Queen Calafia chronicles the journey of two tweens -- nature nerd Talia Mayfield and her scrappy nomad pal Cass Arauso -- on their harrowing quest to find the legendary warrior queen of California and restore her to the throne. While wandering the grounds of the estate of the retired anthropology professor who employs Mrs. Mayfield, Talia and Cass accidentally stumble through a doorway to a wild place that bears resemblance to their own suburban Red Oaks Valley. They keep their discovery a secret when they learn that they have ventured into another dimension entirely -- the mythic California described in the 15th century chivalric romance Las Sergas de Esplandián in which a tribe of warrior women defend the land on the backs of monstrous griffins. It may be no coincidence that the professor owns an original copy of this book. Guided by a mysterious mushroom gatherer who calls herself Amanita, the girls spend their afternoons exploring, encountering strange new plants and animals in the terrestrial paradise known as the Dodona Bosque. In this borderland between worlds, danger lurks. After Cassandra's cousin Luis is kidnapped, the girls soon find themselves in a race in and against time to prevent the Conquistador Nuño de Guzmán, a sorcerer who seeks to enslave Calafia's people and thereby change the future of California by altering its past, from gaining full power. The girls must rescue the queen from a prison made from her own dreams in an uncharted place called The Bliss Dimension ("The Bliss"). Only the professor can help them find The Bliss, and she has her own plans. As in all great quests, there is a heroic dog.

Rupert Hilden is haunted by the image of a bald man he saw through his bedroom window as a child. 24 years later he sees the same man in a distant apartment window and each time he sees the man he is closer. But Rupert is unable to convince anyone that what he is seeing is real. As Rupert investigates he uncovers several disturbing family secrets that seem to be connected. And then the murders begin... This psychological thriller horror tale will be presented in serial form over the course of 34 weeks. A readers review (electricblue85): Sean Fisher's "13 Windows" was one of the first books I completed in 2021. In short, IT BLEW MY FREAKING MIND. "13 Windows" tells the chilling, mind-boggling story of Rupert Hilden: a miserable individual haunted by the image of the bald man he saw through his bedroom window as a child. But the story is not that simple. Not. Even. Close. Things get complicated when the murders begin. I've never really been into horror / thriller literature, but this book single-handedly made me a fan! The writing style, the level of detail, the suspense, the amount of research that went into crafting the plot and stage for this dynamic masterpiece of a book is STUNNING. And Sean Fisher composed MUSIC for the book. MUSIC! I highly recommend this story to inquisitive readers who want to be simultaneously impressed and disquieted--especially those that crave a great plot twist (because wow).
