PJ and Sir William welcome you.
PJ met Sir William in a place they'd never been, at a time that was unkept. Because of this, as you can imagine, they became very close friends. When William met Mac, William immediately knew that Mac was incredibly important, while Mac thought of William as another weird adult he did not need to know. But then he put William's goggles on and the world became a wondrous new place, and their friendship, and partnership, was never questioned again.
PJ hopes that you will enjoy the stories of Sir William as told by Mac. They stretch from Patagonia to the darkest depths of the universe.

SIR WILLIAM AND THE TERROR BIRDS
as told by
MAC
Where other normal seven year old kids just walk, Misha, Mac’s annoying cousin, had to twirl.
While other fathers had normal jobs, his ran around the world taking pictures, too stupid to know that sharks bite, and volcanoes burn, and terror birds are extinct.
Now available on Amazon
And even though other mothers yell at their thirteen year olds to clean their rooms, practice their clarinets, and eat peas, Mac’s mom doesn’t. Because she has just died, and now nothing in this stupid world will ever be anywhere normal again.
Sir William, however, has never valued normal. Nor sanity. He often wonders if that’s why he enjoys Earth so much, since there is little of either.
Sir William is known for his ability to drop in on people just when they are about to get eaten, blown up, vaporized, or, are just having a really bad day. That’s why he has moved next door to Mac.

Quotes from Mac:
Misha never just walked to school, no matter how much I yelled or threatened or begged. Misha twirled. That’s right, my cousin is a twirler.
“Why do you keep calling me your dear old friend? I just met you!” Sir William was annoying riddles.
“Because years from now you will be, naturally. Therefore, since time is never as you think, you are, now, my dear old friend.”
My father wasn't born an idiot, it took him years to perfect.
Famous quotes from (and about) Mac's dad, Dylan:
"I’ve hunted the great white, stood on the rim of volcanoes, and survived in the deepest jungles of Africa. I am, you see, a photographer!”
The man looked at him and muttered, “And a fool.”
Quote from Sir William [to Mac about transporting with the goggles.]
“You know, a man, a man who could float through the air and see through the sun, taught me that we see what we expect to see. I expect and then see wondrous things that I know, are yet to be. I have seen more than even I can imagine.”
You'll enjoy sharing the adventure. Put your goggles on!

SIR WILLIAM AND THE DRAGON
as told by
MAC
William knows that with every second little Lolly could be gone. She has washed ashore onto a strange island after a tour boat wreck. A Komodo dragon, Mazgula, is now looking forward to this tasty human snack. Although the monkeys on the island are caring for her, a storm is on its way and Mazgula waits, knowing the trees will fall and she will have nowhere to hide.
William rushes to pick up Lolly's big brother, Scott, who has dreams that usually come true. He has been dreaming about Lolly living in trees and being terrified of something below her.
He had also seen William in his dreams and is amazed when William and Mac show up. They are the only ones who believe him, and who know that Lolly is still alive.
This is Lolly's story:
Lolly didn’t know her name was Lolly, as she lay on the beach, with a bump on her head, and strange noises all around her. Where was she, and, more scary, she wondered who am I? These wonderings alone made her frightened, but the large, drooling, brown running toward her made her lungs freeze and her heart pound. Absolute terror.
“Monster! Monster!”
The large beast was far down the beach, but it came at her faster and faster, its long, slimy tongue flashing in and out of its mouth.
“Yummm,” she heard.
Suddenly something grabbed her and she flew into the trees...
Later, when the storm hits:
The defeated trees were piled high like spilled, tangled toothpicks. Rain hit in sheets, sometimes covering blowing so strong that it knocked Scott backward, making him fall into the swirling sea water.
He heard Lolly but couldn't see her. The water rose, it had only been up to his knees but it had climbed up his leg in just a few minutes. Lolly's screams kept him fighting to get through. She was going to die if he couldn't find her. He threw branches and floating trash to the sides, cutting his hands, barely able to think. She screamed again and he heard the monkeys on the hills and in the trees screeching in panic. He finally found the direction the screams turned, moving through the tumbling sand sucking his feet down and down. That’s when he saw the monster dragon sticking its head under the stacked debris. The huge lizard so close that he could almost touch its tail. It moved over and under, its short powerful legs pushing and throwing him side to side.
Scott spotted Lolly, her head barely above the water. “Lolly!”
Now he leapt through the water, walking and swimming, trying to fly over it all to reach her. But the dragon was fast, too strong to stop, and he no idea what to do. Perhaps he could jump on its back, at least slow it down. He screamed at it and finally hit it with a large branch. It turned, looked at him, hissed, and crawled its way under and over the branches almost reaching his little sister. A wave hit it and knocked it back, giving Scott a few more feet to get to Lolly. But he knew, just one bite, that's all it would take.
"No! Come get me! Coward. Come get me!" He splashed the water and the monster turned again, staring calmly and flicked its tongue out, tasting the annoying human in the air.
A bizarre roar blasted through the storm, coming from behind a thicket of fallen trees, answered by another on the other side of the beach, and then another on the hill.
Scott leapt again and grabbed Lolly's arm just as the beast pushed up, almost standing, its mouth wide in the powerful biting rain, just inches from her head.
Watch out for dragons, as you will learn from the second book told by Mac in Sir William's Adventures.

SIR WILLIAM AND THE SPACE SNAKE, AND THE PLANET NAMED "BOB"
as told by
MAC
This is one of Mac's favorite tales because he, like the girls you are about to meet, had lived in a family that was kind of swirled together. His parents were divorced, he lived with his aunt, so he understood how Lilly and Cindy felt like "leftover kids" (like the green icky stuff in the dish in the back of the refrigerator.) Like a lot of people they lived in the midst of new moms, new dads, and new siblings. They felt like the "old's", the leftovers.
William needed help with a situation brewing close to his home planet, Exo, and he knew that the girls would be perfect agents in his plan. He asked his old friend, in this instance known as Sidewalk, (sometimes as Volcano, or Pyramid, or Glacier) to help him. Sidewalk thought it was hilarious and so agreed.
Here's how it got started:
The girls walked on, not knowing that Sidewalk had been listening, and not knowing that Sidewalk was about to change their lives.
And then…
“Oh darn it,” Lilly tried to lift her shoe to look at the gum she thought she had just stepped in. She seemed to always be stepping on gum.
Only this time she couldn’t lift her shoe. And, of course, there was no gum.
“Must be some kind of atomic ick…why can’t people just throw it in a trash can…” she went on pulling on her foot until her shoe, which was worn and properly broken in, was about to slip off.
This is when Sidewalk began to tilt. It was tipping. Backward. The front was rising bending their feet at a very uncomfortable angle.
“A little help here! Anybody?” they screamed. “We seem to be stuck… some sort of weird earthquake or something. Sink hole. Something weird! Hey!”
No one answered. Bus drove happily by and winked at Sidewalk.
Sidewalk smiled, trying to make the whole experience as gentle as possible. The girls knew that they were going to fall into something very, very black. They could just see a hint of it. It wasn’t dirt, or pipes, or any of the other junk one might find underground.
They saw what it really was just as they shrieked in disbelief…
It was stars.
This third book in Sir William's series is dangerous, involves a snake who lives in space, and includes the unexpected confrontation with a planet named, and inhabited by, Bob. Enjoy!

SIR WILLIAM AND BAD, BAD BAX
as told by
MAC
The fourth book of the series is not for those who fear the thing under the bed or the scratches on their bedroom window. Because this is the story of Bax. And no one is badder than Bax.
Their battle was a long time coming. She has threatened Earth before but now there is a contest. The contestant who captures the most souls wins. What can they win? A new planet of their choice.
Bax counts the children on Earth. The only problem? They're large, hard to control and transport. But she won't let that stop her.
But, perhaps, Sir William can.
Bad, Bad Bax has been bad for so long. This is her time.
Coming soon!
