Wikipedia Jones and the Case of the All-Seeing Eye
“If it’s on the Internet, it must be true.” So says Leroy Jones, a tech-smart fifteen-year-old mallrat better known by his nickname of Wikipedia. Armed with only his wits and an iPhone, Wiki trolls obscure websites for disparate chunks of information which will crack open even the toughest cases. Who took a crap in the urinals? Who left obscene tweets on the display smartphones? The answers, of course, are all on the Web.
But all is not well at the posh Lewiston Mall. When a gang of local hipsters secure part-time jobs, it quickly becomes apparent that there’s much more to the retail game than meets the eye. Aided only by his closest friends and a handful of bookmarked websites, Wiki feverishly works to connect the dots… and stumbles across a sinister, capitalist plot in the process!

THE GOOSEY LARSEN SERIES
Burnout (Book #1)
Goosey Larsen isn’t your average detective, and it’s doubtful that he’ll ever reach that level of performance. His annual personnel review described him as someone with “lagging motivation” who “lacks interpersonal skills.” Goosey can usually be found coming in late or sneaking out early, but when dead bodies start turning up in downtown Charleston, Goosey is forced to do the one thing he hates most: policework.
Smoke and Mirrors (Book #2)
Things are heating up in downtown Charleston, South Carolina, as a series of suspicious house fires have the police department on high alert. Presumably the work of a serial arsonist, the fires have the entire city in a panic. Only one man can solve the case…if he would only bother to show up for work!
On the Beat (Book #3)
Goosey Larsen is back! After a professional stumble derails his career, the once-proud detective finds himself stuck on a foot patrol beat in Charleston’s historic City Market. The only way to break out of this demeaning new assignment is to prove his law enforcement prowess to the Chief, which means that every drunk and bum within walking distance is cowering in fear of the one-man cleanup squad. As with most of Goosey’s cases, however, things are never quite as simple as they appear…
Property Damage (Book #4)
With burglaries and vandalisms at an all-time high, you’d think that our hero would be busier than ever. The unsolved case files are stacking up, to the point where his desk could be considered a fire hazard. As usual, though, Goosey’s nowhere to be found. Only a true emergency could interrupt this cop’s afternoon nap… like a massive hurricane headed straight for Charleston!
Retired on Duty (Book #5)
When a crime wave breaks out in Charleston, the city’s police department needs their best officers on the beat. Unfortunately, the officer tasked with responding to all this madness is none other than Corporal ‘Goosey’ Larsen!
Fresh off an unexpected promotion, Goosey takes charge of a patrol squad and trains them in his own unique style of policework. Late arrivals, long lunches, and early departures become the norm, while Goosey struggles with his mid-career burnout.
