If you like oddball characters, and quirky riddles, and off the wall adventures into unknown and unexpected places, there’s something for you. If you like classic whodunits and murder mysteries, then there’s something for you. If you like books that have magic in it, and that are set in a fantastical Victorian setting, then there’s something for you. Shawn: It has something in it for just about everyone (bet you never heard that one before). Then again, it would also be pretty nifty to be able to fly! How fantastic would that be?ĮJ: Tell us why readers will enjoy your new release. That’s a bit out there, I know, and it might not even be supernatural, but it sounds cool to me.

Shawn: I had a fantastic English teacher my freshman and sophomore year in high school who I looked up to immensely.
