Ron Karley - Children's Author

I write fun adventure stories for eight to eighty-eight year olds.

Two of my stories have been published by Ardyne Multimedia Publishers, with illustrations by Danny Byrne.

My third story has been published by Brimstone Books, once again with illustrations by Danny Byrne.

A CAPITAL TRAP Matthew's old school was dreadful. He'd been called unteachable in the classroom and bullied in the playground.
Things seem about to get even worse, because he is being sent off to a Special School 250 miles away. Matthew is determined to do well at his new school, but can he succeed, when faced with so many exciting, strange and even dangerous goings on? Why does the sly bully Horace, go sneaking around the school at night? Why does Matthew keep finding jewellery? What is so suspicious about a magician who can't tell a moth from a butterfly? And what is really behind all those ghost scares?

US is here! The aliens are coming to collect earth life to release on a new planet. They arrive on April 1st to disguise themselves as a hoax. Enjoy the laughs as Rebecca and her friends help them, and at the same time outwit the mob of reporters. "Twists in the plot and suspense at the end of the chapters means this is a book that is hard to put down... Essentially a farce about aliens where children make fools of adults... The obnoxious baddy gets her comeuppance and only those who deserve a good end get it." - Blackmore Vale Magazine

IN AND OUT THE WINDOWS An adventure story crammed with suspense and laughs about a class of children who suddenly transfer to a parallel world during a wet playtime. The hero, Paul, and his friend Michael face a succession of extraordinary adventures as they try to return home. "Each chapter has it scary bits and comic moments as the narrative rushes towards its unpredictable finish. The characters, especially Mad Garin and the mayor who does everything for pubilcity, are clearly drawn. Look out for unconventional eco-messages." - Blackmore Vale Magazine
