Irving Wishbutton Series

'... I would put 'Irving Wishbutton and the Questing Academy' up against any modern teen coming of age series including 'Harry Potter'..." Welcome to the Questing Academy, a school devoted to helping book characters learn their roles. They attend classes whiIe their authors finish their stories, only graduating upon publication. With a student body made up of heroes, villains, support characters, and folks who are just plain narrative window dressing, there's conflict galore. Irving Wishbutton arrives at the Questing Academy incomplete. His author hasn't fully described him, which leaves parts of him fuzzy and indistinct. Branded a smudge, he is treated like a second-class citizen. Trouble dogs Irving at every turn. He runs afoul of Sir Gared, a villain who's convinced he's destined to be a hero. Lord Raggleswamp and Dean Harmstrike also seem to have it in for him. Plus, far too many of the professors are villains. Something is amiss at the academy and Irving, willing or not, must unearth the school's dark secrets. Aided by Roon, an undead detective whose fickle author can't decide what undead type she truly is, and Sarya, a spunky fairy that sees Irving quite clearly for what he is even though he's a lowly smudge, he embarks on a dangerous quest, one not written by his author.  The Questing Academy is volume one in a four-book saga that tells a coming-of-age metafiction story for the ages.

"... Of the literally hundreds of self published, Kindle freebie, and kindleunlimited books I've read, skimmed and commented on, this is one of the most interesting, entertaining and satisfying finds to date..." Irving and Roon brave the wilds outside of the Questing Academy as they seek to rescue her brother from Revision Ravine. Their adventure finds unlikely alliances forged with Druthers the wish dragon, along with Knarl and his sharp-edged wife, Lady Edith. As the pair delve deeper into Revision Ravine, they learn more than they bargain for about Dean Harmstrike's sinister reach and his foul plans. Can Roon and Irving escape the Machine and the dark hold the ravine has on trespassers? Find out in the second book of the Irving Wishbutton saga

It's been a month since Roon and Irving snuck off campus to rescue the vampire's brother from Revision Ravine. Though tempted to investigate the school's secrets, both have worked hard and attended classes to stay in Dean Harmstrike's good graces. And then Roon and Irving stumble upon the secrets of the Tomb of Tomes. Venturing into this off-limits area angers Harmstrike, who once again makes their time at the academy miserable. Campus life becomes even more chaotic. Irving must find time to perfect his team's dungeon runs, confront Harmstrike's writers to find out the dean's dark agenda, and figure out his spunky fairy girlfriend's tragic secret and its connection to the Tomb of Tomes. The third book in the Irving Wishbutton saga offers up strange answers and even more mysteries. Readers will love the new characters of Cocoon Boy and the vile Vincent and welcome back favorites like Sarya, Lord Raggleswamp, Valiant Forge, and the ice princess Stacia. Although, to be honest, the princess is really nobody's favorite but maybe a few might warm to her this time out.

Dean Harmstrike is fed up with supervising the characters that attend the Questing Academy and will stop at nothing to invade the real world. Irving and his eclectic classmates, along with a very special stranger, risk it all to stop him. Harmstrike expels Irving to the mysterious Domain of Sagas where Irving must inhabit the title role in three quests. He can't lose himself in the heroic characters he's hijacked as he barrels through the epic adventures, beating back the madness and searching for his true cast amid the narrative archetypes so they can all escape. Can Irving escape his storybook prisons and defeat the dean once and for all?  The Domain of Sagas is the fourth and final volume in the Irving Wishbutton fantasy series.
