Treasury of Coins

Some of the stories listed below may have content that is objectionable.  Mainly, it would be sex, but there are some instances of language and violence.  Do not read if you are 18 or younger or have problems with any of those types of things.  I follow the Jixemitri rating system.

Stories are listed in the order that they occur in my universe.  Please also note that, although each story is complete in and of itself, events in future stories make reference to and continue relationship arcs that start in earlier stories.  My recommendation is to start at the beginning, continue through to the middle and finish at the end.  *g*  However, if you choose not to, be forewarned that reading later stories may ruin surprises in earlier stories...;)

Please note that the stories in the Treasury of Coins universe assume the reader's working knowledge of the 39 previously published books of the Trixie Belden series.  The characters refer to events and dialogue as part of their past.
