Magpie & DIlly

by R.M. Wilburn

Before Buggy Crenshaw, there were others… Magpie & Dilly A Nexus Series Tangent, Book 1Welcome to a new series of tales that all happened in the days before Buggy Crenshaw arrived in Lloyd’s Hollow to save the world, and when the Darkest of All Evil was already laying the groundwork for his rise to power. When the Demon King learns that his prize prisoners, the world famous Mystics known as the Seven Sisters of Surrey, each had a child before they were captured, he sends out his most fearsome Hunters to find and destroy them. It’s not as easy as he expects, though…By now, these seven children are all around twelve years old, but are scattered about the world, hidden in pairs mostly, and are oh-so-carefully guarded by some of the Greater Good’s most heralded Warriors. And for very good reason…The possibility exists that if these children were ever to meet and combine their magic, their power would be devastatingpossibly world-ending!which is all the more reason to bring their stories to light. Maggie and Dylan Cooper are the first to be targeted, but be very certain they won’t be the last.Magpie & Dilly is the first book in the series A Nexus Series Tangenta sister series supporting the Buggy Crenshaw books, In Search of the Nexus. While offering a great deal of background information, factual as well as imagined, this series also shines a light on some very important the mostly unknown network of characters who so valiantly serve in the shadows and without whom Buggy simply will not succeed.In Buggy’s upcoming adventures, you’ll see these characters slip quietlyand sometimes not so quietlyinto the stories as their parts in the Grand Scheme play out, but be aware that each has his or her own tale to tell, and as always, every new face hides a new secret. One thing is certain, magic and imagination are a dangerous mix!

About the author

Helloooo! And thanks for visiting me here at Goodreads. I appreciate your time.

As you may already know, I am the author of a young adult series of magical adventures called In Search of the Nexus which features 12-year-old Buggy Crenshaw:

"Buggy Crenshaw and the Bungler's Paradox"
"Buggy Crenshaw and the Deadwood Principle: Evolution"
"Buggy Crenshaw and the Deadwood Principle: Revolution!"

Also, my YA novel "Magpie & Dilly" is the most recent and is of the same genre and magical world as my Buggy books.

While I do love writing about Buggy and her adventures, I also love to draw odd creatures and some of the more bizarre characters from the magical world where Buggy lives.

A few years ago, I began to work with software that allowed me to show my stories as well as tell them. Nowadays I work mostly with Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator, and have managed to put together a new fully-illustrated adventure called "The Cautioner's Tale." It's the first of a trilogy called "Mary Morgan's Journal," and will be available November 8, 2017.

Once more, thank you so much for visiting me here at my Goodreads home and do please stop by my website www.iamrmwilburn.com or visit me at Facebook: www.Facebook.com/BuggyCrenshaw. Also, feel free to contact me with questions, comments, or just to chit-chat. :-)

Dream big!

I love this “spin-off” of the “Buggy Crenshaw” novels. The books are in the Harry Potter or Percy Jackson genre, you know, kids fighting evil and saving the world. I love it! This book was great because it was spooky and dark without being too spooky and dark and it still left me with a good feeling at the end.
