  5. Welcome to Wise Falcon Books

    This is the new home of Wise Falcon Books. Our full list is below: the Simple Science Series, The Alder Vale Farm Mysteries and our other books for children, and novels for adult readers.

    Each new book will be announced here, at the top of this page, on the day it is published.

Science books

Clearly explained and carefully checked. The Simple Science Series gathers the essential concepts, equations and solved problems of one subject into one volume, with the worked problems shown step by step.

Children’s books

Illustrated mysteries, fantasy and poetry for young readers — stories that reward curiosity and are written to be read aloud as happily as they are read alone.

The Alder Vale Farm Mysteries

Fifteen books in the series.

On Alder Vale Farm, Felicity Rowan carries a field notebook and a habit of asking one more question. Each book follows one crop through its season and one puzzle through to its answer — found by watching carefully, measuring honestly and testing ideas fairly, never by guessing. Real farming. Real evidence. No magic.

Classic poems, newly illustrated by Melissa Marlowe and edited by Herbert Ward, in volumes chosen for different ages — made for reading aloud, enjoying rhythm and rhyme, and looking closely at the pictures.

More for young readers

Age ranges are a guide, not a rule. A child’s interests, reading experience and an adult reading alongside all shape what a book can be for them.

Fiction

Full-length novels from Howard Corven — science fiction, fantasy and speculative fiction about evidence, consent and the cost of decisions.

The Cancer Protocol Trilogy

Three volumes, to be read in order.

A realistic speculative trilogy about cancer, consent and how far medicine should be allowed to go. It begins when Edino Varga, a researcher who builds disease-prediction models, finds his own diagnosis forecast in a data table he was never meant to be part of.
