Welcome

"Laura Quimby fashions a creepy-cool world, brimming with danger and magic, weaving together carnivals, the Amazing Houdini, and elements of myths. It was a pleasure to follow Jack, the Handcuff Kid, into this world and get lost in it. Here's hoping this is just the first of many Handcuff Kid tales."
   —Bruce Hale, author of the Chet Gecko Mysteries
