Tim has just been given his first solo monster slaying mission: to stop a vicious group of bloodthirsty vampires from attacking a vampire-themed festival. He's ready for everything except one thing: vampire fans! As exsanguinated corpses and severed limbs start piling up, Tim decides to team up with Penny and her friends. Together, they're going to try to stake, behead, and splosh their way out of Dracula's castle. Expect gore! Humour! Goo!
There's a revived Egyptian mummy loose in the History Museum and one gruesomely murdered victim! Luckily for everyone involved, the new director, Professor Wanda Gibbons, called the Order and Tim answered the call. It should be an easy mission - after all, a mummy is just a desiccated corpse wrapped in bandages. However, there's more than one threat lurking around...
How about we spend some time with the supporting cast? In this monster slaying-free adventure, Penny's best friends, Maggie and Nina, try to start their own feminist group but things are a lot more complicated than they expected. Meanwhile, Lisa reunites with her friends, but they're still upset about what happened in Romania. Also featuring: Cathy and Rick, evil pizza, and tentacles.
After a video of Penny killing a vampire is seen as a threat to fans of Game of Thrones, she agrees to go to Dr Lem's geek rehab clinic to deal with her supposed addiction to A Song of Ice and Fire. At first, everything seems fine and she even makes some new friends. However, Penny soon begins to suspect that there's something very, very wrong going on...

Penny and the Silver Key Part 1
The Silver Key has the power to send whoever uses it to a world where all their wishes have come true... or into the hungry, tentacled embrace of the ancient beings who inhabit the space between dimensions. Many have used the key and now it's Penny's turn. However, as she will soon find out, some doors should've stayed closed...
This e-book collects Penny and the Silver Key Preview (formerly titled Penny and the Silver Key #1) and Penny and the Silver Key #2.
After using the Silver Key, Penny finds herself trapped in a dystopian future where heroes become villains, friends become foes, George R R Martin finished writing A Song of Ice and Fire, and lizard people eat babies. All she wants is to go home, but the more she learns about this world, the more she fears that she may be trapped there forever!
