"The Back End of Nowhere" is about Catrin Morgan from Pennsylvania, USA. Her Dad has to come to Wales (quite near Cardigan, actually) to open a new factory. Not surprisingly, Catrin doesn't want to leave America and all her friends and come to Wales which is, in her opinion, the Back End of Nowhere. But when she gets here, she meets not only the mysterious Twm (a direct descendant of Merlin) but also some thoroughly nasty bad guys.

And the adventures begin...

There's no doubt that it's a time when Angharad needs a friend - a good friend; possibly male.

Possibly more than one...

Taught to read and write by her real father, Tirion keeps an “official” diary for the eyes of the grown-ups in her life, but confides her real thoughts and feelings for her secret journal
