Lisa Smedman Books Overview

The ApparitionTrail

Steampunk meets the supernatural in a Canada that might have been…
.

The year is 1884, and Corporal Marmaduke Grayburn of the North West Mounted Police always gets his man. But when he is assigned to the secretive Qdivision an elite unit of paranormal investigators founded by legendary Mountie Sam Steele Grayburn discovers that his own psychic powers might lead to more than he bargained for.

With the aid of the eccentric paranormal researcher Arthur Chambers, Grayburn sets out in search of a missing minister and a magical Native artifact known only as the Manitou Stone. But in a land where perpetual motion machines and locomotives meet ancient sorcery, can Grayburn discover the secret of the stone and maintain the uneasy peace between the scattered Indian tribes and settlers? Or will his own buried secrets lead him towards the dark fate that waits at the end of the Apparition Trail?

Creature Catchers

Sibling stowaways take a supernatural safari through Victorian England. Though Kenneth and Candace are twins, they couldn’t be more opposite. Even so, the one thing they do share is a fascination with their eccentric Uncle Nigel, the ‘creature catcher.’ He works for the Londinium Zoo, collecting fantastic beasts like unicorns and fire belching salamanders. When the London Times announces a creature catching contest for kids, the twins hatch a plan to win. As Uncle Nigel heads for the Moorlands to capture a will o’ the wisp, Kenneth and Candace stow away on his dirigible, determined to bring back a troll and a pixie. But neither of the creatures is what they’d expected, and the catchers find themselves caught. Soon the twins have rescued each other, befriended a troll and raced against time to save Uncle Nigel. Their triumphant return to Londinium with their uncle and their trollish friend wins them the prize and recognition as Creature Catchers of the highest order. Full of fun and adventure, Creature Catchers evokes a wonderful world of mythological beings.

From Boneshakers to Choppers

The fastest book on two wheels explores the timeless appeal of the motorcycle. In 1885, two German inventors strapped a motor to a bicycle, and the world’s first motorcycle was born. Riders have been hooked ever since. Climb aboard From Boneshakers to Choppers and discover how these two wheeled wonders spawned subcultures that continue to flourish today. From early endurance contests that catapulted Harley Davidson to fame to pulp novels featuring rugged biker heroes, you’ll witness the burgeoning motorcycle image of the early 20th century. Move on to wartime when the military pushed the motorcycle’s portability by designing collapsible motorbikes to drop by parachute behind enemy lines. Then follow the motorcycle through the definitive postwar years: the birth of the Hell’s Angels, the ultimate cool of biker Marion Brando in The Wild One, and the scooter as fashion craze of the mods. You’ll also discover the world of adventurous female bikers, take to the tracks of stunt riders, and hit the road with cross continent racers. Brim*ming with an amazing collection of archival and contemporary photographs, From From Boneshakers to Choppers will take you on an unforgettable ride.
