This a ride you won't want to miss!Interview with the authorQ - What makes The Mystery Searchers Family Book Series so special?It's a mix of things, really. When I started the series, I wanted to integrate the things that I liked as a 10-15 year-old. . . from the 4th or 5th grade all the way into junior high school. I loved mystery books which lead, often, to mystery solving, crime and detective stories, and action and adventure. So I would devour books like the Hardy Boys, Nancy Drew, or Enid Blyton's The Famous Five series. I quickly realized that clean, wholesome books were important too, and I've integrated that concept in every Mystery Searchers installment.Q - What order should I read the books in?I've written the series so that you can read them in any order. By the time you finish any one of the books, all the threads will come together.Q - Are there more installments coming in the series?Yes! Currently I'm releasing two books every year.
