Escape the Ordinary with the Rafe Ryder Series!

Rafe Ryder and the Well of Wisdom/Book One

Strange things happen when the place you call “home” is no longer your address.

Twelve-year-old Rafe Ryder’s year couldn’t get worse. His parents have shipped him off to live with his grandmother and he doesn’t know if he’ll ever see his sick father again. Arriving in Maine, Rafe plots his return to England, but the possibility of a homecoming slips further from his grasp when an adventure in a corn maze at his new school goes wrong, and he and twelve of his schoolmates are mysteriously transported to Mystfira–a realm of angels, leprechauns, gargoyles and fairies–and home to an elite angelic training school. Forced to co-exist with student angels and surrounded by more danger than he ever could have imagined, Rafe searches for a way home only to stumble upon a scheme to destroy the heavens. Can he find a way to save himself and his friends … or will they be lost forever?

Rafe Ryder and the Brushstroke of Time/Book Two

Strange things happen when the place you call “home” is no longer your address.

Just when thirteen-year-old Rafe Ryder thinks this year can’t get any stranger, he finds himself proven wrong. He and his classmates have averted a plot to destroy the angelic world of Mystfira, but he still must grapple with his newfound identity and figure out a way to get himself and the the other students home to Earth. But when his friends start disappearing one by one, Rafe must take action.

Are his friends alive? Have they fallen victim to the treacherous world of Mystfira, or to a more nefarious plot conjured by the dark spirits in Baeldavar? Along with a crotchety leprechaun named Seamus, Rafe and his two remaining friends must reckon with Time itself to solve the mystery before their classmates are lost forever.

Featured Author: L. L. Reynolds

Author of the Rafe Ryder series, L. L. Reynolds is a registered nurse turned middle grade/young adult fantasy writer from Vermont. A labor and delivery nurse for nearly twenty years, L. L. has a unique insight into human nature, as well as two shattered eardrums and a permanently deformed right hand attributed to vociferous laboring patients unaware of their own strength.

She once had dinner with E.B. White, the author of Charlotte’s Web, and it remains one of the highlights of her life thus far. She is passionate about children, dogs, creative writing, and tea. Depending on the day, her husband sometimes makes the aforementioned list.
