Fletcher's Stoneheart, was shortlisted for the Branford Boase Award in 2007. ^[2] Stoneheart, along with Ironhand and Silvertongue make up the Stoneheart trilogy. In this trilogy there is a second reality to contemporary London, co-existing with "normal" reality, but seen by only a few people. This trilogy is about a boy who enters that second reality, and must survive in it.

Fletcher published a standalone novel, Far Rockaway, in September 2011. It is the story of a feisty young woman who is injured with her grandfather in an accident and who wakes up in a world constructed from all the classic swashbuckling adventure novels he read her as a child. She has to make her way to the castle at the end of this world in order to rescue him, knowing that only by so doing will she survive getting back in the real world. The story takes place both in this fantasy world and in the modern Manhattan ER in which doctors fight for both their lives as their family look on.

The Oversight, the first in a series of adult novels, was published by Orbit Books in May 2014.^[3]
