Tom Slater’s brain began to race. Maybe that day presented an opportunity to her. By telling Chuck the truth about his wife, Tom would be able to save the Australian as she hoped.

This page is dedicated to Andrea, an author with an uncommon talent. She has penned a series of children's adventure stories in the style of Nancy Drew or The Famous Five, all revolving around a similar theme. In those stories, that theme was usually about the child, or children, confronting adversity and triumphing in the end... and so it is with The Petticoat Detective Squad.

Alas, these are all there are in the series, and there can be no more. Andrea was taken from among us. We will miss her great talent and her gentle spirit as exhibited in these elegant tales of naiveté and wonder.

These stories are written to depict a young boy's first innocent encounters with cross-dressing and his subsequent feelings. If the reader is seeking descriptions of explicit or adult sex then they will be disappointed because this sort of thing is not included here.

Return with me to the age of innocence and as a child, thrill in the mystery and adventure, as Andrea's stories come to life on these pages.

“Friendship is constant in all other things
Save in the office and affairs of love:
Therefore all hearts in love use their own tongues;

Sometimes you know what game you're playing, and sometimes you don't.

Some adventures are best told by the people who lived through them. Here's Drew Kelley again, exploring...
