My Dad, the Private Eye
The Falling Star
​
“A great and humorous kids/young teen story with plenty of twists and tension.” Entrada Publishing
15-year-old Krista Winnette worries about her dad, Drew. After all, he just lost his job, and Krista’s mom just left him. Now all Drew has is a dwindling bank account, a ten-year-old car and a musty motel room he can barely afford. So he does what every unemployed man must do in this desperate situation: He becomes a private eye.
Drew knows nothing about being a private eye, but how hard could it be? As he says in his Facebook ad: “You ever wondered how a private eye finds a missing person? Or trails a cheating husband? So have I! So hire me, and I’ll figure it out! I’ll try stuff the other guys won’t even consider – ’cause I don’t know any better!”
As Drew goes about learning his new job, he finds himself a rather enthusiastic partner – Krista! Together, they investigate the case of a fading movie star who tragically fell to her death on the set. But was it an accident – or did someone take their “creative differences” a little too far? Join our two bumbling private detectives as they constantly scramble to stay afloat and sometimes even to stay alive. The story will keep you guessing right up to the surprise ending!
If you like Theodore Boone, The Adventures of Jack Lime or a light take on Veronica Mars, you’ll love My Dad, the Private Eye. Tweens, teens and even adults will get a thrill out of this middle grade detective series full of fun mystery and funny action.

HughTube
The story of one middle school kid's desperate attempt to get a clue
14-year-old Hugh Hollenbeck doesn’t get it. What doesn’t he get? Just about everything. That’s why he walks around with a little camera attached to his glasses that records his entire life. Then he watches it all later to try to figure out the things he didn’t get before – which, as you’ll recall, is just about everything – and he makes a weekly video blog for all to see.
Unfortunately, Hugh’s cluelessness leads him to run for Student Council President. Even his little sister knows that this school election thing is just “not him”, but Hugh, as always, has to find out the hard way. At least Hugh’s campaign gets him the attention of the very confident, very pretty – and very intimidating – Molly MacLaine. But will Molly be able to help Hugh survive his disastrous campaign, or will he crash and burn… and bring the whole school down with him?
If you like the Middle School series and Diary of a Wimpy Kid, you’ll love HughTube. This book is for anybody who’s ever been baffled by the secrets, contradictions and unwritten rules of middle school. Tweens and teens will easily relate to the comic mishaps of our hapless hero. This funny coming of age, middle grade story is the first in a series, so if you like it, there's more to come!
