The Well Kept Secret is the story of Haley Stuart. While she and her hilarious twin brother Nelson are vacationing in England, Haley becomes fascinated by a mysterious protrusion at the bottom of an ancient well. Overcome with an unexplainable feeling of nostalgia and belonging, and before Nelson can react, through time and space Haley swan dives down the well and into a compelling adventure that puts into play an enormous medieval treasure, a dangerous stalker, the possibility of her first romance, and what may be a prophecy of unspeakable importance. The ancient book she finds at the bottom of the well begins to reveal to Haley and Nelson, as the one sleepless night of this novel grows long, some very curious and hauntingly familiar characters. And as their mysterious godfather, Professor Flanagan O’Shea, continues to translate the book for them throughout the night, it begins to appear that he may hold some enormously influential position in the United States government. The interplay between the twins and their new medieval friends from a thousand years in the past begin to suggest a possible solution to the murderous threat they are surrounded by as they try to finish the cryptic book by dawn. Haley herself evolves and careens toward a history-altering climax that may save the entire world, in every way. The Well Kept Secret is the first in the Secret Textbook Series.

The Better Kept Secret is the story of Haley Stuart. As the novel opens, Haley is collapsed in exhaustion from the previous sleepless night, sleeping off the powerful all-night reading marathon in which Haley had been confronted with the alarming certainty that she was destined to somehow, someday, save the world. After sleeping all day long, Haley wakes abruptly to the realization that all day long she has experienced the wildest and most shattering dream of her life. Because she is unshakably convinced that the dream somehow prescribes exactly how she is supposed to go about culminating the prophesy, she sets an epic and supremely dangerous plan into motion. Utilizing all her persuasive charm and stretching her credibility dangerously thin, Haley convinces her godfather to secretly commandeer an experimental prototype space shuttle so she can carry out the mandate of her bizarre dream. To the disbelief of those around her, Haley instructs that the prototype craft drop, culture by culture, into every single country in world history in order to retrieve a part of an ancient puzzle that when completed may well usher in an entirely new age of man. This chronological romp through human history is the only way to escape their pursuers, to secure a treasure of enormous value, to locate all of Haley’s long-lost childhood friends, and to bring us all to a place where a new age of mankind may well be at hand. The Better Kept Secret is the second in the Secret Textbook Series.
