Trixie Belden sites here at Schoolgirl Shamus, Inc.

Dana's fanfic offerings include the sappy Sapphire Days universe (continued in Gethsemane and Onyx Twilight), the First Impressions universe that tells the old stories from a new point of view, and the Un-Universe, where you don't know what you'll find!

Enter Susan's wonderfully romantic realm where you'll find a plethora perfectly perfect offerings:  plenty of redheaded men, spirited women, mysteries galore, a Victorian version of the Bob-Whites, an alternate existence explored, a new take on Kathryn Kenny, and—as if all that wasn't enough—a twist on the tainted timeline.  Treasury of Coins is a treasury of fantastic stories!

Enter Mary's fairy-tale-themed Trixie Belden fan site and be transported into a world where love, romance, and hot sex abound! Mary's talents run the gamut from comedy to serious and everything in between. And do not miss her trademark Tales of Tail!

Enter the heart of The Labyrinth, Kate's slightly darker realm, which includes her fabulous tales of the Bob-Whites in high school and Ever After—with the added twist of "the anti-Honey."  Also, take a side trip on one of the labyrinthine trails and visit the Pentash Valley (Kate's non-Trixie fiction)—you'll like what you find!

Jessica's lovely hospitality will make you feel right at home at the Glen Road Inn.  Jess promises us there will be stories, and they're sure to be as sweet and lovely as she is.  In the meantime, enjoy the Trixie Belden cover art that Jess has provided for you to peruse during your stay at the inn.
