                        CHARLIE MACCREADY



                        For years I wanted to write a story about my experiences growing up in a Catholic seminary boarding school.  It was a different world from what other teenagers shared and yet in many ways it was the same. There were the jocks/bullies, the popular guys, the smart ones, the not-so-popular guys.

                        While the Charlie MacCready series is a work of fiction, it is inspired by the stories I heard, things I did, and events that happened. 

                        Charlie is an average boy who can't help but find himself surrounded by trouble.  His three friends - Howard, Gus and Rick - are a complicated lot with problems of their own but still they have time to help Charlie solve the many mysteries he encounters.

                        The first in the series is "The Ghost In The Attic."
                        The second, "Shadows In The Dark." 
                        The third, "Sirens In The Night."Keep watching for the fourth and fifth.
