"Shirley Link is a new girl detective series that my daughter is crazy about. This is an amazing series, my friends! Your kids will be hooked and you'll feel really good about it."
Edward Hemingway, Author/Illustrator for Bad Apple and Bump in the Night
"This Veronica Mars for the tween-set is funny, smart, and full of preternatural wisdom. A thirteen year old gumshoe with mad crazy perception skills, Shirley Link sets out to solve the mystery of a missing school safe while at the same time juggling jealous best friends, boys, and homework. She does this with aplomb and the occasional, hilarious zinger."
Amazon readers"...in a era of young adult literature full of self-doubting, somewhat wishy-washy protagonists, Shirley (like Sherlock) has full confidence in her own abilities, making her a much more timeless character."
"Shirley Link is just the kind of protagonist I want in books for my children - and for me. I gave this a pre-read before handing off my Kindle to my daughter, and to my delight I was engrossed throughout."
Who is Shirley Link? "I put on my kindest face for the poor man. I even smile a little. Marie slashes her fingers across her neck, telling me to stop with the fake grin. She must think I look creepy again. I keep smiling, though. I need to practice. I have a problem with people thinking I'm mean." - Shirley Link
And so it goes, for Shirley Link. Brilliant, brazen and still a whole year away from her driver's permit. Sure, she's only 14 years old and has homework to do, but she'll put it aside for the right mystery!
Shirley Link's kickoff adventure pits her against a thief who's stolen thirty thousand dollars from her school's safe. Usually, she'd wrap that kind of case up before The Big Bang Theory. But there's one intriguing, frustrating detail. The half-ton safe disappeared too! Shirley must find the culprit quickly, or else her beloved principal, Mr. Reese, will lose his job. As she digs deeper, Mr. Reese looks more and more guilty. Will Shirley save him, or get him tossed in jail?
"This is how it is to be Shirley Link, the best detective in the world, if I do say so myself. I can spot a lie like most people spot a zit. I see connections where they hide best. And I get in trouble every time I try to tell people what I do with my free time. Only a handful know about my talent. I prefer to keep it that way." - Shirley Link

About the Author
Shirley Link, a series for kids 8-12 years old, has been my focus since 2012. The first two books in the series hit the top 5 in Teen Mysteries on Amazon, which was a dream come true. Shirley's fun because she knows what she's doing. There's no stumbling across victory. She plans eight moves ahead. I could write her forever, and plan to.
But that doesn't mean I don't have other worlds ready to spring! In fact, I can't wait to roll out my next series, The Camelot Kids. Merlin, the greatest wizard to ever live, may be prepared for the random rogue wizard, or a hive of hungry dragons. But is he ready for The Camelot Kids? I live in Massachusetts, surrounded by the Forbidden Forest, with my wife and son. I'm scheduled to begin teaching classes in digital publishing and marketing at New York's School of Visual Arts MFA Visual Narrative program in 2015.

"There are early middle grade mysteries out there, but most of them have sketchy characters, and a lot of them plod along fairly predictable arcs. This series has an engaging heroine, a lot of attitude, and a much snappier overall feel." - PopBop (Top 1000 Amazon Reviewer)
