Murder, Magic, Mystery, & Myth. Welcome to Pumpkintown. Contains the entire Pumpkintown Perils trilogy (Volumes 1-3) in a convenient series box set! Pumpkintown Perils Volume 1: Terrible Trolls, Naughty Gnomes, & Homicidal Humans Living near a village of gnomes in the enchanted forest called Jagged Wood, Wanda Tempest owns a magic supply shop, practices witchcraft, drinks hard liquor, and does her best to keep peace with the local two-thousand pound Wood Trolls. She also happens to be a promising, if only part-time, Private Investigator. She’s talented, attractive, and has earned the respect and admiration of the equally talented, though far less striking, Pumpkintown Police Inspector Sam Shamrock, a tobacco-tainted, lascivious, and loud-mouthed leprechaun. Sam's crazy about Wanda… she’s crazy about her cat-food-hating whiskered companion, Jinxy. Join this formidable, if mismatched, crime-solving duo, as they tackle mysteries ranging from the suspiciously scandalous to the supernaturally strange. Tormented talking trees, naughty gnomes, terrible trolls, and homicidal humans will keep Wanda and Sam fighting for justice, and their very lives. Pumpkintown Perils Volume 2: Vicious Vampires, Poison Pumpkins, & Wicked Werewolves Vampires in Pumpkintown? Nobody has seen any of the damn bloodsuckers around for nearly a hundred years. But when a gorgeous gnome girl is found dead in a ditch near Nightshade Lake with vampire wounds deep in her neck, Wanda and Sam must discover the truth. It's also time for Pumpkintown's world-famous annual Pumpkin Festival but this year the food has been poisoned and there's also an anonymous assassin determined to kill every last leprechaun alive. As if all that wasn't enough, a mysterious white werewolf was seen stalking the Jagged Wood outside of Wanda's window while the local Wood Trolls are marching for war. There's a big bad moon rising over Pumpkintown and it's up to Wanda, Sam, Amber, Alice, and Jinxy to save the day. Pumpkintown Perils Volume 3: Grungy Goblins, Godlike Giants, & Magic Mushrooms The magical misadventures of wild witch Wanda Tempest and her younger twin sisters along with the legendary leprechaun Pumpkintown Police Inspector Sam Shamrock continue in the third volume of madhouse mysteries. Tenacious trolls, godlike giants, talking trees, and grungy goblins will keep Wanda and her team of crossbow-carrying gnomes busy from dusk until dawn. Volume 3 focuses on the suspenseful story of the wicked Wood Giant Brownbeard and Wanda's midnight to morning journey through the enchanted and jeopardous Jagged Wood. As always, Aunt Hazel and Jinxy make appearances to keep the fun times flowing. New magic, new enemies, and a new exciting experience in the world of Pumpkintown await!

THE IMPORTANT THINGS is the tale of Christopher, who lives with his mother. Christopher's mother does everything, as his father has faded from their lives. When they give away a box of his father's old things, a series of events takes place that reveal the different ways in which Christopher and his mother deal with the absent father. Peter Carnavas always been fascinated by the stories behind things, the reasons particular things are important to us. An old typewriter might not work anymore but it may have once belonged to a favourite author, or was passed down through generations in the family. The importance of things, and why they are important, is what led me to write this story. It's about remembering. It's about parents. It's about absence. It's about the joy of understanding between a mother and a son. And, most importantly, it's about slippers.
