Friends to the End
Twelve-year-old Zach is convinced he’ll never be happy without his best friend Jeremy by his side. But both of their lives changed with a bang five months ago, and as far as Zach’s concerned, it’s his fault Jeremy will never see his twelfth birthday.
When Zach moves with his family to a Chicago suburb, he quickly becomes friends with a group of thrill-seeking kids trying to find a disappearing haunted house. But Zach’s not worried. He doesn’t believe in ghosts, so he follows them into a wild, dangerous encounter that becomes a battle to decide what’s real and what’s not.
Sometimes it takes an ordinary ten-year-old to save the day.

I’m available for school visits, library visits, talks, and tips on ghost hunting. You might even be able to convince me to hunt ghosts (for the right price). Brochure available upon request.
Also, I love to hear from readers, and I’d love to know what you think of my books, especially if you have something nice to say!
Thank you for visiting my site!
I write, a lot. It’s a passion of mine. I’m probably off plotting ways to get my characters into trouble right now, or lying on the couch with my head hanging over the edge, wondering how my characters are going to manage to get out of the trouble I’ve gotten them in, or I might be eating blueberries. Some of my best ideas come to me when I’m not thinking at all.
Zach doesn’t believe in ghosts… but he should.

CL Colyer’s newest middle-grade fantasy adventure is Hotel Transylvania meets Sherlock Holmes.
Nothing frightens Atticus Everheart more than monsters, thanks to his older brothers, who often threaten to feed him to the beastly creatures.
Fearing that’s what they will do if he doesn’t replace the book he accidentally ruined, he takes a job tutoring a boy in his neighborhood.
Although nervous about the job, Atticus soon discovers there’s a lot more in store for him than teaching. Never in a trillion years would he have imagined he’d be hiding from monsters, working with ghosts, or searching for werewolves and witches. He’s not brave, and he has no plans to change.
Until he’s forced to.
