Book Two releases February 2026!

Shadow Mountain Publishing


THE CURSE OF THE LOST CAVE


When a mysterious book is unearthed at a nearby archeological dig,

Raven Gallows—determined to become a famous detective—is eager

to investigate. The artifact sets Raven and her friends on a quest to

uncover the rumored hidden treasure of the legendary outlaw Alf Bolin.

As the team deciphers codes, navigates eerie caves, and battles personal fears, they discover they’re not the only ones chasing the prize. Dominion, a shadowy conglomerate with a suspicious history, is also on the hunt. Raven suspects that her mother and the elusive Dupin Society might also be investigating a deeper conspiracy tied to the corporation.

Facing rival treasure hunters, cryptic riddles, and potential betrayal, Raven must rely on her wits and courage, and her trust in her friends to stay ahead of those who might steal the treasure for their own use. Along the way, she grapples with questions of morality, the preservation of history, and the sacrifices required to pursue the truth.

When the Truth Trackers’ journey leads them to a lost cave, they must survive a final test of honor and bravery to outsmart their adversaries and recover the treasure—before it’s too late.


The Secret of Moonrise Manor

Shadow Mountain Publishing

A curious girl named Raven—think Wednesday Addams meets Sherlock Holmes

—uses her budding skills as a mortician and a scientist to investigate an old

and mysterious death at her small town’s haunted hotel.

Raven Gallows lives in a funeral home and is determined to become a famous

detective. Her first case is one close to home—find the truth surrounding her

mother’s puzzling death six years ago.

When a mummified man falls out of the wall at the Moonrise Manor Hotel,

Raven is shocked to discover the body is clutching her mother’s silver locket.

Raven gathers her friends—Cosmina Wilde, who thinks she can talk to ghosts, Miles Farnsworth, who works at the haunted hotel, and Eric Wong, who possesses unparalleled computer skills—and sets out to learn the identity of the mummy. As they follow the clues, they discover more than they bargained for, including a stash of stolen art and a legend of a secret society.

The Secret of Moonrise Manor is a story about family, friendship, and the courage it takes to pursue the truth.​​

​​Mary Anning and Paleontology for kids


Chicago Review Press


Mary Anning was only twelve years old when she excavated the skeleton of an animal never known to man. The discovery of the ichthyosaur was the dawn of a new age of science called paleontology, and Anning became one of the leading experts in the study of dinosaurs. Her discoveries helped lay the groundwork for Charles Darwin’s theory of evolution and changed the way scientists understood the past. Unfortunately, as a woman of the 1800s, her contributions were overlooked and instead credited to male naturalists who had purchased specimens from Anning.
