“Why is Switzerland in my kitchen?”
Greetings! Her name is Cookie, and she and her friends love to go on spooky, mystery-solving adventures that surround their home town of Rocky Shores
A series featuring the wackiest adventures of five rich teens whose fraternal twins Aaron and Londres get forced to run the family's multi-billion dollar cruise ship business after their parents' sudden retirement to Hawaii.
This is the first full-length chapter. More to be available by popular demand.
Three humorous glimpses into the fictional life of a young starlet.
History will fail to list the dead and the valiant as time goes on but the battles for the tumbleweed forts will live in the hearts of the desert knights 'til memories are no more.
When Joshua learns his family must once again move to a new home, he is not at all happy. Such is the lifestyle for families in which the father is a "knight of the sky" who flies the "thundering airships," but that makes it no easier for Joshua to bear. His desert home is his "mother," and he is distraught at the prospect of leaving, of having to face the fact that the "tumbleweed forts of his youth were being taken away by stepmothers of trees and forests of snow."
Joshua decides to have one last desert adventure, one last visit to the tumbleweed fort built with such care and precision by Joshua and his fellow "desert knights." Once he ventures out into the desert, however, the wind increases; he is caught in a sandstorm , and he struggles to reach his fort. Finally stumbling upon it, he gratefully crawls inside, his energy completely spent, and falls into a deep sleep. But when he awakes ... ah, then his most fantastical adventure begins.
Author Daniel Ferry has created a captivating story of a young boy's journey into another dimension. With scintillating descriptions and intriguing metaphors, Ferry paints a vivid picture of Joshua's adventure. The boy meets the ethereal Zaleen, a vision who guides him on his travels across many planes. He must evade the "Durs" ... guards whose punishment for "dimensional travel" is death to the traveler ... and battle dark knights, all the while keeping his wits about him as he learns the many lessons from the challenges Zaleen presents to him.
The satisfying and unexpected conclusion to this story is just another of Ferry's talents in weaving together the many threads of this mystical tale.
When one of the richest aristocratic teenager dies in the eyes of her friends one late night...they do what is necessary. they bury her and tell everyone she has mysteriously disappeared.

And when they thought they had covered everything up... the girl who they thought was six feet under decides to come back to town.....
(Incomplete) “Adam” is a fictional story which shadows the life of an average nine-to-five mid-twenties man. Adam is an average guy with an average job, seemingly more distressed at the prospects of running out of opportunities and running out of years than anybody around him. He has followed the unwritten schedule to date of what is expected of a person in a modern day democracy. That’s just the problem. He is another drop in the ocean never to be remembered for anything. The irony of being considered ‘broken’ for wanting to live a life beyond the norm has not averted Adam. The culmination of his feelings, or lack thereof for that matter, is released on a co-worker which starts Adam on a journey to find something in life that could actually make him feel alive. With this revelation he begins to realise just how thinly layered the expected conducts and etiquette of modern-day society are layered. Clawing his way in no particular direction he is looking for something more. He doesn’t know what. He doesn’t know where. Nonetheless it has occurred to him;
Adam cannot remember the last time he was overwhelmed…….

Readers are first introduced to a great king, the ruler of the kingdom of Carcium in the land of Phygeria. Brave and just, the king has protected Carcium from the evils of the outside world and the evils that can even lurk within the kingdom’s walls. The mystical elves tasked with overseeing the kingdom of Phygeria and its rule have been pleased, and in return they have aided in containing the darkness beyond Carcium's boundaries. But when the brave king falls, the days of peace in Carcium fall with him.
The king's young and selfish son, prince Troy, assumes the throne, and the evil that has threatened Carcium for so long moves ever closer to the kingdom's walls. Prince Troy quickly fails in the eyes of the elves, and they place Carcium in limbo. Troy is given one last chance to redeem himself and save his kingdom from an evil sorcerer who draws his life force from fallen societies. Troy -- along with a beautiful, mysterious maiden and an outcast dragon -- begins a perilous quest to find the only weapon that can destroy the looming evil and restore Carcium to its former glory.
An enthralling, richly drawn fantasy, Carcium leads its readers and its heroes though treacherous encounters and supernatural forces, to find out if Prince Troy will have the courage and strength to become the leader his kingdom so desperately needs.
