Book 1 - Inappropriate Magic
A fantasy comedy adventure!
When destiny knocked on Chauncy's door, someone else answered it...and told destiny to take a hike. So instead of going on a grand adventure to become a great and powerful wizard so he could save the world from certain destruction, Chauncy got a job.
Twenty-five years later, destiny came for Chauncy a second time...and when he told it to take a hike, it knocked him out, tied him up, and kidnapped him.
Now Chauncy has no choice but to go on the grand adventure he'd been putting off, to become a great and powerful wizard. Except he doesn't believe in magic, and he doesn't particularly believe in destiny either. Problem is, if he doesn't fulfill his destiny, the world as he knows it will end. And even if he does learn to become the wizard he should have been long ago, it might be too late anyway!
Book 2 - Ridiculously Inappropriate Magic
Having saved magic from destruction by the Evermore Trading Company, Chauncy settles down in his hometown of Southwick, ready to build a life with his girlfriend. That is, until destiny comes a-knockin' on his front door again. For it appears that The Dark One is rising to destroy the world - for real this time - and if Chauncy doesn't do something about it, everything and everyone he cares about is going to die!
Now Chauncy is forced on an adventure he really doesn't want to go on, to try to defeat an evil that's very likely going to kill him. For, in not wanting to fulfill this particular destiny, Chauncy has lost the ability to feel magic. And if he doesn't figure out some way to regain his powers, he's doomed to fail...and the world will be doomed to eternal darkness!
Book 3 - Ludicrously Inappropriate Magic
Having saved the world twice now, Chauncy settles down to enjoy his life as the fiance of his first and only love, Valtora. But after she gives birth to their son Chaos, Chauncy discovers that his life is in mortal danger. For his father’s estranged wife Zella Trek believes quite strongly that Chauncy should never have been born. And as such, she is determined to murder him.
Thus begins Chauncy’s third adventure, through the Gate to the magical kingdom of Pravus, then to the Great Wood and the Cave of Wonder. A standard journey, or so it seems...until Zella Trek kidnaps Chauncy, taking him to her evil lair. To his
surprise and despair, she falls for him, and is determined to make him her lover.
Now, Chauncy must escape Zella’s clutches, and save his fiancee and son from certain doom. For if he fails, everything he loves in this world will end...and he’ll suffer a fate worse than death as Zella’s unwilling groom!
Book 4 - Absurdly Inappropriate Magic
Three years after his last adventure, Chauncy is itching for destiny’s call. Mostly to escape his son Chaos, who was – as any parent of a three-year-old could predict – a bit of an asshole. One who’d completely ruined his life, actually.
But when destiny at last arrives in the form of Imperius Fanning himself, Chauncy learns that Chaos is destined to become a powerful villain…one that he must stop at all costs. But first he has to stop the Evermore Trading Company. For it is sending its armies to march into the magical kingdom of Pravus, threatening to destroy the source of magic itself.
Now Chauncy must save magic from Evermore, and stop Chaos from reigning supreme. Acts which only absurdly inappropriate magic can achieve!
Book 5 - Insanely Inappropriate Magic
When the great wizard Imperius Fanning comes to Chauncy Little’s door, ready to tell him of his next destined adventure, Chauncy’s toddler Chaos answers it instead. And promptly murders Imperius, by dropping a meteorite on his head. By accident, of course.
With no idea of what destiny Imperius was going to impart, Chauncy must once again travel to the magical kingdom of Pravus, making his way to the Great Wood before plunging into the dark depths of the Cave of Wonder, where he might get a hint of what the heck he’s supposed to do. On the way, he’s attacked by Devorah Doverah, Imperius Fanning’s second-in-command. For, having murdered Imperius, Chaos is now a wanted criminal…and his sentence is death.
Now Chauncy must make a choice: save Chaos from certain death and become a wanted criminal himself…or let Devorah exact justice upon Chaos, and lose his firstborn son!
Book 6 - Chaotically Inappropriate Magic
When destiny knocks on Chauncy Little’s door for a sixth time, he answers it ready to heed its call. Unfortunately, the call isn’t for him, but for his ten-year-old son Chaos. Being a responsible parent, Chauncy tells destiny to take a hike…dooming the world, unfortunately enough.
Luckily, when destiny comes a-knockin’, it rarely does so just once. So when it knocks again, Chaos answers the call, and is told to go to a country called Grissam to meet his destiny.
As it turns out, Chaos’s destiny is a girl named Destiny, a paladin who loves kicking zombie butt…and who insists that Chaos follow her into the heart of a cursed city filled with undead, to destroy an ancient evil that lies within!
Book 7 - Furiously Inappropriate Magic
When destiny knocks on Chauncy Little’s door, it calls not for Chauncy, nor Chaos, but his sweet, adorable teenage daughter Fury Little. A girl so kind and gentle that she wouldn’t hurt a fly.
Which is unfortunate, because her destiny is to battle a literal army of evil. Unkindly. Ungently.
Now Fury must venture off to the fabled land of Ferra Lin, to find the magic she holds within. Magic that will help her fulfill her destiny and save the world from horrifying hordes of evil. If she fails, the world will end. For real this time. Really!
