First came Here, There and Everywhere...Memoirs of an Air Hostess. Now i give you Here, There and Everywhere Else; for stories I had to leave out in the first book. Some are from my flying days, during my 11 and a half years as a Flight Attendant; others come later, proving that there is travel life after a flying career. The first book was published by Ginninderra Press in Adelaide about four years ago. I hope this one will take off too.

When Ollie and Scarlett McKenzie are offered the chance to travel to the mighty Amazon jungle to investigate the mystery of disappearing Indian natives they jump at the chance...but can the fabled man-eating monster, the Mapinguari really be at the heart of the disappearances and does Montezuma's legendary lost city of Para Kiti really exist? With their father Gordon, they enlist the help of an eccentric Chinese cryptozoologist and an Amazon Indian native and embark on what appears to be a routine mission - but it's a mission that rapidly spirals into danger as the team face the ruthless drug baron Don Ortega, who will go to any lengths to protect his illegal gold mine. Lost and wounded in the jungle, Ollie and Scarlett must learn to work together and trust the skills of a Native called Nyeti if they have any chance of getting out of the Amazon alive.

Theo Ferguson's life was turned upside down the day he stumbled upon an ancient diary hidden in his attic, one that belonged to the mysterious W.J. Ratchfield. The diary tells of an artifact with the power to make wishes come true-the Shard of Noracta, a legendary object lost deep within the Amazon rainforest. Theo believes the Shard holds the key to finding his father, who vanished on an expedition years ago. Armed with little more than the diary, a few supplies, and a fierce determination, Theo sets out on a secretive and dangerous quest that will take him from the quiet streets of New Jersey to the heart of the Amazon jungle. Along the way, he faces unsettling doubts, encounters unlikely allies, and must learn to navigate a world far more perilous than he ever imagined. As Theo uncovers more about the Shard's mysterious power, he is pulled deeper into a web of danger and secrets-ones that others would kill to possess. In this thrilling debut of The Adventures of Theo Ferguson, Theo will have to trust his instincts, find his courage, and push himself to the limit in a race against time. Will he uncover the truth about the Shard, or will it remain lost forever?

Thornhill is just a quiet lay-by off a winding country road, big enough for an oversized camper and little more. The kind of place where you might stop for a moment's rest and admire the view. But something about this place lingers-something hard to name. Perhaps it's the gnarled tree, casting its long shadow over the spot. A sense of quiet that feels deeper than the peaceful surroundings suggest. You don't know why, but it feels like a place where people have always stopped. A brief pause on a long journey, in a place where time has a way of standing still.

Episode 1: The Case of the Missing Shells (complete) February, 1942. The Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor has drawn the United States into World War Two. Democracy and freedom hang in the balance as the Allies struggle to halt the Japanese advance across the Pacific. In Los Angeles, master sleuth Doctor Fung and his sidekick Dan Barrister are asked to investigate an apparent case of sabotage at an ammunition factory. It seems simple - almost too simple to be worth the time of such legendary detectives. But Dan and the Doctor soon discover a much larger and more sinister criminal scheme is in play... Episode 2: The Case of the Missing Spy (complete) March 1942. Doctor Fung and Dan Barrister are summoned to a mysterious meeting in New York City, and travel across the USA on a luxurious train. They hope for an uneventful journey, but the forces of evil never rest. An FBI agent seeks the help of Dan and the Doctor in catching a suspected German spy. But perhaps the agent - and the spy - are not who they seem. And who - or what - lurks in the room next to Dan and the Doctor, casting fear into the hearts of any who dare approach? The Case of the Missing Submariners (complete) (This isn't part of the main arc, and so can be read independently.) November 1927. Dan Barrister's father tells Dan how he met Doctor Fung on board a German submarine in the final days of World War One. Doctor Fung and Dan Barrister are part of the Fox Universe, a shared setting created by Jason Greenfield and based on comic books published in the 1930s and 1940s by Fox Features Syndicate. The cover illustration is by Ram Wilson, with colour additions by Rusty Gilligan.

There are more cat fights, vandalism, especially by the Spite Club Girls, grafitti and bad behaviour in general, particularly emanating from the Dark Park High School or the Tavern on a Saturday night. Dark Park should always be approached with caution, especially at night as there are one or two people you may not want to run into after dark. You'll meet some familiar characters, plus some fascinating new ones.

☆ AVAILABLE FROM AMAZON ☆ ↳ DETAILS ON MY AUTHOR'S WEBSITE [ 𝙖 𝙨𝙩𝙖𝙣𝙙-𝙖𝙡𝙤𝙣𝙚 𝙖𝙘𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣 𝙩𝙝𝙧𝙞𝙡𝙡𝙚𝙧 𝙛𝙚𝙖𝙩𝙪𝙧𝙚𝙙 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙡𝙡𝙖 ] ❝ Some pasts are better left buried. ❞ ▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ The only thing that lazy liberal arts graduate Maya García can find any purpose in, is video games and her part time position at the Mexican Society of Archaeology. Since she was born, she has had the strange ability to sense buried things. Cursed to, she would say. From lost keys buried by overexcited dogs to dinosaur bones from the Jurassic period, Maya can find anything, anytime. An abrupt invitation to a potential site near Aztec ruins then pulls Maya to Isla Cozumel, just off of the coast of the mainland. But there's something off about the eerie vegetation and crumbled temples. Something sinister, festering and impatient. The ancient warning texts are enough to unnerve her. Worse, the jade snake that haunts her dreams has begun to leak into the real world. For the first time, Maya has found something that she shouldn't have. [ WORD COUNT : ~ 21 000 ] ▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Where mysterious magic waits for a curse to awaken, 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘔𝘶𝘮𝘮𝘺 meets 𝘛𝘰𝘮𝘣 𝘙𝘢𝘪𝘥𝘦𝘳. ____________________________________ Copyright © 2020 Stacey Willis, Ear to the Serpent.
