“THIS SERIES WILL LEAVE YOU GASPING FOR AIR… RUNNING FOR COVER… AND TERRIFIED OF WHAT A SINGLE TOUCH CAN DO.”

Three years into a terrifying global pandemic known as the Flense, a stranger appears for the first time on the doorstep of a remote survival bunker spouting impossible claims of a cure. Do the bunker’s inhabitants take a chance and let him in? A single touch is all it takes to spread the disease.

And infection is a fate far worse than death.

One survivor, 18 year-old Finnian Bolles, volunteers to go out and help find the cure. But when disagreement splinters the group, violence quickly follows. Soon, the horrifying truth begins to emerge about the mysterious origins of the Flense and why it was unleashed upon the world. And someone among them will do anything to keep those secrets from getting out.

Even if it means letting the Flense in.

Family wields the greatest magic.

A missing father. A mother bewitched. Wilhelmina must use her unpredictable magic to catch whoever—or whatever—is stalking her parents. Will her powers be enough to restore her family?

When Wilhelmina accidentally sets her remedial magic class on fire, she is sent to live in the ordinary world with a mother she barely knows. Her adjustment gets off to a very rocky start. She has sudden, unexplainable bursts of magic—mostly while navigating the middle-school minefield—and her mother’s behaving like she’s under some spell. Despite her handicapped magic, Wilhelmina vows to get to the bottom of it all—even if she could vanish without a trace just like her father.

“Wilhelmina Quigley: Magic School Dropout” is a fish-out-of-water story with touches of mystery, fantasy, and humor. A witty tale of enchantment.
