Lilly Noble & the Secret Garden: An Epic Fairy Tale & Supernatural Mystery Saga for Children, Teens, and Young Adults (Actual Magic Book 3) Kindle Edition


On her last visit home to Archer’s Bow, Lilly Noble found a kohl-lined alabaster Eye of Horus. When the eye’s pale green iris seemed to be studying her, by watching her every move, an uneasy sense of danger settled over Lilly. Growing increasingly frightened by the creepy eye, before returning to Bonaventure’s Academy of Magic for the new trimester, Lilly destroyed the artifact. Or did she? Friendships are tested. Loyalties questioned. The lives of those Lilly loves are forever altered. Lilly must learn to trust her friends. Her destiny and her life depends on them all. Interview with the Author Q: What makes your Actual Magic series special? A: Before I began writing this series, my goal was to write stories that not only enchanted children and teens, but also gave readers courage, confidence, and self-esteem in understanding the emotions of others. Coming of age, school issues like bullying, social issues, and family problems are confusing to kids. By writing from different points-of-view, the reader gets to see what thoughts drive another character’s actions. Growing up, I enjoyed reading Fairytales, Folktales, and Myths, Mysteries and Thrillers, Science Fiction, Science Fiction Fantasy, and all kinds of Paranormal Fiction. My favorite books contained a broad range of characters. From ghosts and vampires, to shape shifters, witches and wizards, dragons, fairies, elves, trolls, demons, and mermaids. These stories were set in strange and magical worlds. A boarding school, a haunted house, a cemetery, inside an enchanted wardrobe, on the other side of an enchanted mirror, and down a rabbit hole, to name a few. The hero or heroine often owned a reference library full of spell books, possessed psychic powers, and wielded magic with the flick of a wrist. The Actual Magic series is a wonderful mix of all of those genres, characters, special worlds and magic power. The reader will quickly discover this series focuses on the Science Fiction & Science Fiction Fantasy / Paranormal / Mystery & Thriller / Fairytale, Folktales, & Myth / Action Adventure / Spirituality Genres, and is laced with teen romance, and layered with magic. Overall, in the Actual Magic series there is never a dull moment. Fast-paced, these books will keep the reader up all night, turning the pages. Only the very best stories cast that kind of spell, right? Q: In what order should. I read the Actual Magic series? A: Lilly Noble & Actual Magic Lilly Noble & the Phantom Rush Lilly Noble & the Secret Garden A Mystery's Collection of 101 Love Spells; From the Diary of Shellaire Lombard Deb's Top Secret Confidential Storyteller Workbook; A Writer's Guide The Lilly Noble Series Collection Box Set of Volumes 1-3 Lilly Noble & Actual Magic, a gremoire (is a Fan Fiction Journal with clues to the entire series) Q: Why should children and teens give these books a try? A: The Lilly Noble series is a collection of fun, fast-paced, thrill ride stories that will keep you reading long into the night. Each book keeps hitting the Amazon eBook and Amazon #1 Best Sellers list. Ultimately, readers who enjoy lightning paced stories, with wonderful, engaging character, and plots that twist and turn, will love these stories.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

On July 4, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, Deborah McTiernan was born into a family of avid readers. At the age of 4, she spent hours in her grandmother's attic typing on the portable, baby-blue Smith-Corona typewriter she'd discovered in an old steamer trunk. While pretending to write about the exciting adventures of heroes and heroines set in faraway lands, the keys of that typewriter ignited her imagination.

Her family was transferred from the East Coast to the Midwest. They eventually left the city and settled in the rural community of Orion, Illinois (thinly disguised as Archer's Bow, Illinois in her story, "Lilly Noble & Actual Magic"). It was while living in Orion, Deborah became a life long fan of fairy-tales, myth, and magic. Summers off from school gave her plenty of time to haunt the town library, read her favorite stories on the front porch, and hone her skills as a storyteller.

Deborah lives in Florida.
