Aunt Enid: Protector Extraordinaire (The Aunt Enid Mysteries, #1) (eBook, ePUB)

Beschreibung

Daemons, fairies, magic: it's all real! The Otherworld is bleeding through cracks into our world. And Adelaide is ground zero. Something is coming. Something dark - trading souls for passage. And only one person stands between The Dark and the fate of the world. Aunt Enid is just your average seventy-something year old. She loves to cook, is a regular at bingo and spends hours in her garden, talking to her army of garden gnomes and fussing over the colour of her hydrangeas... When people start disappearing, her great niece, Sally, is drawn into a secret world and soon discovers her great aunt is a Protector Extraordinaire. Aunt Enid: Protector Extraordinaire is the first book in 'The Aunt Enid Mysteries', the first series in 'The Otherworlds Chronicles'.

What readers are saying:

"Grab a cuppa and snuggle up in a cool corner of the garden and get carried away on a fun adventure! " - N.O.A Rowle

"This story is such fun!" "It kept me guessing right up to the end: who can be trusted, who will save the day, and what are those sneaky garden gnomes up to? I wish I had a Great Aunt Enid, and I'm looking forward to her next adventure." - Michelle

Autor

Karen J Carlisle is a writer and illustrator of speculative fiction - steampunk, Victorian mystery and fantasy.

She graduated in 1986, from Queensland Institute of Technology with a Bachelor of Applied Science in Optometry and lives in Adelaide with her family and the ghost of her ancient Devon Rex cat. Karen first fell in love with science fiction when she saw Doctor Who as a four-year old (she can't remember if she hid behind the couch). This was reinforced when, at the age of twelve, she saw her first Star Destroyer. She started various other long-term affairs with fantasy fiction, (tabletop) role-playing, gardening, historical re-creation and steampunk in that order.

Her first book, Doctor Jack and Other Tales, was published in 2015. She has had articles published in Australian Realms Roleplaying Magazine and Cockatrice (Arts and Sciences magazine). Her short story, An Eye for Detail, was short-listed by the Australian Literature Review in their 2013 Murder/Mystery Short Story Competition. Karen's short story, Hunted, is featured in the Trail of Tales exhibition in the Adelaide Fringe, 2016. She currently writes full-time and can often be found plotting fantastical, piratical or airship adventures.

Karen has always loved chocolate - dark preferred - and rarely refuses a cup of tea.

She is not keen on the South Australian summers.
