The young wizardlings' problems are (basically) the same as those facing other young adults:

Who will win the big game?

Does that handsome older boy like me?

Will I pass the big test in Spellcasting class?

How can I get my homework done when someone keeps jinxing my textbook?

Why does the Wandmaster hang upside-down by his heels outside the cafeteria?

How am I ever going to remember where all my classes are if the rooms keep moving?

How do you ask a question to a professor teaching class from inside a coffin?

Will anyone be eaten by the hideous beast in the cafeteria?

How many years can you spend in Detention and still graduate?

( It makes a difference whether Detention involves writing lines on the blackboard ... or mucking out monster cages )

While the Wizard Academies stories will appeal to the same audience as Harry Potter, all of the characters and settings are unique and original. Many of the stories incorporate traditional English folk and faery lore.

The adventures includes:

Murder mystery stories with characters and plots reminiscent of Sherlock Holmes, Nero Wolfe, and Oliver Twist. The student wizards solve crimes that Scotland Yard can't unravel.

A chilling ghost story in which the students are reincarnated and try to find out who they were in their previous lives.

Gothic romances in which the heroine has to decide who she will allow to kiss herthe nice guy or the monster.

Wild-and-wooly adventure tales with tongue-and-cheek humor and dragons to conquer.

Wizard Academies I: A Gathering of Enchantment and Wizard Academies II: The Heart of Darkness have an ongoing theme that runs throughout the stories involving the evil faery Delisandre le Fay, queen of Elfin Court of Foxcastle. She is trying to get her hands on a terribly powerful magickal talisman, but nobody quite knows for sure what it isand many people guess wrong.

Wrong guesses often lead to extremely varied and sometimes fatal consequences.

Wizard Academies III: Crossroads of Magick deals with problems that arise when the World Wide Ley Network runs amok. Doppelgangers at Kingsbridge, spooks at Grackleflint's, and monsters in the catacombs under Killiecrankitt pose a challenge to the student wizardlings.

In addition, we meet a number of interesting magickal creatures, including a spagpie, water leapers, a bog troll, a homicical duck, and the inimitable Constable Rabbit. Spectacular cover artwork by our artist Lylith.

Wizard Academies: Rumpots, Crackpots, and Pooka-Mazed Halfwits chronicles the adventures of Corwyn Daniels, a lad at the lowest-accredited magick school in Britain. Some wizard schools are large, highly-accredited, and well respected. Others are smaller, but serve elite clientele and have high academic standards. By way of contrast, Gallimaufriars Academy in Cumbria barely meets Ministry of Wizardry standards.

Find out what happens at a school where the headmaster and faculty are referred to as "a bunch of rumpots, crackpots, and pooka-mazed halfwits ..."

Wizard Academies: A Special Kind of Talent follows the adventures of Nelson Freemantle, a wild talent who enrolls at Long Step Academy in Londona magick school for juvenile delinquent wizards. Under the tutilage of Matador and Maestro, these tough students solve crimes too magickal for Scotland Yard.

Busker is the one student at Long Step who is free to leave whenever he wants. But now that Busker has discovered magick, he doesn't want to leave the Scheherazade Hotel and the chances for adventure and enchantment that Long Step Academy offers him.
