Produktbeschreibung

Three books make up The Conway Chronicles. The first is 'The Last Werewolf,' in which a walk on the fells above a Lancashire village to escape the boredom of pandemic lockdown, ends with teenager Thomas Chester being followed home by what appears to be a blue-eyed Husky dog. Despite their best efforts the family cannot trace her owner because what they do not know is that the 'dog' is really Rozalia Lupuratu, the sole survivor of a group of immigrant werewolves from Transylvania who has managed to exist for seven years with a spectral pack of wolves on the fells but has now been told by the alpha male that she must leave and find a mate among her own kind. She chooses Thomas, but first she needs to return to human form which is not easy after so many years as a wolf. She finally manages it with the help of his cousin, a powerful young witch called Mary Conway. Then Thomas is struck down by the Coronavirus... Then comes 'Elf-Girl' where, in a children's playground in a Lancashire village a baby girl is stolen from her pram by an elf who had a brief liaison with her mother. Not understanding that human children grow up very differently to elves, Pinkie Dianthus takes little Tiffany to Fairyland to look after him in his old age. But he soon realises his mistake and he hurriedly returns her to her mother only to be collared by trainee werewolf Thomas Chester and his girlfriend Rosie. Powerful young witch, Mary Conway, makes him vow to leave Tiffany and her mother alone. But he soon breaks his promise and kidnaps his daughter twice more. She escapes but, because time runs strangely in Fairyland, each time she returns to the human realm she is older than when she left. When Tiffany is taken for a third time, just after the Beltane celebrations at Mary's new home, she decides the time has come to sort things out with the elves once and for all. Last comes 'Witch-Haven' which is the name of a big old Georgian house set deep in the Lancashire countryside bought by Mary Conway - an accomplished witch as well as being a PhD. She has barely got herself settled in before she offers a home to three half-elf girls and their mother, two trainee witches and a werewolf. Not forgetting the two-hundred-year-old witch who lives in the attic because the house once belonged to her but she went away on holiday for so long that she was declared dead and the house was sold to Dr Conway by her estate! Then something creeps in through a window in middle of the night...

Autorenporträt

The Conway Chronicles stories for Young Adults are a spin-off from my series of Supernatural Crime novels featuring Detective Chief Inspector Alf Stone. Indeed, Mary Conway's first appearance is in a novel called 'The Demdike Legacy', where her ability to communicate with the spirits of dead people helps in the hunt for a serial killer. She also crops up in some, but not all, of the later books in the series because she is working her way through college, then university. I am sure we will hear more of her.
