The Basker Twins in the 31st Century is a middle grade, futuristic adventure trilogy set almost a thousand years into the future. The series is available at Amazon.com:
- Danger at the Clone Academy
- The Mystery of the Pendant
- The Return of the Vlemutz
I had so much fun doing world building for that future. Some of my favorite inventions include:
- “Jellach vehicles” which bounce off each other without harm as they zip through the air.
- Incredibly helpful, nearly invisible devices called pico-brownies that clean houses at night.
- Zero-calorie chocolate–a dream come true!
You’ll find many more fun innovations when you read my books!

Meet the Ba
sker twins… Danger at the Clone Academy
When twelve-year-old twins, Elsie and Everest, are forced to attend their uncle’s boarding school for clones while their parents are off-world on a secret mission, little do they expect to have a dangerous adventure themselves. The year is 3002, the place is Northern California, and on the surface, thirty-first-century Earth is a virtual paradise with no war, violent crime, homelessness, poverty, or disease. But underneath the pretty façade, greed and deception still exist. Someone at the clone academy is smuggling in artifacts from the twenty-first century for outrageous profit. The students are being used as cover for this reprehensible abuse of time travel for personal gain. Elsie and Everest must overcome the clones’ initial distrust and dislike so that they all can band together to fight a common enemy. Life gets even more complicated when the Baskers and the clones find they’ve transplanted a twenty-first-century kid to the thirty-first century. Now the students have to stop the bad guys without irreparably altering history as they know it. Read prologue/first 3 chapters…
The Basker T
wins are back in… The Mystery of the Pendant
Twelve-year-old twins, Elsie and Everest, finally feel as if they are starting to fit in at their uncle’s boarding school for clones, despite not being clones themselves. Then a man claiming to be a close associate of their parents, arrives at the academy and tells them their parents—off-world on a secret mission—are missing and presumed dead. He demands they give him the pendants that their parents made them promise to keep safe. The twins refuse to believe their parents are dead, and there is no way they will trust this stranger. Instead, they choose to run, hoping to find and save their parents. To their surprise, twelve-year-old clones Dar, Vlas, Lelita and Borneo, as well as twenty-first-century transplant, Larry Knight, offer their help. With danger on all fronts, this intrepid team will do whatever it takes to save the Basker Twins’ parents and solve the mystery of the pendants. Read first 3 chapters…
