Where African myth meets Victorian manners. The mission is simple: Travel to Lagos, save the Brownies, and don’t die in the process. Unfortunately for paranormal investigator Miss Beatrice Knight, her employer is a werewolf which means nothing is ever simple. Upon arrival, Miss Knight is insulted by the police, chased by a vampire, and visited by a talking chimp. Everything is going according to plan, just not her plan.

Miss Knight and the Night in Lagos is a prequel to the Society for Paranormals series, in which a paranormal detective refuses to let danger, death, and unsolicited suitors inconvenience her in colonial Kenya. Welcome to a cozy mystery series concerning Victorian etiquette, African mythology, and the search for a perfect spot of tea.

Hollywood movies were largely forbidden under Soviet oppression during her childhood, but her dad smuggled them anyway, risking his life so that his children could experience the magic and hope inherent in those stories.

She ended up in sunny California, where she is living her dream—writing stories and annoying family members.

Chelby Duncan never knew who her parents were, or why they gave her up.
Knowing when people belong together is what she’s best at doing, but her success at fixing people up isn’t exactly career-worthy. Chelby’s foster father is a retired general who is running for Senate, so joining the army is the natural direction for her to take when she turns eighteen.
At the Military Entrance Processing Station, she is given a blood test and discovers that she’s not human.
She’s Fae, and she has a second blood type that they can’t identify.
Warned to run before she is taken by Sector Nine, Chelby flees the MEPS.
Her panic leads her to an encounter with Dr. Gould, who gives her his card and tells her that the Paranormal Mercenary Corps can help her.
Chelby finds it hard to believe any of this is happening until she returns home and armed men from the mysterious Sector Nine show up to take her away.
On the run for her life, Chelby calls Dr. Gould as a last resort.
The Director of the Paranormal Military Corps takes her to their headquarters in the Colorado Mountains, where she meets other supernaturals and learns about the Fae powers that were suppressed when she was young.
Emergent powers she can’t control, a whole new world to fit into, and a mentor who’s determined to help her discover her true potential.
Between training and forging bonds with her new teammates, Chelby has her work cut out for her. It’s enough to put the threat she escaped to the back of her mind…for now.
But Sector Nine aren’t done with Chelby, and a betrayal awaits her when a training exercise goes awry.
Will Chelby overcome the heartbreak that awaits her at the secret facility? Can she master her new powers and break free of Sector Nine’s grasp before it’s too late?

What does his granddad mean when he says Brian’s father wasn’t really an accountant?

Meet P.J. Taylor
P.J. Taylor was born in Kent in 1971. He was educated at Ramsden School for Boys, where he spent pretty much most of the time playing computer games, and watching movies. In 1994 he was diagnosed with Wegner’s Granulomatosis and became seriously ill. Five years later and after various treatments he successfully went into remission. Unfortunately, in 2004 he became seriously ill again and was diagnosed with an inoperable tumour caused by the same disease. It was whilst he was in hospital, receiving treatment, that he began working on his first novel ‘Brian, his Granddad & the Cup of Ages’. P.J. Taylor currently lives in Surrey where he spends most of his time still playing computer games, watching movies and writing children’s fantasy stories.
Once upon a time, in a forest called Bright, Marily, a four-year-old girl, lived happily with her parents; a good witch called Goodypie and her husband, Mr. Goodweather.
All the creatures of the forest loved Goodypie because she could always ruin the evil potions of Meanloudmouth, a very bad witch.
One day, while Goodypie was boiling some plants and flowers in her big cooking pot, Marily noticed a little house appear in the pot. Suddenly, Marily fell into the pot and by the time she was rescued by her mother, Marily had changed into a mean-spirited and wicked person. Marily ran into the forest and away from home.
As her parents were trying desperately to find her, they discovered that their daughter had turned into the notorious Badfreaky, the meanest witch of them all, who could silence any enemy by turning them into stone.
Meet Konstantinos V. E. Adamopoulos
My name is Konstantinos Adamopoulos. I am a teacher at a Primary School in Alimos – Athens, Greece. I live here with my wife and my daughter Marily. I like sports, traveling, and fairy tales. I am now writing a fairy tale about the life of Badfreaky the witch. It is a five-book series. Why do I write these books?
Please read below:
“I remember it was Christmas when something most unexpected happened in my dream. You will of course say that this happens often in dreams, but my dream exceeded all imagination. So, in my world of dreams, an uninvited witch visited me. Yes, you have correctly guessed. It was Badfreaky!
And she said in a strict tone:
“Constantine, I am going to give you a mission. As of today even, you are going to start writing my story. It is very important to me that you write about it exactly the way I tell it to you, so children and the entire world can find out what trials I have lived through. My life was an endless adventure and I think that people have a lot to learn from it. Listen carefully to what I have to say and hold on to it. If you don’t write my story, or don’t write it exactly the way I tell it to you, then beware, you poor thing! I will turn you into a blind, deaf, and crippled centipede! Just so that you suffer the rest of your life!”
Naturally, I got very scared and the very next morning, I began writing her story with anxious excitement. Up to this moment, I must have done something right, because I am still human. If, however, on your way, you meet a centipede walking crookedly, not knowing which way it’s going, I beg you; please don’t hurt her because it might be me, transformed!”
It is 1980 and Jojo Evans is living the dream. Perfect job, perfect man, perfect life – but is it all an illusion?
Jojo doesn’t think so – she cannot believe her good fortune, working as magician’s assistant to her charismatic boyfriend, The Incredible Nico, and sharing his luxurious flat is a far cry from her life in a squat working as a street performer.
Best friend, Annie Daley, isn’t so sure. Jojo seems bewitched by this new boyfriend, and Annie doesn’t trust him.
When Jojo receives an anonymous note warning her to keep away from Nico, the friends suspect it’s from a jealous fan. But the threats that follow cannot be so easily dismissed, and Jojo fears for her life. Annie volunteers to investigate, and enters the world of the Golden Globe Theatre, where nothing is as it seems.
As tensions mount to a career-making show finale, things spiral out of control. Will Jojo and Annie see through the smoke and mirrors in time to save their lives, or is this to be their last act?
