Get to know the characters...
Killian Spooks is a shaggy-haired and disheveled wizard detective who lives in Windy Vale. It's a small town where weird things seem to take place. Killian has his favourite pub called The Square Inn and he also has a special beer he likes to tipple, called Cambrian Lite.
An unusual thing about Killian is the fact that he rides around the town on an Italian Vespa motor scooter.
A wizard on a scooter, who'd have expected that right? But don't let that fool you. Killian Spooks is a powerful wizard, using his detective skills and with help from his companions can solve almost any case thrown at him. Things are going to get crazy.
Look out Windy Vale - Killian Spooks is about to kick your ass.
PS... if you're allergic to nuts don't worry, there aren't many nutty characters in the books and they won't bring you out in spots.

Strange Happenings is the third instalment in the Killian Spooks Mysteries series. The great thing about reading a KSM book is that you can start anywhere in the series. There are obviously small links to each instalment, but it's just enough that you don't have to follow-on from each book.
So what is Strange Happenings about?
Our intrepid hero Killian is standing inside some kind of chamber. What has he done to be brought here? But there's a lot more to this adventure than meets the eye. Check out the books page to find out more.

The magic lies beyond that door...
This is the famous office of Killian Spooks wizard detective. Whoever knocks on that door is going to be another case for our intrepid P.I. He takes on all kinds of supernatural and weird jobs and never knows what's coming his way. Killian lives in an apartment on the top floor of a printing company called Glenside Printing, which is set in the middle of the town (the original building is pictured (below) with permission from Glyn & Mandy Davies the owners of the property). Killian's office is right next door to his apartment.
The Wizard Detective deals in Supernatural Criminal Cases: The local Police Chief Inspector Daniel Hathaway has cases he can't solve and hasn't the time, money or manpower to work on them. Mostly, they are supernatural in nature, which makes it embarrassing for the chief, so he needs them solved and filed away. Who better to solve them than a wizard private eye. |
The powder-blue Vespa scooter is an Italian classic and it's Killian Spooks perfect ride.
Normally you'd picture a private eye in a big muscle car - screeching around the city - wheels spinning and blue-grey smoke billowing from huge black marks in the tarmac. This wizard is a lot more sedate. Killian prefers his sixties Vespa. It may not have the grunt of a big engine, but it's exactly what the wizard needs to zip around the town of Windy Vale when chasing after strange creatures - he can easily slip into side-streets and tear over cobbled roads. Plus... it's a lot cheaper to run than a car and Killian is all for saving money. And there's one more thing he does when he parks it up... you'll have to read the books to find out more! |
Cleo Smoke - is a Shadow Nymph and as the name suggests, she is awesome. She uses the power of smoke as a weapon to fight the enemy or confuse them with a disguise. She's also a badass at hand to hand combat. She's beautiful and petite, but don't let that fool you she's also deadly and would snap your neck without even thinking about it.
