The Audrey Green Chronicles are three interlocking novels about a group of English children who discover they are connected by tunnels between their bodies. Each book is written in classic style, but with genre intonations. They are designed to appeal to the largest possible audience, being both simple in language and infinitely complex in design. Primarily, they are mystery novels, containing murders and investigators, victims and innocents. However, they are only tangentially 'whodunits,' owing more of their flavor to adventure novels, European travelogues, and mad scientist movies.

THE NUMBING OF AUDREY GREEN introduces Audrey Green, an eight-year-old little girl living with a large family in Dorry, England, a small inland town south of London. Her father Simon Green is a middle-aged bookkeeper studying a mysterious ledger, discovered in a shipping office after another bookkeeper's vanishing. He unlocks a hidden code - the encrypted name of a Nobel-nominated germ researcher, Robby Holliday. Taking his daughter, Simon Green runs off to find this man, hoping it will lead to the missing bookkeeper. As their escape begins, Audrey Green starts to lose her sense of touch…

THE SEARCH FOR AUDREY GREEN begins one year later, in 1958, as Audrey Green's teenage sister Winsey Green finds employment in another small town, Marsden. Working in a dance hall, she is caught in a triangle of three plotting strangers. Her mission is to find her sister Audrey, the girl never having returned. One night, a famous jazz musician plays the ballroom, and he knows of Audrey Green. He promises to help her search, but before it can begin, he goes missing, too - last seen at the Marsden Mill, a local pub, where three dead bodies have just been discovered…

THE TRAVELS OF AUDREY GREEN finally addresses the drowning of Antony Green, briefly mentioned in the other two books. Antony was six years old and waded out into the Channel, claiming he had found an underwater train before drifting away. It's 1953 in Burnby, England, and Alison Falliher, wife of a police inspector, becomes obsessed with the drowning. In her post box, she receives an unmarked letter of instructions: 'Go in secret to St. Peter's Church; the boy's not drowned.' There, she meets a man in a 'borrowed' body…

All three novels have romance, adventure, insight, and suspense. It is a highly developed series for an intelligent audience - children, adults, teens, anyone who is an avid or casual reader, bored with the current fare.
