About
When Cisco Collins returns to his home town thirty years after saving it from being destroyed by an ancient pirate ghost, he realises that being a child hero isn't at all like it was in the movies.
When Cisco Collins returns to his town thirty years after saving it from being swallowed by hell mouth opened by an ancient pirate ghost, he realises that being a child hero isn't at all like it was in the movies. Especially when nobody remembers the heroic bits — even the friends who fought alongside him back then.
Suffering a recent separation, struggling with single parenting, and treated as a joke, Cisco isn't really in the Christmas spirit like everyone else. Because the tendrils of the pirate's powers are creeping back into our world, people are beginning to die, and only he knows what's happening. With the help of a strange black fox, a stone giant, an enchanted forest, a childhood crush haunting his dreams, and an array of 80s video games consoles turned into weapons, Cisco must now convince his friends to help him save not only the town, but the world.
Yet the four of them quickly discover that being a ghostbusting hero is so much easier when you don't have schools runs, parent evenings and nativity plays to attend. And even in the middle of a supernatural battle, you always need to bring snacks and wipes... Dan is a writer, editor, and vastly overqualified archaeologist who has lived everywhere from London to Hertfordshire to Manchester to Sydney, which explains the panic in his eyes anytime someone asks "where are you from?". Thankfully he is now settled in the rolling green hills of the Peak District with his human family and fluffy sidekicks Indy and Maverick, where he writes books, screenplays and comics.
