The Olympic Vista Chronicles

It’s 1986 and in the small town of Olympic Vista, the biggest secret is waiting for the new kid to find it.

A tale of friendship, horror, and coming of age in the 80s that’s perfect for both nostalgic adults and middle graders alike!

Book One: Yesterday’s Gone

Twelve-year-old Adelaide Winter’s life is perfectly normal. In her quiet Pacific Northwest hometown, summer means biking with friends and arguing over comic books and crushes.
The secure research and development facility locals call The Link is shrouded in rumours, but the adults assure the children there is nothing to worry about. And adults never lie, do they?
Everything changes when the Belcouer family moves to town. Fresh from Boston, and with a nose for adventure, Darius Belcouer is determined to uncover what lurks beneath the surface of the mundane town. When he suggests exploring a haunted house, Darius and his friends find more than they bargain for.
The danger is real, but so is the thrill of uncovering the truth. In Olympic Vista, life is about to become a lot more interesting.


Book Two: Songs from the Woods

The haunted house was only the beginning.
Twelve-year-old Darius Belcouer knows the quiet town of Olympic Vista is anything but normal. After uncovering the dangerous truth about a house thought to be abandoned, Darius and his best friend, Adelaide Winter, are only left with more questions: Who were the secret agents they crossed paths with, and how do they connect to The Link?
Darius is desperate for answers and another mystery—and the strange little town is ready to deliver.
While school is in full swing, news of a series of unusual and brutal animal attacks sends a shiver through the community. Darius and Adelaide know immediately this isn’t the work of an ordinary predator. The trail of evidence leads them into the forest behind Adelaide’s house, but as the local wildlife turns vicious, the pair quickly realize that the horror lurking in the shadows might be more than they’re equipped to face. The woods are alive with a terrifying new threat, and it may be tied directly to the answers they’ve been seeking.
Some secrets won’t just stay buried. Some of them bite.


Book Three: Costumes & Copiers

In a town like Olympic Vista, weird doesn’t take a holiday.
The copy centre where Adelaide’s mom works shuts down suddenly overnight and Belinda is unemployed. Again. No one seems to have any answers. Is something supernatural at play? Or can they blame Belinda’s infamously bad luck?
And then, with Halloween right around the corner, Adelaide and her friends’ attention turns to costumes! Dizzy Izzy’s Costume Emporium, a new pop-up shop promising the perfect disguises, is more than happy to help. Only when the evening of the big Halloween party arrives does the true horror begin.
Now, Adelaide and her friends must solve yet another mystery before the most magical night of the year becomes a permanent nightmare of tricks, treats, and a terrifying transformation.
Get ready for the wildest, scariest Halloween in Olympic Vista history!


Book Four: Farmhouse Fiasco

They thought Halloween was over. They were dead wrong.
It’s late Fall 1986 in Olympic Vista, and twelve-year-old Adelaide Winter is desperate for a distraction from life at home. And in this strange Pacific Northwest town, a little weirdness is never far away.
The new mystery arrives as a spooky rumor: a floating jack-o’-lantern hovering over an old farm. Adelaide quickly rallies her friends for a late-night mission, only to have their plans unravel before they even step onto the property.
Caught in a situation unlike anything they’ve faced, with danger lurking in every shadow, the preteen sleuths must pull together.
In Olympic Vista, the tricks don’t stop just because the calendar says November.


Book Five: Birds of a Feather

When Clayton, the older brother of their classmate Colin, goes missing, Darius, Adelaide, and the rest of the group are on the case. Their best lead takes them through a mysterious archway in the woods—and straight into a parallel world where disaster has struck.
When an old friend resurfaces, Adelaide learns she might be hiding her own secret.
It’s a race against the clock as the friends search for Clayton in the strange ghost town. Can they get home in time to stop their own world from suffering the same fate?
