When Aidan and Maggie find a fairy cross while rock-hunting with their grandfather, it's just an oddity. But when they discover an elf imprisoned in the stone and set him free, they and their grandparents, Nana and Beebop, are attacked by Dark Elves and forced to flee to the magical world of Celahir. In Celahir, Findecano - the elf the children freed from the fairy cross - leads them on a quest to recover gemstones stolen from the Elven Bow by the Dark Elves. Without the restoration of the gemstones to the Elven Bow, the balance between good and evil in Celahir - and the human world - could tip toward evil.

Aidan, Maggie, Nana, Beebop, and their elven friends have recovered the first two of four gemstones stolen from the Elven Bow. With the second stone - the Amethyst - protected by the Elven Scouts Alatariel and Lotheth and on its way to Keeper for safekeeping, the rest of group heads deeper into Celahir to rescue Aidan and Maggie’s father, Mike, from the clutches of the witch Maeva and to recover the third gemstone - the Emerald. After a fateful encounter at Maeva’s house, the witch turns everyone, except Aidan and Maggie, into stone statues to decorate her lawn. With the help of Dylan - a ghost boy they met in the village of Fearn - the children have to muster all of the courage and ingenuity they possess to find a way to retrieve the witch’s heart from its hiding place and trade it for their family and friend’s freedom. If they can do that, then they might be able to find the third gemstone by defeating the cockatrice...

This is a story about 7th grade Henry and his boring Halloween Night. Henry made up the word Suborediom as a combination of suburbia and boredom. This story is as boring as most of Henry's life but every so often something good happens. You can read more about Henry's life in middle school and his adventures in the alternative reality of Altara in the novel Henry on Fire by Stuart.

The Dark Elves are on the march, the barrier between the magical world of Celahir and the human world has almost vanished, and the Spider Queen is consolidating her power. Despite the fact that three of the four stolen Elven Bow gemstones have been recovered, the Light Elves are fighting a losing battle in Celahir. Nana, Beebop, Aidan, and Maggie are ignorant of these developments as Christmas break begins. However, they start seeing ravens everywhere, a dragon lands on the roof and then chases them down the road, and they are about to be incinerated when the Elven Scout Alatariel and his sisters rescue them. Escaping on the backs of the legendary Arien - giant falcons that awakened to defend Celahir - they fly off to Celahir. Things get even worse when they arrive in Celahir and have to recover the final gemstone - the Ruby - from the clutches of a lava monster, save Maggie from the evil elves Enelya and Elerosse, and restore the gemstones to the Elven Bow!

Q - What order should I read the Lily S: Teenage Detective series books in?A - The series runs in a sequence, with the second book due out this year, but the stories are complete in themselves.

But everyone who read the book before its publication loved Lily so much, in the end she took over, and they loved it even more.But Webs isn't just the first in another teenage detective series. This is Lily's life, loves, fixes and dilemmas as well as her private investigation work. Lily is real; sharp, witty, cool and vulnerable. She's potentially me at sixteen - or you; and the humour will keep you laughing even as you're desperately flipping the pages to find out what happens next.Q - Can readers collect the whole series in one go?A - Hop over to my author page here at Amazon to find out how to be the first in the know, and a full list of my available titles as I also write psychological thrillers and literary fiction under other pen names.And thanks for reading!Lily S: Teenage Detective Series eBook Categories:Want to find more of me?

Anree arrives unannounced and unexpected at Henry’s school in suburbia because Henry needs his help. Unfortunately Anree can’t keep from causing problems for Henry, beginning with a school detention he gets within minutes of arriving, but maybe he makes up for that by getting Henry a date with Jania for the school dance on Friday. Anree hides in the boy’s restroom during the next to the last class period and over hears a plot to prank Henry’s friend Fred, but doesn’t know how to stop it. Fred is pranked and walks home from school in a dress. However Fred refuses to name the bullies who pranked him and the boys have to decide how to achieve justice for Fred. Anree thinks the answer is for all the guys to wear dresses to school on Friday. Henry repeatedly says no. On the first day Henry wonders if he will survive Anree’s help, but in the end he won’t survive a life threatening accident without him.

THE teenage detective is back – and looking for trouble … Or rather trouble’s looking for her. They find each other in the series of little mysteries that start cropping up as soon as Lily’s back at school after her brush with death, and meets the new boy, Si. He’s different – like Lily is now, with her occasional narcolepsy and frequent inclination to investigate everything. But whereas Lily watches and works things out, Si blurts it all out at the wrong time and in the wrong way. He has Tourettes. He also has a way with rhymes; one in particular that increasingly makes sense to Lily as the mysteries mount up and a gang of drug pushers target the school and her friends with potentially lethal consequences. One for sorrow, two for joy … But joy is no longer a girl’s name nor the opposite of sad, and the magpies the rhyme is about are not just black and white birds that like stealing treasure. They’re far more deadly than that… Deadly intrigue with a ton of teenage humour thrown in… Magpies is the second book in the Lily S: Teenage Detective series.
