Ghoulies and Ghosties and things that go bump in the night

Over the last few weeks my new releases have centred on ghosts. The books are all for early teenage and possibly 9 to 12 year olds.

The first book is
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?

The next two are books one and two of a series and both are set in New Zealand:


Fury's Ghost
Fury's family leave the city for a six month visit to rural New Zealand. They stay in an old house belonging to her mother's family, but who is the ghostly figure in a hidden attic room and why is Fury the only one who can see her? She learns the ghost is the spirit of the original owner who has been trapped in the room for one hundred years.
Fury promises to help the spirit lady to end her earthly existence. Problems arise when Fury delves into the past to find the answers she needs.

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.

As a special celebration of these releases
Ghost Bus: Mystery of the Phantom Bus
is available free for an unlimited time.
Jack's family has a new home, a converted bus depot. The original owners of the depot disappeared and the ghost of their last bus appears to take Jack and his sister on a journey to several different places to solve the mystery.
Available in ebook from Amazon
However some readers in some countries may find they are unable to download free from Amazon and if this is the case I suggest downloading from Prolific Works.
