But on this lost island they are all at least twenty times their normal size. Trapped on an island with a six metre long giant centipede with armoured plates was not on the cruise itinerary. Now all they want is to get off – without being squished!

Meet Chase Maxfield. After a summer break, the former wallflower returns to school with a new found confidence to match his sudden, yet classic, good looks. His popularity even pulls the attention away from golden boy Troy Barrett. But not everyone is enamored with the overnight class favorite. Troy’s brother, Jack, suspects something sinister is behind Chase’s unexpected transformation, and his skepticism only grows as other eerie events occur.
Erik is preparing for his first-ever hunting trip when he learns that his parents are being deployed to Iraq.

When Erik rescues a dog that's been stuck by a porcupine, Big Darrell says Erik can't keep him. But Erik has already named her Quill and can't bear to give her up. He decides to run away, taking the dog and a shotgun, certain that they can make it on their own out on the prairie.

The second book in The Santa Claus Trilogy is an inspirational story that puts a significant emphasis on the true meaning of Christmas and how the North Pole relates its events to the birth of Jesus. A heartwarming Christian fantasy that will have the reader laughing, crying with joy, and mesmerized in the land of Santa Claus and his helpers.
Everyone loses faith and hope from time to time. This is the story about good-hearted families who have done unselfish things in their lives but had life events go badly for them. They begin to lose confidence and belief in themselves. Santa invites them to the North Pole without them knowing what their actual final destination is. Once there, Santa restores their faith, hope, and trust with a booster shot of love and magic that will change their lives forever.
This is a three-part series that is a family read for everyone from preteen kids reading chapter books to the eldest great grand-parent. It answers a great many mysteries and legends about Santa Claus while entertaining the reader with imaginative fantasies and real events of the world.
Faith, Hope & Reindeer is the second in The Santa Claus Trilogy and is the only book in the three that takes place entirely during Christmas. The other novels span the entire year (or years). Then again, a little Christmas throughout the year is not a bad thing, in my opinion.
Believe Again, The North Pole Chronicles is the first book in the series.
Faith, Hope & Reindeer is the second in the series.
Glaciers Melt and Mountains Smoke is the third in the series.

Faith, Hope & Reindeer has been called “enchanting”, “heart-warming,” “inspirational”, and too many more great comments to list here. It has been referred to as a future “Hallmark Hall of Fame” movie because it evokes such warm and wonderful emotions. If you would like to experience genuine magic in your life, then you are invited to jump on board and discover a place you only dreamed of before. This is a wonderful addition for teachers and home schooling to add to their reading list.

"Harvey has written a poignant and compelling debut novel that flows well from start to finish. Not only has she crafted a story of the paranormal, but she has, though crafting characters that are quite believable and richly drawn, captured the pain that is often associated with the voyage of self-discovery on which we all must embark." - Paul Collins - Nashua Telegraph

Roseline Enescue didn't ask to become an immortal, to have all of the guests at her wedding slaughtered, or be forced into marriage with a man whose lust for blood would one day ignite the vampire legend.
Willing to risk everything for a chance at a normal life, Roseline escapes to America, but her transition into the human world isn't easy. Mortal men flock after her while cutthroat girls plot her demise. Roseline soon discovers that cliche is sometimes based on reality, in a painful way! Yet she remains relatively unfazed by it all until she meets Gabriel Marston. As their lives entwine, Roseline realizes that he is more than he seems. His ability to grind concrete into dust pales in comparison to the glowing cross tattoo that mysteriously appears on his forearms.
Despite the forbidden bond between them, Roseline can't help wondering what Gabriel is. He's not human. He's not immortal. So just what is he?

When you build an entire life on a foundation of lies, it only takes one truth for the whole thing to come crashing down. I never invited the truth in. I never went searching for it. I never had any reason to suspect that the two people I loved most were dishonest with me every second of every day.
I made one bad decision, and in a single day my entire world changed. If I'm ever going to discover the truth about myself and my parents, I have to trace all the lies back to their source. I have to try to find the truth that they're hiding.
The more I discover about myself, and my past, the more I realize that lies really are better than the truth. But now that I know the lies are all around me, I can't stop until I've discovered them all. I'll pull each lie away, one by one, and examine it to see what's underneath...until this house of cards crumbles into dust at my feet.
I just hope I can survive the crash.
