| Maradonia Saga | comment |
The Maradonia Saga, written and self-published by Gloria Tesch, self-defined "One of the Worlds Youngest Novelists", starts as an everyday story. Then a girl called Maya and a boy called Joey find a World between the Worlds: Maradonia. Upon their arrival a prophecy is fulfilled, whereby they have to try and change the future of Maradonia.The series consists of three books, though later reprints split each in two, creating six books. Tesch originally planned to write three more books, but they seem to have been scrapped (although never officially canceled). Maradonia and the Seven Bridges (2008) Maradonia and the Gold of Ophir (2009) Maradonia and the Law of Blood (2010)The books were all illustrated with cover art by Marina Terkulova (who is Gloria Tesch's mother), and promoted heavily by Gerry Tesch (Gloria's father). | |

Alpha Bitch: Alana Terence, since she is "part of the 'Gothic Movement'", which makes her automatically evil. | |

Orphaned Series | |
| Maradonia Saga / int_2c18b9a3 | comment |
Orphaned Series: The last new book to be released was Maradonia and the Law of Blood, all the way back in 2010. The series presumably stalled due to Gloria preferring to focus on The Movie. It seems like the creators ran out of money and gave up on the series after the film's premiere, making the story end on an unresolved cliffhanger. Several other factors point towards the series being cancelled: as of January 2020, the Maradonia websites are down, none of the e-books are available for purchase, the only physical copies for sale are used, and Gloria Tesch's website focuses on her modelling. To make matters worse, Gerry Tesch, Gloria's father and the one person who helped promoting and publishing the series, died in 2018. In December 2019, Gloria Tesch released The Secret of Moon Lake (under the new name/pseudonym Sofia Nova) and called it her debut novel, effectively disowning Maradonia. | |

| Maradonia Saga / int_3c5ae1a1 | comment |
Schizo Tech: Flying saucers that fire blindness-causing rays and ocean liners co-exist with pre-gunpowder weaponry, gunpowder weaponry, horse-drawn vehicles, and a general vaguely late-Medieval/Renaissance atmosphere. This juxtaposition has no in-work explanation. | |

Invisibility Cloak: In the first book, Maya and Joey are gifted Tarnkappes, which turn them invisible when they are worn. It also allows them to jump really far | |
