My first book trilogy, was described by Kirkus Indie as "An epic fantasy notable for its deceptions, elaborate traps, and worldbuilding," TVC is a hilarious, genre-defying, kids/YA story that pulls zero punches and laughs a lot.

Reminiscent of ghost stories told around the campfire, "The Haunted Lake" by PJ Lynch has a distinctly Irish folkloric feel to it, perfect as children embark on the Halloween season.

Kirkus Reviews calls “The Haunted Lake” “sublime.…Satisfying and visually superb.”
