I Should not wonder if this sentence lost a mark for him, yet I think we can all understand what he meant by it.He knew that England and Scotland are parts of the same island, and that nowadays they form one Kingdom, inhabited by the same people, who Speak the same language, have the same Parliament, and obey the same King; and that, when we cross the Border and go from Scotland into England, or from England into Scotland, we do not need to get out of the train and have our boxes opened and searched for certain things that are not allowed to be carried from one country to another unless a tax is paid on them, as is done when travellers go from France into Germany, or from Italy into France.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
