New Release:
​Nik Clancy and the Scorpion

Publication date: December 1, 2023

Nik and his family have just moved to Phoenix, home to dry heat, prickly plants, and bugs straight out of nightmares. Everyone back in Greenville knew him, but only his parents and his dogs know him here.​

The house next door is barely visible, its secrets hidden by layers and layers of bamboo. Nik's curiosity grows by the minute, but he hesitates. Will he be brave enough to face what lies within?
