Ghoulies and Ghosties and things that go bump in the night
Over the last few weeks of 2018 my
new releases have centred on ghosts.
The books are all for early teenage and possibly 9 to 12 year olds.
Spirit Stealer: Ghosts in the Library
In 1908, Fader, a street urchin, takes shelter in the newly opened library to escape the cold winter. Months pass and the book characters emerge as playful phantoms in the nighttime library – all except for the green Spirit Stealer. This evil phantom steals the spirits of children who are accidentally locked in the library at night. Fader has to dodge the Spirit Stealer or his spirit will be taken.
A century later, Tyler is trapped by accident and tries to help a wraith called Amelia who still has half her spirit. Will they succeed in getting rid of the Spirit Stealer? If they do what will happen to the girl with half a spirit?

Fury's Island
On holiday in Nelson, New Zealand, Fury meets Eion who offers to teach her to paddle board.
Immediately attracted to him, she agrees.
After basic instruction, he takes her out to Skull Island,
a creepy looking rock some distance from the beach.
No one has ever discovered a way up to the caves
which look like eyes, but Fury finds a secret
entrance and convinces Eion they should investigate. Their excitement rises as they discover tunnels
and caves hidden beneath the ground, but neither is prepared for the arrival of ghostly pirates bringing
their treasure chests to bury in one
of the underground caves.
