The Amelia Fantastica Holiday Collection
(2025)(A book in the Amelia Fantastica Short Misadventure series)
An omnibus of novels by Anne Avery
Private Investigator Maxie Peterson knows that Fairy Godmothers are all too real…and downright dangerous when they haul out their magic wands to ‘help’!
AMELIA AND THE PURLOINED PRESENTS
It’s Christmas Eve and all the presents under the tree at Friends Helping Friends’ community center have suddenly disappeared. For many in the community, those presents are the only ones they’ll see this Christmas, so when the Friends call on struggling investigations agent Maxie Peterson for help, there’s no way she can say no.
Unfortunately, her bumbling fairy godmother Amelia, who’s already ‘disappeared’ all of Maxie’s Christmas wrapping paper and ribbon (by accident, of course!), isn’t about to be left out. Not even when five pint-sized delinquents (Amelia hates kids) and their scruffy mutt Tuffy (she hates dogs even more!), insist on helping, too.
Mix it together and you’ve got a tangle that even Santa will have a hard time sorting out in time for Christmas!
AMELIA AND THE CANDY CANE CAPER
It’s Christmas Eve and Maxie is on her first solo patrol as a newly minted cop with the River City Police Department. Checking on a sixteen-year-old girl who hasn’t come home from work on time doesn’t seem too much of a challenge. That is, not until Maxie discovers the gates to The North Pole, Station 12 are locked and the only way she’ll get through is with a little magical help from her fairy godmother Amelia. '''Help’ and ‘Amelia’ don’t normally go together, but Christmas is a time of miracles…even if Amelia is along for the ride!
AMELIA AND THE FIRECRACKER FOURTH
It’s the Fourth of July and Maxie is all set for the traditional Sharanski Family picnic, a massive gathering of family and friends for baseball, barbecue, tons of food and beer, and an evening under the stars watching River City’s annual fireworks spectacular. It’s a fantastic way to celebrate the Fourth…until she gets caught in the crossfires between dueling fairy godmothers!
