Sherlock - Prisoner 221B
Sherlock - Prisoner 221B: A detective adventure for children aged 9-12, is out now! https://www.amazon.co.uk/Sherlock-Pri... Do you ever wish that you knew a world-class hero? Do you ever fear that you know a world-class villain? Holiga Darkly knows both, but she’s not always sure which one is which… When Sherlock Holmes is found guilty, on YouTube for all the world to see, of raiding the Crown Jewels, he has to be the villain – right? And when Billionaire Bizz Kid Moriarty restores the Jewels and saves the day, he has to be the hero – right? But in a world watched over by Moriarty’s all-seeing eye, not everything is what it seems. Sometimes a dead man can win the London Marathon... Sometimes a reflection can be the face of a stranger... Sometimes a prison can be a fortress... Sometimes the cyber-hunter can become the hunted… And sometimes the greatest hero is the one you discover within yourself… #sherlock #sherlockholmes #book #fiction #detective #crime #middlegrade #childrensbooks #childrens #kids #kidsbooks #ebook #Amazon #Kindle

Seven Heavens is out!
My new chapter book for 7-10s, SEVEN HEAVENS, is out! (on Kindle at any rate) I hope you enjoy it, let me know what you think ⚡️⚡️ https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B07Y6NRL32 In an empty Hall, on a bare floor, there lies a Box. A very small Box. And on the Box is written, in several languages, the words:
DO NOT OPEN ME
What would you do?
Would you open the Box, and risk the dangers that lie within?
But perhaps it contains a marvellous treasure?
Would you walk away, and spend the rest of your life wondering:
“What was in it? Did I escape a deadly danger? Or miss out on something wonderful?”
Would you cheat? Try to work one side of the Box open, and catch a glimpse of what’s inside?
No, it’s not that kind of Box. This Box is firmly closed.
Would you ask a friend’s advice?
No. There are no friends here. This great Hall is empty. There is only you. And the Box. And the words:
DO NOT OPEN ME
So… what would you do? Seven Heavens is the first book in the Loki and Thor Saga. Hades, the High Lord of Hell, is waging a war against the Gods of the Seven Heavens, and they will have to stiffen every sinew of Godly strength, and summon every strategy of Godly wisdom, if the Seven Heavens are to be saved from Hellfire and destruction… Paperback coming soon!

Children's Ghost Stories: classic spine-chillers retold with much more
Children's Ghost Stories is a collection of classic tales by Charles Dickens and Washington Irving retold for modern readers, ghostly jokes, and excerpts from two exciting new series, GHOST RESCUE and FEAR RESCUE, for readers aged 6-9. Do you believe in ghosts? Or more to the point, do ghosts believe in you?
When you turn in your sleep, do you go creak in the night, and do the ghosts hear you?
When you snore in your darkest dreams, do the ghosts hear a mysterious monster and come gathering to see what manner of strange beast is keeping them awake?
When you break wind in your sleep, do the ghosts wrinkle their ghostly noses and declare, ‘This is a beast from the stinkiest of swamps - take care!’
When you talk in your sleep, do the ghosts ask, ‘What kind of gibberish gobbledygook is this ghoulish goblin gabbling?’
And do the ghosts gather, closer and closer, jostling to get a good look, peering into your face, poking your spots, picking your nose, lifting your eyelids in the hope, or fear, that you might wake?
Who’s more afraid? You or them? I’m just the writer of this book, so leave me out of this. Except the ghosts have asked me to ask you –
Please don’t do that thing you did last night.
You know, that thing.
Because it was horrible. Icky. Yucky. And if you do it again tonight they will take a photo and post it on Ghostagram…
Children’s Ghost Stories is a retelling of classic tales by people who were alive when they were alive, and may be ghosts now they are dead. Washington Irving is quite famous, Charles Dickens more famous still. But do their ghosts linger around the world of the living, to see how famous they are now?
Do their ghosts care how famous they are now?
Between you and me, shhhhh… I bet they do! Buy it on Kindle
