Katrin’s Chronicles: The Canon of Jacqueléne Dyanne, Vol. 1
Katrin’s Chronicles is a young adult mystery novel whose narrator, thirteen-year-old Katrin DuBois, recounts the unusual adventures that began when she was a middle school kid of eleven and her elder sister, Jacqueléne Dyanne began to exhibit extra-ordinary powers of deduction; enhanced, some say, with psychic abilities. Taking place on the south side of Chicago in 1968, Katrin and J. Dyanne become the Dr. Watson and Sherlock Holmes of their neighborhood. This is book one of a trilogy.
This contemporary holiday romp through a Los Angeles neighborhood tells the story of three wandering spirits hoping to transition to the light by New Year’s Eve. But it will only happen if each of them can cure a human heart of their Scrooge-like tendencies to become more loving and charitable citizens of the planet.
These engaging original, self-contained monologues feature contemporary characters in serious, comic and dramatic comic situations. Wonderful for a classroom work or a diverse night of theatre.…
