Book Trailer for Fantasies Are Murder

Book 1 in the Kim & Kelly mystery series is Fantasies Are Murder.  The storyline reads like a good Nancy Drew novel with up-to-date characters.  The catch with this series is that there are 2 main characters - Kim and Kelly.  You will never know which one is telling the story until you start reading.  Follow Kim & Kelly on their very first dangerous adventure as they try to stop a killer before they become the next target.

Fantasies Are Murder is availabe in any format and you can find it on Amazon, B&N or Smashwords.

Here is the link to the new book trailer.  Enjoy!  http://youtu.be/aKjMZ3dmoVo

Wound Too Tight is an all time favorite for young boys, but girls love it too.  Cock full of evil pirate ghosts, cursed treasure and an adventure that will never be forgotten, Wound Too Tight is sure to capture even the pickiest reader's tastes.  This book has the reputation that once a child starts reading it he/she just can't put it down until the very end.

Book Trailer for Mystery of the Attic


Mystery of the Attic is one of my biggest sellers and most popular with kids.  This story is based on a true haunting, which happened to ME when I was 13 years old.  Most of the scary parts of the story are true (but not the talking ghosts), the house, the farm, my life and school friends are all true.  Oh, and by the way, Chapter 6 was the most scariest thing that ever happened to me.  It has stayed with me all these years and is the reason why I wrote Mystery of the Attic.

Enjoy!

Maisy Sawyer is not your average fourth grade student. She is a detective with a special skill for solving mysteries. In the first story in the series, Maisy tries to solve the case when her school's mascots go missing. The thief contacts Maisy and steals from her as well. Can Maisy catch the thief and return the mice to their home in the science lab?


By author Elizabeth Woodrum:

Elizabeth Woodrum is a full time elementary teacher in Ohio. She began writing as early as when she was in elementary school, but more recently began writing material for use in her classroom. From that writing, grew the desire to write books for the general population of children and adults alike. The Maisy Files, a children's series, is the first series that she has published. The series currently has one book, The Missing Mice. Elizabeth plans to add more books to the series, and would also like to publish books for adults in the future.
As a reader, Elizabeth prefers the fantasy genre, but she enjoys realistic fiction as well. Some of her favorite authors include JK Rowling, Stephenie Meyer, Rick Riordan, Veronica Roth, Suzanne Collins, and Nicholas Sparks.
Originally from Indiana, Elizabeth currently resides near Dayton, Ohio with her two pets: a cat named Butterscotch and a dog named Reese Cup.

Based on a True Story

Mystery of the Attic is a story that is based on something that happened to me as a 13 year old living in an old farmhouse.  I would have to say that 80% of this story is true - my family members, family situation, school, friends and teachers were real people in my life at that time.  The hauntings really did happen (not the talking ghosts though) and chapter 6 was a night I would never forget!

I complied all the different hauntings together for the making of this book, but in reality they went on for a time span of 6 years. We moved and the new owners said they never heard or saw anything at all.

Years later, into my adulthood, I took my daughter, son and my daughter's friend to the old house.  I asked the owner if I could show them around and we even went up into the attic where most of the activity happened.  The kids were sure nervous, but nothing happened.

I invite you to check out this prime mystery for yourself.  There are tons of reviews and a sample reading.  This book is available in paperback or ebook and on any platform.
