“This is an amazing story of love, pain and God’s unknown help. We all learn the truth eventually; he never left us nor does he ever forget us. My main love of this book is how Andrea has written God into a normal life walking among humans.” Beth’s Wild and Crazy Book Reviews Maintaining a resilient spirit through several losses, Electa loses all hope when a minor accident ends both a promising career in The Performing Arts and a promise of marriage. As bitterness grows, she begins to believe God has left her by the wayside of life. But this could not be further from the truth. For God, always desiring the best for Electa, had the perfect place already prepared where she could realize and possess even more than what she wanted. Though the reality was yet a mystery, it would unfold at one particular Inn. Her curiosity initially stirred by the Innkeeper’s unusual offer to accommodate complete strangers at no cost, what Electa would discover was a phenomenon, making all the difference in the world she knew, and making up the differences in her. What if there really is life beyond this world in either heaven or hell, as God says. Wouldn’t you want to know the way to heaven; and wouldn’t you want God to do whatever it takes to prevent you from making the greatest mistake of your life. This is Electa’s story. How she stumbled upon the truth and came out of the darkness. Hopefully, the reader will find some comic relief in what is a life and death matter. God does have a sense of humor.

'This story is full of adventure and heart! A real page turner!' Dani Harmer 'Warm, funny, pacy, endlessly inventive and life-affirming; there are lots of young readers who will identify with Rory' Chris Beckett, Arthur C. Clarke-Award winner Eleven-year-old Rory Hobble has it tough: he gets upsetting thoughts all the time and they won't go away – 'Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD)', the head doctors call it. His mum hasn't been very well for a long while either. Perhaps it's his fault... Maybe that's why she doesn't always feed him; maybe that's why she screams at him. At least Rory has his telescope – gazing at the unchanging stars keeps him calm. But, one night, Rory sees something impossible in the sky: mysterious lights – artificial and definitely not of earthly origin. When his mum is abducted by the shadowy Whiffetsnatcher, Rory – accompanied by his space-faring, care-experienced social worker, Limmy – travels beyond the Earth, chasing those mysterious lights to the frozen ends of the Solar System. Along the way he must outwit a breakaway human civilisation living on a Martian moon; survive the threat of otherworldly monsters; and learn to speak to alien whales. But his greatest challenge left Earth with him and it will take all the courage he has not only to overcome his OCD, but to decide whether he wants to rescue an abusive mother if he gets his chance...

Augie Hobble lives in a fairy tale—or at least Fairy Tale Place, the down-on-its-luck amusement park managed by his father. Yet his life is turning into a nightmare: he's failed creative arts and has to take summer school, the girl he has a crush on won't acknowledge him, and Hogg Wills and the school bullies won't leave him alone. Worse, a succession of mysterious, possibly paranormal, events have him convinced that he's turning into a werewolf. At least Augie has his notebook and his best friend Britt to confide in—until the unthinkable happens and Augie's life is turned upside down, and those mysterious, possibly paranormal, events take on a different meaning.
